Great quiz. One gripe: I was wondering how any list of the greats could avoid listing Liszt himself, until I realised that you didn't spell him quite right.

My thoughts exactly. Frustrating when you know a name should be included but it has been misspelled by the quiz creator

Claudio Monteverdi, Bedřich Smetana, Franz Liszt (still), Gioachino Rossini have typos. There are also several accents missing. Great quiz nonetheless!

A fun and attractive quiz, but Liszt is still spelled wrong! I couldn't believe he didn't make the list (not alone in that). Finally a quiz that includes Milhaud. I wish more people knew his works.
