I don't mean to start a flame war on this delightful topic but IMHO the
Romantic composers begin with, say, Schubert who bridges the Classic and
Romantic styles. When I grew up in Vienna I was taught that Haydn,
Mozart, and Beethoven were THE classic composers. Of course that was a
long time ago, and musicologists (which I'm not) or music lovers (which
I am) may have as many opinions on this topic as Leicaphiles have on
lenses etc.
