Before it was easy to go to concerts, get recordings, etc. it was very hard to actually hear lots of classical music. Piano transcriptions were a way for people to bring music to their home that they liked, and play it for themselves. Plus, composers (and the arrangers) would make more money selling these transcriptions than simply making money from concerts.

In chronological order, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven. There are no other famous classical composers. Now, should we chose to expand to the other two periods of music we would find several other famous composers, such as Chopin or Bach. However, there are many famous composers, the question is a little vague. I would say the four most famous of all baroque, classical or romantic composers are Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin. The fifth could be argued however. The four I've mentioned put out many popular works- the most popular are as follows- Bach- Brandenburg Concerti, Fugues and other various organ works Mozart- Concerto for Clarinet, Symphony #40 "Jupiter", "The Magic Flute", "The Marriage of Figaro", Eline Klein Nautsmek (original German transcription spelling), and works for solo piano (such as the famous "Turkish March") Beethoven- Piano Sonatas such as "Moonlight", "Pathetique" and "Appassionata", the five piano concerti (especially the fifth, nicknamed "Emperor"), his Violin Concerto, his nine symphonys (particularly his 5th, 6th and 9th), and other various works. Chopin- Piano Concerti, Scherzos, Impromptus, Etudes, Nocturnes and Waltzs.

He is most known for his Nocturnes, which is also his most prized possession. This is because Chopin realised that his Nocturnes are the pieces that allows him to dwell in his imagination and are the most romantic of all his pieces.
