Your No. 1 Composer

[Bulldog]

Well, my No.1 is No.1, my No.2 is No.2, one of my No.3-4 is No.3 and other of my No.3-4 is No.4-8. I must say the vox populi is not as objective as it should be. It slightly underestimate Mozart and seriously underrate Chopin and Schubert.

I think that for threads like this one, "objectivity" and "should" play no part.

I am thrilled to see Haydn as high as #3! His stock value is improving every day.

But how long can this Haydn bubble last?

They just showed Amadeus on TV the other day too and I watched part of it. Great stuff!

Best to watch the original version and avoid the recent, unnecessary director's cut with extra boobies Constanze.

Well, writing like that I defined "objectivity" as the accordance with my view.

Sorry, that doesn't work, does it? ; )

It depends on who is "me". I must say I am not able to see any serious difference between objectivity and my view.

That is truly one of the most astonishing things I've read on the Internet to date.

I think your astonishment is even more astonishing as about 90% of what I've read in Internet so far was written as if it was objective but was only expression of someone views.

Ah, so you consider the Internet to be representative of All There Is, is that the tale? ; )

[mszczuj]

I rather consider Internet to be the representative of Internet. So I'm astonishing that I astonish you just saying exactly the same thing that dozens of people think and do.

From my perspective, at the little corner of the Internet where the GMG Forum exists, members seem, on average, a bit more nuanced when they indulge in the behavior you describe.  Of course, yourself excepted.

I'd have to pick Mozbachtovenrahmsaldi.     For "his" incredible straddling of baroque, classic and romantic forms.

But of course, they are. Nevertheless Karl have written "Internet" not "this little corner of the Internet". This is the reason of my astonishment - what a lucky man who knows only corners like this!

Of course, yourself excepted.

This statement is completely incomprehensible to me.

His Piano Trio-Symphony for Mandolin and Orchestra in A Minor, "The Moonlight Brandenburg" is a masterpiece

Forums are about opinions and debate, but it's very obvious when you find someone who doesn't like someone else having a different opinion and with the ability to defend it strongly lol.  When that happens they have to resort to changing the subject, making it personal etc.

Wor - I would buy that - IF the finale was in the form of a fugue.

What's wrong with the Rondo alla Turd as it is?

In the key of BM Major?
