Here's a personal vote for all three: Wozzeck, Verdi, and Puccini are all high on my own list, and I'll throw in Lulu, Mozart, and Wagner on the opera side as well. That being said, I do tend to lean more toward pure orchestral music, but in my book a great opera composer is first of all a great composer. -Lee _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
