Beethoven is easily the greatest composer of all time no question.
While others are enjoyable to listen to, Beethoven pieces are the most emotional and hit the hardest.
Let us not forget he was totally deaf by 44 and was having hearing difficulties prior to that and yet, he created timeless masterpieces! how crazy is that?

Here a little funny trivia:
Ludwig Van Beethoven would often travel to Austria. Once he tried to pass through my hometown Wiener Neustadt, however the people believed at first that he was some homeless person and refused to let him in and later even arrested him, believing he was a beggar.
We later named the alley (which still exists to this very day) where he was arrested after him. =)

One of my teachers once said "Mozart is the face of classical music, but Beethoven is the sound of classical music". Most people, when asked to name a classical composer, will say Mozart, but when asked for a tune will hum or whistle Beethoven.
Not much of a Mozart fan myself, but he deserves to be in the top three. I'd put Beethoven in number 1: Bach "formalised" music and perfected most styles and techniques of his time, but brought not much new to music; Mozart's livelihood depended on his music being popular, yet he contributed significantly to technique; Beethoven created new sounds and structures throughout his career, and was instrumental in the evolution of the modern piano's sound, power and depth because the pianos of his time couldn't deliver what he sought. He was one of the first to express himself through his compositions rather than producing tunes that would be popular with the masses - and became massively popular for it.

You've got Beethoven, Bach, and Chopin. However, your Liszt is still very lacking.
