I was watching the Arts & Entertainment Network last night and caught
toward the end of a program they had on the most significant individuals
of the last 1000 years.  When I started watching, the program was down to
the top 25 or so.  Three classical composers were bunched closely around
number 20:  Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart, with Mozart doing the best.
Making the selections was some panel appointed by the network.  I can
safely assume that Bob Draper had no influence on the panel.

In case you're interested in who was the "top dog", I was surprised that
it was the creator of the printing press - Gutenberg (sp?).  I thought it
would be Michael Jordan.
