For me it all comes back to Bach.

@carolinehugz, @Hgingat Haha, it very well may be. He was the original baroque badass.

@StrawberryMilkshake I like the violin Sonata, Op 47, the “Kreutzer” 😊

@Manfredthemanic Wonderful music but his life was quite tragic ❤️
Manfredthemanic · 16-17, M
Yes, it was sad, Fluffy, mostly what happened to him as a kid. @Fluffybull

@PhoenixPhail You can break it down further, but among the commercial genres, it’s classical (as opposed to rock, country, jazz, etc.)

@akindheart Perhaps, like several he died a poor man, and they could not afford more?? I know many artists and composers died poor and only achieved true fame after death...and thus no fortune. I have been to Germany and Austria but never these graves (only the one in Paris with many famous people).

@bijouxbroussard Stunning. I can't imagine having this kind of genius. Makes me feel very humble.
bijouxbroussard · F
@Docdon23 So do I, for the same reason ! 😊
LeopoldBloom · M
That’s an easy one. Beethoven has no equal. But for living composers, I’d say Arvo Pärt.
PhoenixPhail · M
I've always LOVED Beethoven.
But I think I'll have to go with Mozart.

@StrawberryMilkshake no...that was his lithuanian cousin - very few people have heard of him
and his family disowned him after the name change :)

@PhoenixPhail Glad you like it! Did you know he was also a leading astronomer of the 1700's and discovered Uranus? He first thought it was a comet. He was like the Brian May (Queen) of his time.

I go through fads, cannot decide--love Beethoven, also Scriabin, Chopin, Tchaikowsky, Greig, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Balakirev, Lizst...and cesar Franck;s sonata for violin and piano is sensational (but he wrote little else of merit)

I like Kurt Weill.

I always thought of Chopin by the piano.
