I simply moved the list from european classical music. I am not endorsing the entries, or any omissions. Stirling Newberry 17:50, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
I added two obvious omissions that came to mind. Liszt, of course, was famous for his Hungarian Rhapsodies, as well as Italian- and Spanish-based compositions, all of which availed themselves of folk tunes. And Chopin was the first great Western classical composer to introduce Slavic elements in his music. Young Kreisler 21:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

- Béla Bartók
- Johannes Brahms
- Frédéric Chopin
- Aaron Copland
- Henry Cowell
- Antonín Dvořák
- Franz Joseph Haydn
- Edvard Grieg
- Zoltán Kodály
- Franz Liszt
- Seán Ó Riada

- Igor Stravinsky
- Bedřich Smetana
- Ralph Vaughan Williams
