Lately I've been listening to Schubert's entire catalog. Such brilliance. It's hard to claim any renowned composers are underrated but Schubert may just be. If he only lived beyond his 31 years. The music he could have created. "The Trout" is my current go-to piece and even my 4 year old son is in love with it.

Serendade (Ständchen) is a nice composition by Schubert, too.

My favorites are

Burgmüller
Vivaldi
Bach
Händel
Loeillet

did I say, that I hate Mozart?
His music is so uncreative and he relied so much on skill and playfullness,
instead of touching the people with something deep

I find it somewhat odd that you criticize Mozart for this, yet Tchaikovsky is in your top 5...
IMO, Mozart has a lot of material that I would describe as deep.

I'm not trying to tell you what to think, or that you should/must like Mozart it just seems a bit contradictory to me.

The thing about Mozart is that he is sitting on a throne, that so many musicians would earn to sit on a million times more than he does.

I didn't say that he is a bad musician or that there is absolutely no meaning in his music, but he is overrated times a zillion.

And yeah, I like Tchaikovsky. And I don't really see your point there :/
Mozart is Wiener Klassik(Vienna Classic?), while Tchaikovsky takes his elements from Russian Romantic Classic... :/ This is like comparing a banana to an avocado
