Please don't rack your brain too much, it hurts.
There's no way to determine "most covered sole composer," more importantly,
it doesn't matter. Like I said, Joni doesn't need to have her validity
bolstered in a spurious way ("most covered single composer besides Mozart")
... let's just leave it at "wow, she's been covered a shitload of times!"
Factoring in composers like Mozart (as in the original comparison), there's
no way to tell because like all those other long dead composers, his music is
in the public domain and therefore not necessarily tracked by performing
rights organizations or other groups with similar databases.
