Name ten Hamburg composers

The city of Hamburg is so excited by the tercentenary of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach that it is building a museum courtyard for all the composers that ever lived within its hospitable society.

1 Johannes Brahms has a museum all to himself.

2 CPE Bach we’ve mentioned.

So who else?

3 Telemann

4 Hasse

5 Mahler (1891-97)

er…. and ….?

6 Ligeti lived there in the 1990s. So did

7 Alfred Schnittke.

That leaves….

Keep thinking.
