It looked difficult, but I guess van Gogh fits Artist 2 (but you weren't consistent with the use of first/last names). I don't know. I just randomly Googled.
I guess after a few attempts it was easy to get the rest.

This isn't a very good clue, but I guess I'll just throw it out for now.
Clue: This is a common (and huge) instrument (5 letters) (a particularly famous composer did compose somewhat extensively for it. Three composers who share the same nationality all wrote for it.
Last name of Composer 1 has 10 letters (you need to do a little bit of creative counting) wrote at least one piece for it. The genre here is a (8 letters).
Last name of Composer 2 has 7 letters, 2nd = "o." Also wrote at least one piece for it. Genre here also has 8 letters, but this is different from the genre above.
Finally Composer 3 (8 letters) actually played this instrument and there're recordings made of the composer's playing his own music on this instrument.

Ok, don't want to make it too difficult. The composer of whom I'm thinking has a last name which is 4 letters long. He is of a different nationality from the other three composers in the clue.

No. Telemann is not French, right?
Composers 1-3 are all French (don't let the Bach throw you off -- I just put that in to make the "organ" bit easier -- and yk has that part already).
What's taking you so long, yk?
By the way, grandmere, you can veto this clue and put your own clue here. It was your turn anyway.

This artist (7,7; first name beginning with B in Berlin) was a collaborator (with other artists, that is): he worked with famous brothers (last name 8), and several times with (3,8) on religious art in this country (5), primarily in this city (8).

Guessing Limbourg brothers.
Italy.
Fra Angelico.
But don't know the artist yet (need to Google).

Still looking for mystery artist.
But presumably city = Florence....
Actually I'm not sure -- could someone have collaborated with Fra Angelico and the Limbourg Brothers? (But I can't think of any other famous brothers off the top of my head.)
