| I think it's dangerous business to do a top 100 list...music is not a competitive sport. There are those that will then come back and say, "But what about auditions, festival contests, DCI, marching band, etc."
Well, this is a bit different. ALL of those works are great works. Who are we to say that Mahler's 2nd is a better piece than Shostakovitch's 5th or Beethoven's 3rd or Haydn's 104th or Mozart's 41st. They are different. They are saying different things. Entirely. It's kind of like saying Brownie's solos are better than Freddie's. No...they aren't. They're different.
