Beethoven's Grosse Fugue is the biggest inspiration of Fugue I have (and fugue is my favorite compositional technique^^). This piece has changed my whole conception of fugue! Also, Bach solo violin sonates and partites are among the best influence in writting for solo strings. I wish some day I could write for solo violin with the same property he did, but now in XXI century =D For voice, I'd name Victorias "O magnum mysterium", and for piano solo, many works from Ravel, principally his Le Tombeau de Couperin. Rachmaninoff's prelude in G#m, Op. 32, is a great model for preludes, as well as some from Scriabin. Still about fugue (I'll finish, I swear), I HAVE to mention Cesar Frank's Preludio, chorale and Fugue in Bm. A WONDERFUL work, to which I've never seen any other similar. Briefly, I'd also put in the list Batók and Villa-lobos (mainly due to his fugues).

It'd be nice to have a "versatile composer" category, as a composer who writes in a variety of "styles", I mean, for example: An impressionist sonata, a whole ballet, solo violin pieces in baroque style, classical marchs, fugues in folk themes, electronic music, a secular cantata, etc... This is quite interesting, as many composers stick to a sigle style, with the same "forms". The composer that goes further in many styles, periods, forms, instrumentation... this one would be a strong candidate to this category^^

Coda music, creator of Finale, has made a free iPad app, called SongBook, that can playback Finale music files. So you are in a tough competition. yours can create music, so there is a slight benefit. But as long as I can only use a treble staff with a rather limited range, it would be of no use to me, and not worth $5,99. Internet services like noteflight or scorio offer more than you do, and for free (with paid pro options)
