Who is the greatest... Bach`s brillaicne of harpsichird and solo violin and cello pieces and that well tempered clavier and " Air on a G string " so called by some and his arias and fugues of mathmatical counterpoint and depth and genius and how he wrote each note for God......or Mozart...the musical Christ...with the infectious tunes and amazing piano concertos of grace and whimsicality and those wonderful operas of Shakseparean characterisation and beauty and those symphonies and such amazing chanber music for strings and flutes and those concert arias and masses and all dead by 35......Or Beethoven master of what comes next the revolutionary, the symphonies of genius and sonatas as the new testament of music the individual striving icon of the new stiring of a romantic age with the profundity of his third phase? Too much? Behind the natural grace of Mozart and he too behind the perfection of Bach?? Who??? Who should be the one?

They are all masters in their own right. Their music is all unique and special in it own way, so they really can't be compared, except for personal opinion. I prefer Johann Strauss myself, but he's not among the options here. Which one is greater all depends on personal opinion. There's no right or wrong answer.
