I do. There's npr classical stations all over the US. I would try to find them when I was trucking. When ppl would call me, they would tell that they usually didn't know ppl, especially truckers, that still listen to classical. I find it calming. It passes the time. I'm able to escape in classical. It deepens my thoughts. It's great to hear Copland riding through WV when the sun is riding.

Mozart
Chopin
Satie
Brahms
Schubert
Copland
Haydn, both
Beethoven
Liszt
Schumann
Debussy
Wagner

Mozart, Chopin, and Satie are my top 3. Debussy then Beethoven would round out my top 5

My favorite composers are Brahms, Mahler, Bruckner and Beethoven, in that order. I know all of them on your list except Satie. Can't say I've ever heard any of his music.

Chopin is my least favorite on your list. It always sounds either morbid, or over-refined. Don't care for this composer.

Throw a little Rachmanninov into that mix. I used to listen to his music a lot driving in the vast desert expanses of the southwest. It just seemed to fit. Of course I listen to all the composers you listed as well.
