Which Composers used alot of percussion instruments besides cymbals,bass drum,snare? like wood blocks, temple blocks, wind chimes etc.
I heard Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Chopin, Handel,Bach, brahms symphonies and quartets and never heard of bells, xylophone, Marimba`s, sleigh bells,wood blocks, temple blocks, wind chimes
Which composers did use them ? can you please list them
baroque composers, like the ones you listed, never used mallet instruments. Saint-Saens was the first composer to score the xylophone, he scored it for Danse macabre and later used the same part for Fossils in the Carinval of the animals. Tne composer that scored the most for marimba was Ravel in Mother Goose Suite, theres alot of marimba in those movements, as well as contra-bassoon!
