Classical music

Béla Bartók

Yes!! Bartók is amazing. He's probably my favorite composer right after J.S. Bach.

I'm a huge novice when it comes to classical music, but I was wondering about atonal classical music. I listened to a little Schoenberg and Berg and liked both of them. Any recommendations as to what I should listen to from them or any other atonal classical?

If you like atonal music, you might also be interested in composers who experiment with microtonality/micropolyphony. György Ligeti, for instance.

yes Ligeti is cool... also try Penderecki.
 
Someone on here a while ago recommended Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No. 3 a while back, and it's just an amazing piece of music. Definitely one of the best classical compositions I've ever heard.
