You're a pussy! You listen to songs with words like Sugarplum and Fairies in it!!!
All that aside, Schubert's Impromptu #4 and Chopin Ballade #1 are some of my top favorites as well! Debussy's Children's Corner is also A+. Hard to pick out a favorite

I will have to agree for the most part. There is not much that Chopin does wrong. Schubert, I lean toward preference of his lieder. His settings of Goethe, Mueller, and Heine are some of the best.
Debussy is hit and miss with me. I love his experimentation with tonal colours, but some of his other works can be derivative. Items such as L 91
Nocturnes and
Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune are among his best (and most popular). I find French music from the Romantic period to be hit and miss as a whole, however.
Mahler, on the other hand, ranks in my top three composers, as well as Wagner (though that should be no surprise
