great discussion! so hard to pick 7 but here goes:
#Bach
#Beethoven
#Chopin
#Ellington
#Haydn
#Schubert
#Weill
ellington is my favorite composer bar none, but he isn't often considered a 'classical' composer, and i'll just say that if gershwin (whose songs i infinitely prefer to his long-form works) is classical, so is ellington - if having done a longform work is a criterion, 'black, brown and beige' checks the box (and listen to the 50s version with mahalia jackson).
strong seconds:
