Violet Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Moonlight Sonata ftwย THIS. I like his Pathรฉique Sonata, too.ย Honestly, I don't care much for Classical era composers in general. Composers like Mozart and Haydn generally stayed with the times. Beethoven strayed from all that. This is why some people (and I agree) dub him the father of the Romantic Era, which is much more to my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueberrySwing Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Besides the fact that I feel obligated to vote for Beethoven because he was from my hometown, I also prefer his music. Easy decision for me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricardo Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Mozart was a genius, perhaps the greatest musical genius of all time. His skill and hability to create symphonies out of nowhere have n't been topped yet. However, general classical era composers were kind of predictable, their music could be kind of accesible in some ways, something catchy and not complex, lack of spirituallity and emotion, just like if it was a soundtrack or, like most of the time, fill up music for operas. Of course Mozart's requiem and several other works are heavenly. But Beethoven's music is superior in my opinion, in the way that it is something fresh, it moves you, the music can change your mood and transport you to other place, Mozart too, but LV's music had a higher spirituality and emotion, he put heart and effort in his compositions, and that's what's music is about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TickingClock Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Beethoven. ย Mozart was a genius but so was Beethoven. I always loved Beethoven for the power in his music and the huge differences he put in almost every single piece. He started a revolution in classical music and he wasn't really taken seriously then with the new things he came up with. Sure, Mozart died way too early but Beethoven lost his hearing and what worse could happen to a musician / composer? I guess both would have prefered death over deafness. Some people maybe thought he was insane because he kept saying he was a gift of God but if there's a God, definetely both men were gifts from him. ย I love Beethoven and don't really like Mozart so much.

neonhorn22 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I voted Beethoven. His symphonies are much more fun for horns. I'm not really that big a fan of Mozart, but I certainly do appreciate his work....Beethoven is more my style, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitta Rensolo Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Beethoven. Most definitely. He didn't follow all these classical rules and my taste prefers his music in general...aaand he grew up in the town I live in...:blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
