In the case of Ludwig - give him some bionic ears - then play them both a couple of minutes of Hendrix... some Moby ... some trance ... what would they have done with that sort of capability?
Originally posted by RochadeThe fourth movement of the "Hammerklavier" piano sonata equals anything that Bach wrote for sheer fugal inventiveness.
Johann Sebastian Bach is by far better than Beethoven. In fact he was one of his teachers.
Bach´s "Air" rules out everything. Besides he was the only known composer who could compose a fugue with six voices without preperation just starting with a theme of four tunes. (A fugue is afaik a type of music where a certain theme must be answered by all voices under certain rules and is extreeemly hard to compose.
Originally posted by mosquitorespectI am not too fond of the 9th, and especially not the last movement (it's fun to play, though). I'd go for the late string quartets. Of the symphonies, I like the 3rd and 7th best.
His ninth symphony, especially the fourth movement (presto) is utterly amazing, and the most famous.
