Are you Beethoven or Mozart?


"Beethoven music is life itself" Albert Einstein

I have to say I am more Beethoven than Mozart.  I turn pain and suffering into beauty and find beauty in pain and suffering :-)

Mozart.  I concur completely with Nicolas Slonimsky who, in his biographical dictionary of musicians, describes Mozart as the "supreme genius of music whose works in every genre are unsurpassed in lyric beauty, rhythmic variety, and effortless melodic invention."
I love Beethoven, bit Mozart is my guy.  It is all a matter of taste, just like in the middle 60’s, were you a Beatles guy or Stones.

No right answer, just good music from both sides in each case.
I have to say Beethoven if I were picking between Mozart and Beethoven. his music is more dramatic and I finish listening with the feeling that there was not a single superfluous note in the work. But I do have to say that Bach in my mind beats the two of them.
Bach. The most genius. The most german but the most universal. Mozart and Beethoven were really lucky because if they  would have known the whole major music of Bach, it would be hard to continue their style. Bach is the pride of Germany but the pride of whole universe
