Not sure that I can agree with his generalities. I
think it was a useful comparison--and for sure the two guys were
quite different, but me, I'd say that Mozart, in his best piano
pieces, writes to a situation or theme and in doing so gets at
profound and subtle emotional mixes, and Beethoven is more of a
purist in that he writes the piece to exercise an emotion or
emotions serially, rather than in concurrent blends of emotions.

Overall I prefer Beethoven for piano works, but
Mozart's Piano Concerto 21, 2nd movement, is my personal
favorite. Probably have listened to it maybe 50 times. Even own
a transcription for violin.

So who is the goat? ;)

Just as meaningless...

Tnx that's proper way to say it, "just as meaningless".

but what if you actually wanted to say what I tried, added weight to the statement or comparison? If it is not "more meaningless" is it ok to use "less meaningful"?


Sometimes saying "just as meaningless" doesn't seem strong enough.

Two issues:
There's nothing wrong or incorrect in your syntax.
What I did (and should have done a smiley) is that your
phraseology meant that the comparison between
Mozart/Beethoven/Bach is has LESS meaning than the normal banter
on RST. I was suggesting that the meaningless is identical: both
the comparison of composers and the comparison of tennis players
are equally meaningless.
Minor, minor nuance.
Second issue:
Your recent posts that contain replies are now
EASY to read again! They have line breaks and are not all run
together.

What did you do? I *REALLY* appreciate it!

I did nothing it's one of your sigs that has the thing we've discussed making reading difficult. I just said noting to you and left it in reply I guess it solves quoting for you?




Yeah ok but I actually meant what I said.

Tennis discussions can have meaning and sense. E.g. discussing importance of e.g. Olympics title in modern setting is rather interesting stuff?

In tennis, it's a legit question why have Olympics become so important?


Meanwhile jdiscussing "who's the greatest composer" from 300 or 200 years aho doesn't really make much sense.

We all know it's about "I like this guy's music better", sometimes it's even not about music, it's what the guy stands for or represents so someone likes the image or projected image or whatever.

Beethoven.

Let's ask AI.



1. Mozart - 5.77 hours per year
(202 hours in 35 years)

2. Haydn - 4.42 hours per year
(340 hours in 77 years)

3. Bach - 2.69 hours per year
(165 hours in 65 years)

4. Beethoven - 2.41 hours per year
(135 hours in 56 years)





To put Beethoven above Mozart, that's like putting Borg over Nadal on clay imo.


Beethoven has lesser output both in absolute (135 vs 202 hours) and in relative terms (2.41 vs 5.77 hours per year) so to "make them comparable" you'd have to argue Beethoven is from 150% to even 240% of Mozart in sheer quality.

So to make them merely "even" you'd have to argue Beethoven's works are are *twice as good* compared to Mozart's, and that would have to be *on average*.


You'd have to argue each of Borg's FO win is as impressive as 2 Nadal's.



That's the most ludicrous suggestion one could ever make since no one comes even remotely close to Mozart (Nadal on clay) let alone that someone would be "twice as good".



Now let's argue. ;)




But before that, listen all three movements not just your beloved second...
