Germany

This graph shows the number of composers from the list of 51 (see Composers) for each country represented. Composers ranked 1-10 are separated from composers ranked 11-51.

Edit: There are errors in the graph due to the fact that (1) Richard Strauss (ranked #34) was German and not Austrian and (2) Handel (ranked #9) is by consensus an English composer, even though he was born in Germany. The corrected totals are as follows:

Country Total (Top 10)
Germany 10 (4)
France 9 (0)
Russia 8 (1)
Austria 6 (3)
Italy 5 (1)
England 4 (1)
Hungary 2 (0)
etc.
