ok, lets make this comparively easy for a relative neophytate to classical.Composers I should start with?

[Danbo1]

I'm not quite a beginner but I am not filled w the nomenclature of music .
As a kid who grew up w West Side Story and then Bernsteiens variation on the musical. I have likes, Jupiter,Der Requiem,Beethoven (who really grabs me)
Debussey who is light years away from B.
So there you have it...Advice
