Which, long gone, musician or composer do you wish was still alive and still performing/composing?
 
After listening to his best work for a whole evening, my vote is for Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff.

Geroge Gershwin - I think he'd be a riot!

Francesco Durante. Some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. His works for choir or anything with vocals are simply sublime.

Richard Wagner. I would want him to create another huge cycle like The Ring.

Schubert, died far too young but still managed to make some *very* good music - would be nice to know what he'd composed if he'd lived another 30 years or so.
