Out of all of them, I find Mozart made the least amount of things that I listen to. But he made the Requiem mass which I rank above most music. It all happened in the span of about a hundred years.
Over the following century people played Beethoven on many instruments, on many drugs. If any of them was a drunk guitarist, believe me he created nightly every type of music that blacks take credit for. And there were many of that man all over the world trying to play Beethoven drunk on a guitar. Jazz, heavy metal, you name it. It existed long before the Civil War
Correct, and Bach admired both Vivaldi and Handel. He made two attempts to meet Handel in his lifetime, but events never allowed it to happen. It would have been an incredible meeting of minds.
Totally with you on that account. I like to think he's in paradise amusing himself by thinking about people futilely trying to play his work as well as he could. He had a mastery of style and technique no one ever matched. It's a shame the fugue went out of style shortly after his death, but it was inevitable because it's so complex, too few people can truly understand it. His counterpoint was extremely accessible, making his "easier" works, like the Brandenburg Concerti, very pleasant and memorable.
