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.
