It wouldn’t have been fun to let them in from the beginning, you know? They would’ve swept away all of the competition without the slightest question, and where’s the challenge in that? But then also, it wouldn’t really be a solid Composer Cagematch! without them, would it? Far better, then, to let the others fight it out and then bring in the big guns in the end.
And that’s what we’re going to do. So it is with great pride and pleasure that I say that in this corner, I can certainly believe it! It’s
PIOTR! ILYICH! TCHAAAAAAAAAIKOOOOOOOOOOVSKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
And in this corner, remind him to give the horns something to play! It’s
WOLFGANG! AMADEUS! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART
But wait, there’s more! Because over here in this other ring we just realized we also had: in this corner, I still can’t believe it! It’s
JOOOOOOOOOOOHAAAAAAAAAAAANNEEEEEEEESS BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHMS
And in this corner… tee hee… oh, this is gonna be fun…
LUUUUUUUUDWIIIIIIIIIIIIG VAAAAAAAAAN BEEEEEEEEEETHOOOOOOVEEEEEEEN
After this one, guys… THE FINAL FIGHT.
…I was so torn

Surprising to see Tchaikovsky being even with Mozart. Sugar plum fairy magic, I guess.
