What do you thing about - after I saw the film, and really started in on Holmes, my mental soundtrack pretty quickly switched over to the Romantic composers: Mendelssohn, Grieg, Dvorak. The latter two were active composers during or just before the canon era; Mendelssohn predates Holmes a bit, and he was all in with Goethe, who I believe was pretty sympathetic to queerness.

I was attracted to the wildness and passion of the Romantic school. I feel like it really gets at our slasher's idea of tremendous emotion buried beneath Holmes' urbane exterior.
