List of Famous Composers

It is not an easy task to create a list of famous composers and separate them, according to the historic period. Some of these people, like true talents, were much ahead of their times. So, occasionally, we might find a true Renaissance man living in the Early Medieval period. It is like these famous stories about Time Machine and its inventor going back to the past.

Anyways, this list is in progress. I hope that it will be more or less completed when I put all the major players on the map.
