Bob Draper wrote praising Haydn, Brahms, Sibelius, Beethoven, VW, Bruckner,
Mendelsohn, JS Bach, Schubert, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Nielson, etc.

You seem to be ranking only orchestral music and composers only according
to their orchestral output.  (While some of the composers you list wrote
music that wasn't orchestral, e.g., Haydn, Schubert, Beethoven, when you
list your favorite works, you list none that aren't orchestral.) Maybe,
w/ few exceptions, that's the only music you really like.  It makes for
a skewed ranking of composers, however.
