Throughout the ages, there have been countless composers who have contributed their time and effort to create music. Almost never, have composers created music for money. If they wanted money,

composers - Johann Bach - Ludwig Beethoven - Johannes Brahms - Benjamin Britten - Frederic Chopin - Claude Debussy - Antonin Dvorak - Franz Haydn - Scott Joplin - Felix Mendelssohn - Wolfgang Mozart - Franz Schubert - Robert Schumann - Peter Tchaikovsky - Richard Wagner

there were other, more prestigious jobs available. Rather, the following people wrote music because they loved music. The following list of composers is by no means complete. In fact, we have not even scratched to surface. We have tried to include all the classical composers ranging from the baroque Bach to the romantic Tchaikovsky. We have also included some more modern composers such as Scott Joplin. All composers here are true masters of music and have influenced the type of music we listen to. All contemporary pop musicians are somehow influenced by the music of these musical masters.
