Compositional Tables

I was going to steal this table, but Lynn stole it first. No matter. I’ll fill my own values in anyway:

Handel Highly Cool
Vivaldi Highly Boring
Bach One of the Titans
Johann Josef Fux Who?
Haydn OK
Mozart One of the Titans
Beethoven One of the Titans
Schubert Highly cool
Mendelssohn Fairly cool
Berlioz THE Titan
Schumann Highly cool
Brahms One of the Titans
Wagner The OTHER Titan
Verdi Highly cool
Rachmaninoff My heart melts
Sibelius Meh.
Stravinsky Pretty cool
Schönberg OK until he went the “Key signatures optional” route
Ravel Bolero? Unimaginably bad. Everything else? Quite cool.
Poulenc Meh.
Havergal Brian No idea.
Messiaen On the basis of Turangalila, highly cool
Boulez No idea
A bunch of living composers I’m too lazy to
mention
Film composers? Highly cool.
Another bunch of living composers I’m too
cowardly to mention
Some cool, some not. Or something like that.
Any University of Michigan composer Alma Mater of Tom Brady? The place must be destroyed.
Any Ohio State composer No idea on composers, but hey, thanks for putting Willis McGahee so far down in the draft!

The point? No point, really.
