I'll go for Johannes Brahms (1833-1897).

("What? Not Bach?", you'll ask. Well, just personal taste, I guess.)

Great selection, ON :tiphat:

Hmmm ... I can't find any German composers with the letter "I", so perhaps we should move on:

Gustav Uwe Jenner (1865-1920) He studied composition with Brahms for 7 years, apparently the only pupil (in that subject) to do so with the famed composer. Later, upon Brahms reccomendation, he became director of music at Marburg university.

This game is actually more tricky than it looks. Mahler, did you suggest? Nope! Not born in present-day Germany. Mendelssohn is safer!
Felix Mendelssohn (Bartholdy) (1809-47), Hamburg, Germany.

No N in sight, shall we move on?

Carl "Carmina Burana" Orff (1895-1982), born in Munich.

Thank you, Art Rock ...

Michael Praetorius (1571-1621)

Btw, there are two viewable works (youtube) of Praetorius in the Classical Music Forum Surprise Work of the Month thread, a new monthly feature here on MIMF.

Hey, you guys forgot Anton Ursprung (1850-1907). :mad::smirk:


Anyway, here's the next one: Richard Wagner (1813-1883) - whom else. :grin:

Guess it's my bad :crazy::smash:, acc ... I couldn't find a "U" :cry:

I don't know if there is a "X" or "Y" for German composers - any takers out there?
