Actually I meant classical composers in general - but I took the liberty of researching the names above. Classical music is such a deeper music than jazz. There's so much going on at any one given point, no clue how those guys did it. From my highschool days, the only word that stands out is counterpoint, but you've got your main melody, another main melody, a couple thousand variations of the melody mixed with .. and the list goes on and on. And a lot of those average runs on the violins are giving any well known guitarist a run for his money. Those guys that play a little classical intro before wiping into their mega solo tunes are nothing man. nothing.
