Best Answer

Many composers in the Baroque and Classical eras wrote Preludes as the introductory piece to a suite including Buxtehude, Bruhns, J.S. Bach, Pachelbel and Beethoven.

In the Romantic era, the prelude became a stand alone piece. While generally credited to Chopin, the stand alone form of the prelude was previously used by both Hummel and Kessler, the latter having dedicated his preludes to Chopin. Other 19th and 20th century composers with extensive use of the prelude include Scriabin, Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff and several others. 21st century composer Lera Auerbach has also composed 3 sets of preludes.

Which composers were born in Australia?

Well, to be brutally honest, there aren't any famous composers, i.e. any composers that wrote anything well-known, from Australia. None of the composers that have their own category on WikiAnswers are Australian, and there are so many Australian composers I couldn't possibly give you a list of all of them.
