I had never heard of Jean Sibelius before, but I just listened to a few of his compositions (one of which was Finlandia) and it sounds great!
I'll probably change him out for one of the more unknown French guys, because France is a little overrepresented and I did not include a single Finn...
PS. Finland is by far the 'coolest' country of Europe :)
Thank you! It shows great dedication that you wanted to listen to Jean Sibelius. Finlandia is considered to be his major work, and it is commonly loved and respected here in Finland.
I agree that some countries are so well represented here that it is good to have also other countries, if possible. But this is a great quiz already.
PS. Finland is cool. THE Winter is again coming. :)
It's a great quiz! Please can you allow standard British/US spellings of Russian names: Tolstoy, Tchaikovsky, Dostoevsky (and variations of those). Also, it's Shelley, not Shelly, and it would be good to allow the usual form of Mondrian (the form he used after 1906). Glad to see Sibelius – but it's a little strange not to see Wagner or Verdi in the 19th century.
PS. As a Finn I would like to see Jean Sibelius here, but I respect your choices.

My personal choice was to focus on the chronology, but probably most of you just guess answers (what's totally fine).
Is it too hard in that case?
Sorry for the Russian names;
I'm from the Netherlands and here all of those are written differently!
I'll fix Shelley's name and will allow Mondrian.
As for Wagner or Verdi: I was trying not to overdo the composers and Italy and Germany already got many names in the list.
