Classical Top Five

If most will concede Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, and Brahms as " the given" top 4, who would you choose as number 5?

History suggests Mozart and Beethoven studied with Haydn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_Haydn He was called "papa" for a reason. I would shoehorn Vivaldi in as well, since he was creating before all of them, the top 5 should be a top 6!
