I said Italy.
Some that I thought were German were Austro-Hungarian empire...not exactly Germany. Not sure if your designation of "classical" is limited to just classical period excluding Baroque or both. Still, seems there were more Italians.

The question is a bit of a trick....by quantity alone, across periods... yes, its the Italians!
If Beethoven is considered the greatest then that's one.
If the company Beethoven keeps, as in the words "the greatest set" include: Mozart, Bach, Hayden, Liszt, Chopin and Shubert...then no.
But only Bach and Beethoven were from Germany out of that list I just gave. Hayden was Croatian and others were Austrian. I believe Croatia was part of Austrio-Hungarian empire. Didn't that emcompass Germany? So it's confusing.
Just an educated guess....I am not certain.

Puccini, Paganini, and less well known: Girodano, Gabrieli, Cileao...there's quite a few more...almost 70 of 'em.

Yes, I'm being facetious.
And at the time that most of those composers lived, there was no "Germany".
The Austro-Hungarian Empire, which included much of Bavaria (SE Germany), Bohemia (Chzech and Slovakia), and modern Austria as well as most of the Balkans, was ruled by the Hapsburgs. Technically, it was "Germany".
The Prussian Empire was northern Germany, parts of Poland, etc. Ruled by the Hohenzollerns. But also technically "Germany".

Freudian slip? Doesn't that have something to do with sex.

Freud claimed everything about life could be traced back to sex.
For instance Chiefs football is about sexual frustration. :)
Moderating is part of the Oedipus complex!
Things like that.
