The Five - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Five_(composers)

And their direct pupils.

Between them they cover pretty much every sound I like. Especially that fairy tale vibe that was popular in the late 19th/early 20th century Russia.

I have always had a bit of a fascination with Hindemith, I've found his stuff fascinating, with such heavy dissonance yet never sounding excessively so. Szymanowski has been an interest of mine as of late, though.

Borodin's ability to balance a career in chemistry and in music has been quite inspirational for me as a composer.

Janáček. I like modern composers that found their own tonal language that is still somehow rooted in tonality. Frank Martin is another example, I absolutely love his music.

Hans Rott. Sadly he went completely mad pretty early on and died young in a mental institution.

Mahler was Rott's roommate as a student in Vienna for a while, and Mahler kind of tried to copy and develop his style further. Some say he was a hoax; that Mahler made him up. But Rott's genius was far above Mahler's level. I simply can't believe that Mahler would ascribe his best works to someone else.
