Haydn Op. 76 vs Beethoven Op. 18??

[DavidW]

I apparently need to make my point more clearly:  I am tired of people complaining about polls, lists and rankings and I think it's rude to attack a thread on this basis.  If members want to share their opinion on such things, start a separate thread.  There's a difference between sharing one's opinion in a constructive manner and being unnecessarily disruptive.  But, that's just my opinion. 

Well I actually did, but I put it in the diner since imo it involves more than music, and also it's not an issue with discussing music itself, but it's criticism.

The only String Quartets by Haydn I have (heard) is Op. 64. I never got that excited about them to explore more. Beethoven's String Quartets I adore.

[Todd]

I was just pointing that I didn't like this one particular issue.

True, but you also were complaining about it being a "serious problem."  That's rubbish.

[op.110]

I've never really cared for Haydn. However, I do love Beethoven's Op. 18 quartets, most especially the C minor.

[Josquin des Prez]

It was a serious problem with in the context of his argument.

[Homo Aestheticus]

Especially after Wagner. Just my opinion.

Thank you.

It is nice to meet someone who considers Wagner a greater and more compelling composer than Beethoven.



(I just wanted to chime in on that. Carry on with the original topic, folks)

Wagner's riding LvB's coattails.

Wagner's riding LvB's coattails.

Is that THE Chillean (referring to your avatar). He sits REAL low.

and let's all get real. LvB is far more superior than Wagner

Yes and yes.

Beethoven is a GIANT.

Wagner went beyond even him.

[Dr. Dread]

Well, he went longer anyway... 

[Haffner]

[Bu]

I vote Haydn because these Beethoven pieces have somehow escaped my ears (am a hard workin' man and don't have too much time to listen, shooot).

[Homo Aestheticus]

Well, he went longer anyway... 

Indeed Wagner did... and heavenly length.

[ChamberNut]

What do you call it Dave?  "Bleeding chunks of Wagner"? 

[ChamberNut]

Perhaps, I should have done a poll.....Haydn Op. 76 vs Mozart's "Haydn Quartets".  0:)

Rrrrrrrrrruns away!

Haydn's opuses 20, 33, 54  and 76 any day.

That's the best way for me to listen to him.

I can take heavy doses of Wagner at a time.  Although I usually only listen to one Act of a Wagner opera in a sitting, I listened to Siegfried in it's entirety non-stop the first time as I was so enthralled and spellbound.

That's still better than me.  I usually don't listen to opera unless I'm also watching it being performed.
