Shostakovitch should be on there instead of someone like Dvorak.
I think you're entirely misled here. Bach is by far the master of music. His mastery of counterpoint is demonstrated in almost all of his impressive music. Besides how prolific he was, he had a quality of music that far surpasses Mozart and Beethoven; he wrote fugues with pleasure and power, while his less complex posterity had extreme difficulty doing so. He wrote fugues without pen and paper at times. His Mass in B Minor BWV 232 is considered the most perfect piece of music ever written. Composing for 6 voices on multiple occasions and bringing the Baroque Era to its summit are achievements worthy of earning him the title of the best.
