you just claimed yourself of being not a composer at all it is easilly in the thousands even in far away centers like the one I come from in Brasil... every composer in Brasil studies Schoenbeg, he is obrigatory part of the lessons... everybody has his books... they are on the libraries... for Christ Sake, which world do you live in? Demand a survey for the obvious? I am speechless

Sorry, this conclusion does not follow from the observation at all. In some
European countries grammar school students must take lessons in Latin for
many years. Yet the application of this language by students in real life is
evidently close to zero. Further, in some countries students were forced,
due to political reasons, to take lessons in languages that were extremely
unpopular. The results of these lessons were also often approaching zero.

Where is this listing?
Have these composers ever been counted?
Has there ever been an empirical survey on this issue at all?
