It may or may not be your favorite composer, but it would be the composer you feel most comfortable playing.
For me:
late Beethoven
Liszt
Brahms
Ravel

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Which composer(s) do you play best?

Bach is the greatest -- bar none.
I try my best to play his music, and even the attempt is worth it.
Easy music to play (played it all my life): Gershwin, Rhapsody in Blue (fits the hand well -- even the fast toccata is possible).
But Bach is the most rewarding.

Haha, I've never liked Bach..
For me it's probably Chopin or Cyril Scott. Maybe even a little Debussy.

Wow! Which Clementi, and which Tchaikovsky?
I've played several pieces from Clementi's Gradus ad Parnassum (they're challenging) and several of his sonatas; and the Tchaikovsky Grand Sonata in G Major, Op, 78 (which is a finger-buster)!

My piano teacher gives me music to learn, so I don't usually have books with just one composer in it. Though I did buy a book called Scarlatti Sixty Sonatas In Two Volumes.
I'm just finishing up working on all the little things in Clementi's Sonatina in G, op. 36 No. 2. And I'm working on Tchaikovsky's Andante Cantabile (fifth Sumphony) op. 64. and Swan Lake Ballet (theme)

I love different pieces by nearly all or a majority of our great composers- so I can't pick.

You're playing Messiaen and Langlais at AGE 17???
Can we say, "National Young Organist of the Year" material?

heh, hardly...I get nervous during competitions. Last competition I played in, I didn't win because my Bach was all over the place tempo-wise. And the fact that the winner was a grad student.

Got good marks on the Messiaen though.
I've been practicing a lot more this semester though. Currently working on a Bach Trio Sonata, Reger Te Deum, Mendelssohn sonata, and finishing up Messiaen's La Nativite. Also pulled out Le Banquet Celeste just because that one's easy and I can sight read it. Thinking of doing a Te Deum set for the spring...if I'm feeling really adventurous, I might even give the Tournemire a try.

The Bach Trio Sonata is a beautiful, and challenging piece. I enjoy it immensely. Come Sweet Death, the Fox arrangement is also very stirring and moving. Widor's 5th is certainly a must for any organist's repertoire.heh, hardly...I get nervous during competitions.

My favorites for organ, besides Bach of course: Buxtehude, Handel, Purcell, Langlais, Widor, Purvis, Dupre, Boyce, Reger, and Brahms.

Which Trio Sonata do you like? I'm learning No. 2, but there are six. I also enjoy Langlais. I played selections from Suite Medievale for my recital last year, and can also play portions of Suite Breve.

My grammar needs some editing I see. LOL The Trio Sonatas are actually 6 pieces. The 2nd and the 5th Sonatas are my favorites. The second movement of the 2nd Sonata is absolutely beautiful and stirring. I bet you are having fun, and a rewarding experience studying this piece.
