List of composers who studied law

The following is a list of composers who studied law. Brett G. Scharffs notes that "perhaps it is more than a coincidence that a striking number of musicologists, composers, and theorists have also been lawyers, including Handel, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Bartok, Sibelius and Schenker."
