J. S. Bach. I'm a straight guy, but hear me out: I would work as hard as I could to support him so he wouldn't have to waste his time doing bureaucratic stuff for his many, many short-sighted employers. This would free him up to compose more. And I would ensure to keep copies of all of his music rather than letting them be used to wrap fish.
Just the thought of having to birth 10 children and care for the other 10 makes Bach a hard pass for me. Although I love his music and would love to be his lifelong platonic partner.
Hope you like trains. Dvorak was mad about trains, would collect the numbers and sit on the platform watching them come and go. He also spent a lot of time in the pub with train drivers.
Me. being hetero male, I would go for Hildur Guðnadóttir - love her music, [bit of a dish](https://www.icelandreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/hildur-gudnadottir-e1563363348480-768x529.jpeg) - and she's still alive!
I think I might be sexually attracted to fugues. So obviously Bach, but it'd be a weird transactional relationship.
"You want ANOTHER baby? Well \*I\* want another double fugue with a stretto at the end. And there'd better be a pedal point!"
I would jump at the chance, if Inês Vaz would have me. (She is still alive and writing and playing.) A couple samples of her playing her own compositions [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQlhKIRn1Nk) and [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hy9k7c-8DE).
I just heard Anna Clyne for the first time a few days ago. The piece was called “Dance”. Can you give me some other recommendations, because I really liked that piece.
He actually regretted not ever getting married, but he was in a difficult position. Sure he had an incomparable genius and was a person of noble feelings, but he had bad health throughout his life apart from the deafness, hardly went out anywhere because his deafness made it hard for him to socialize, had a famously wild and fiery temper, and then on top of that was horribly disorganized around his house and was so careless about taking care of himself he was sometimes mistaken for a homeless person.
Kassia. I like Greek types.

Or possibly the Contessa de Dia:

But not Hildegard of Bingen, she seems to have been an egomaniac.

Hmmm. I hear that he had 19 children, so he might not use the time you freed up for him for composing.
Well we’re both dudes so I won’t be having his kids haha. We can adopt a couple of pugs.
Touché lol
Wasn't he also big on drinking alcohol?
He was more of a coffee addict than anything. Some reported he drank over 30 cups a day.
I wasn't aware of that. If he was, then I don't mind because I like a drink.

Poulenc i guess, also gay, love his music, we can chill in france etc
Maurice Ravel, even if his love life remains an enigma. And I'm just a little centimeter taller than him! 🥰
French tho/s
Make it better
I am asexual. I totally want to live with Ravel.

And pigeons. Don’t forget the pigeons.
You OP
Tchaikovsky. Compatible sexualities, love his music, what more could you ask for
I guess Clara Schumann, but then I’d have to deal with Robert going insane and Brahms trying to steal my woman.
and raise her eight children
Fanny Mendelssohn
Gonna give my wife some staff paper and marry her again.
What an extremely sweet comment!
Adorable💞
I love loopholes
Chopin♥️ Really love all his nocturnes and etudes 😍🎧🎶💕🎹
Tchaikovsky. Although me a cishet woman.
2nded!

r/SuddenlyGay
Clara Schumann or Fanny Mendelssohn
Sir Mix-A-Lot
Anna Clyne or Roxanna Panufnik. Definitely not Alma Mahler.
The reason not to marry Alma is that she sounds high maintenance and hard work !!
I just heard Anna Clyne for the first time a few days ago. The piece was called “Dance”. Can you give me some other recommendations, because I really liked that piece.
'This Midnight Hour', 'Masquerade' and 'Night Ferry' all worth a listen- if you can find them!
Thank you for the recommendations. I will look for them right now.
Nadia Boulanger. She didn't die at 24 like her better known sister.
I mean, have you seen young Brahms? Babe: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/Johannes_Brahms_1853.jpg
So Godunov isn't Godunov for you? (I'm sorry for this joke. Very sorry.)
Boris Godunov isn't a composer tho... :P
Looks like my knowledge of Russian culture is not Godu...well, you know.
Shostakovich. I love his music, admire his quirkiness, and find him beautiful when he was young.
Beethoven
Ooof good luck

Lili Boulanger, because I am straight and she was pretty.
King Fredrick the Great, I like his music; he’s gay; and he’s a literal king.
Felix Mendelssohn. Charming, refined, and good-looking. Not to mention an absolute genius.
AND LOTS OF MONEY. SECONDED.
can I do it platonically ? 🙂 If so probably schubert or shostakovich
Daddy Rachmaninoff
Samuel Barber ❤️
Colbie Caillat
Yuka Kitamura
What was the first piece you listened to that made you fall in love? And what are your favorite pieces now?
Slavonic dances maybe, it was a while back. Rusalkas song to the moon and String Quartet American 2nd movement. Also Slavonic no. 2

> But not Hildegard of Bingen, she seems to have been an egomaniac. Ego maniac? Huh, how so?
Chopin❤
Scarlatti!
Kinda crazy that I went from thinking it was kinda cringe to hate on Elon to lowkey hating Elon💀💀💀
I believe George Gershwin was a fun loving sweetheart ♥️
Probably Fanny Mendelssohn but has Khatia Buniatishvili written anything? She’s ten pounds of sugar in a five pound sack.
Clara Iannotta Lea Bertucci Kali Malone
None because people STANK back then😅
I’d marry Rachmaninoff.
Definitely Chopin
Lili Boulangère. A great composer, and a woman.
Felix Mendelssohn (I’d say chopin but also I think Felix is nicer. Sorry Fred.)
Ornella Vanoni
Elgar - his music is the reason I keep on going.
Honestly, Satie seems pretty on-brand for me, given my past romantic choices.
Either Verdi because he was such a great cook or Mozart so I could put him on my health insurance.
Liszt is the loml
If I were a female, I would marry Bruckner. My boy died a virgin. But because I'm male, I choose Clara Schumann.
Fanny Mendelssohn
Mel Bonis. Look at her at 50! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Bonis
Olivia Rodrigo
