Probably Beethoven for orchestration. Chopin or Debussy for piano. The Mozart for opera and the Requiem.

Gluck, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven.
I listen to operas during workouts!
(Lully, Rameau, Haendel, Berlioz)

While not of the 'classical' period,
strictly speaking, I especially enjoy
Bruckner and Strauss symphonies.

Now: Dowland and Byrd lute music.

This question is like asking a parent which child is their favorite, its an impossible question

After playing Classical piano for ten years, my only way to answer this question is that Its really whoever I am listening to at the time, or playing at the time.

Nevertheless, I do have a special love for some composer, Brahms, Liszt, Haydn, Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart.

Have been increasingly interested in the works of Cesar Franck, his writing of Cyclic Form is truly amazing, his first trio in F# minor is just beautiful...

At this point it's pretty much a tie between Gabrielli and Monteverdi.

I also really love Tchaikovsky, Bach and Schubert, though. Bach's counterpoint was amazing. Schubert's lyrical movements are the shit, and Tchaikovsky is just awesome in general (not to mention he was gay and rather handsome.)

Tchaikovsky's grandness and "over-the-topness" gets me every time.
