Sorry, Rich, you're not going to get away with that. In diversity of styles,
the 19th century is second only to our own. let's see...

Full-fledged and late Beethoven
Chopin
liszt - purveyor of the the sublime and the ridiculous (alas, mostly the
        latter)
Wagner - a major step in the exhaustion of the tonal system (at least as it
         was known then - and now in most schools)
Brahms - much misunderstood then and now. Basically just a guy who loved to
         write music. It shows.
Verdi - Spare me - except for "otello" and "Falstaff". If you haven't heard
        these, you don't know Verdi.
mahler, R. Strauss, Debussy, etc. - Their best work was in the 20th century,
                                    so I guess we can leave them out - or
                                    did the 20th century begin in 1914?
                                    oops, Debussy just became a 19th century
                                    composer!

Hardly a complete list. Just what do you mean by this "19th century" music?
