Eagle Eye Challenge #8 - Decomposing Composers

Eagle Eye Quiz #8 - Decomposing Composers
Each of these medical conditions contains the name of a composer of classical music hidden in order within the letters.
The length of the hidden composer is in brackets.
NB: Answers may be more than one word. Most are dead, hence the title, but a small number may still be living. Before you ask, these are all genuine medical conditions, even 17 and 35.
ERRATA: Question 31 has the 7th and 8th letters of the answer transposed (my mistake). Also, two of the questions have the same answer.
Example Question:
| Question | Answer Length | |

| 0 | Hypokalemic alkalosis with hypercalcinuria | (10) |
Answer: "PALESTRINA" (HyPokALEmic alkaloSis wiTh hypeRcalcINuriA)
All you have to do is name the hidden composer in each medical condition.
