Mozart was a court monkey. Beethoven was a constrained artist. Mozart studied profusely under Haydn, and it shows to a RIDICULOUS amount. Beethoven composed for the sake of composing, and what made him popular is his exceptional use of STANDARD convention. He introduced nothing new, and after hearing revolutionaries who expounded upon the "basics" that these men perfected, going back undoubtedly has its limitations.

It isn't the notes that gives genius musicians their genius. It is their minds. It is not the ink on the paper or the words that makes Whitman a poetic genius, its his MIND. These men had great minds, but fall FAR short of "untouchable genius."



LOL???? This will be among the most ridiculous comments posted on head-fi. And that's quite a feat.
