Personally, a whole page wouldn't be enough for listing mine...
Quite impossible answer.

I'm not good at listing favourites, but do I need to even say it? Gerhard Trede. Man was a masterful composer.

Gerhard Narholz is simply on Trede level too.

Harry Bluestone is good!

Honestly though, most library music is good, so I'll listen to just whatever, no matter the composer.
