Who does Sup Forums think is the greatest man who ever lived? Obviously Beethoven is the clear frontrunner. Inb4 "HURR DURR HITLER." Pls, Hitler got BTFO by Russia. No losers allowed in this thread. Only true alphas will be permitted.

Shiiiiiiiiit, I envy you. Who's conducting?
I like the first half of the 1st movement. The 2nd and 3rd movements are god-tier. I'd walk out on the 4th movement.

Chopin or Rachmaninoff can beat him any day.
Either way, I'd go with Socrates.

Alexander the Great is the absolute expression of leadership and greatness, everyone else is under him.
Jesus.
Bach>Beethoven
Conductor is a Swede named Herbert Blomstedt. New York Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert is on my birthday which sounds like a god-tier birthday to me except im turning 30 kill me pls

You can't honestly say this is boring:

>Conductor is a Swede named Herbert Blomstedt.
Never heard of him, but I suspect he has picked an all-Somali orchestra.
>im turing 30

Benjamin Franklin.
He is the epitome of success, and everyone should strive to be like him.

Damn right

Chopin's great, but he's second to Schubert for me when writing for the piano.

Thanks for pulling out of your dingo long enough to leave a comment lmao
>I can and I do.
Cool opinion, Hans. You're just jealous of the Poles as usual.
Why can't we just be friends?
>t. not interested in classical music
who dis
>Why can't we just be friends?
Because Germans have always had something against Poles. Either way, no need to take the internet seriously.
>Because Germans have always had something against Poles.
Just because the Poles were the butter in a Nazi/Soviet rape sandwich doesn't mean we don't like Poland. I mean, we gave them our best clay in a gesture of admiration and friendship, for crying out loud.
Goethe was pretty legit, case could be made he was the smartest man to ever live
>created some pretty music
Post people with actual influence please
I'd say George Washington
First one I don't find very interesting... the second one is pretty good. Actually reminds me a lot of Chopin.
My two fav Chopin pieces:
Fantasie Impromptu youtube.com
The Heroic Polonaise
youtube.com
However the undisputed greatest pianist who ever lived was obviously the Hungarian Maestro Franz Liszt
Also, Martha Argerich used to be a qt! A QT
youtube.com
Unfortunately she looks like a witch now.
>However the undisputed greatest pianist who ever lived was obviously the Hungarian Maestro Franz Liszt
Fuck yes
>chooses a prelude to prove Chopin isn't boring.
You shoulda chose a polonaise or ballade dickhead. I'm listening to sonata no 2 right. Is actually shit is so cash
...
>Ctrl F
>No Jackson
I am so dissapointed
>The Heroic Polonaise
Goat. Fantasie impromptu is kinda meh tho. I'm learning waltz 64 op 2 atm
t. jew
>You shoulda chose a polonaise or ballade
I actually think his preludes are the most interesting. What are you gonna do about it? Send your emus after me?
Shoot, I mean I agree with the posters putting Jesus. Goethe was pretty cool but he can't compare with God' eternal grace and mercy
>Send your emus after me?
lmao
Trump
Im not meming or joking. Ive never known someone i could respect so much and see so much potential in. Hes gonna do so many great things, i can just tell
Don't underestimate them, they won a war
Also this.
>Jesus
They guy who allowed himself to get nailed to a cross an bleed out like a pig in front of a life audience?
lmao
...
based
yeah, no.
>they won a war
Yes, against the only enemies they could conceivably beat.
This kissin concert was one of the greatest piano concerts ever recorded. He concluded it with a Beethoven encore.
Liszt only composed one Sonata in his entire career and dedicated years to perfecting it, changing the ending countless times until he settled on the current ending which is now considered his greatest. You might find it boring, Brahms fell asleep when Liszt performed it for him LOL. Once you "get" it you'll be a better person for it.
No I love Liszt
Love Brahms too :^)
Jesus Christ, the Son of God
I can play that and op 64 no1 "the minute waltz" to perfection. Those two are my go-to panty-dropping pieces to play. The minute waltz is a real crowd pleaser no matter what.
>I can play that and op 64 no1 "the minute waltz" to perfection.
Vocaroo it
It's objectively Julius Caesar.
Placed his trust in deceitful politicans, didn't travel with bodyguards, got btfo on the steps of the senate. Greatest man?
I see it as:
Brave enough to place his trust in liars and backstabbers (literally), and brave enough to not travel with bodyguards despite being the most powerful on Earth at the time.
And his death is extremely dramatic. You can't get any better than that.
Honestly it was a glorious death. Plus he shagged Cleopatra.
Shit, yeah that too. Not everyone can say they've fucked what is supposed to be the most attractive woman on the planet.
For some reason I keep thinking it was Alexander the Great who fucked her, but then I remember that he's her brother.
Wait a minute what.
I totally fucked up my Cleopatra's there. There's two of them? What the fuck.
Alexander is probably up there for coolest to ever lived. Had an entire army that loved him to death
...
Leonardo da Vinci is probably the greatest man ever lived.
Considered father of architecture, paleontology, and believed to be one of the greatest painters of all time.
He also achieved amazing results in invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history that we can see still today.
Who dis?
Way too few people realize how important this man was in keeping Europe free of Islam. I almost never see him mentioned on Sup Forums and I think he deserves hero status here.
Jesus fuck your knowledge of history is shit.
Cleopatra was described as "yeah she's alright looking I guess" as in what you say about your girlfriend's friends when she asks you about them even if there ugly as fuck. She wasn't anything special physically but she was very charming, and that's why men feel in love with her. She spoke multiple languages fluently and was very intelligent and witty.
Also in no way was she Alexander the greats sister. They lived 300 years apart. Cleopatra was a descendant of Ptolemy which made her ethnically Greek though.
Brb gonna go get quotes.
Pulled straight from wikipedia.
Yeah, I realized my mistake and made note of it . I confused the two Cleopatra's with each other.
Unfortunately for me, I had to study Aboriginal history instead of the Roman Empire in high school.

Of course burger bro. Do you want me to type it in Italian?
Julius Caesar.
Definitely in the running for the smartest. It gets really crazy when you start reading in depth about him and his studies, he had a natural connection to the world that seems almost hard to explain. It's not that he was just smart, It's like he could 'see' patterns and symbols in nature that others couldn't. Definitely one of the most interesting people that has ever lived.
Shit. I was listening this.

If Newton hasnt ever lived someone would finally find those pyshical laws But without Beethoven there would be no 5th Symphony nor those sonatas.

Bane?
Great musician but personaly he was an angry cunt
It's Napoleon.
he is the savior of white race.
Charles "The Hammer." Battle of Tours. This man is a legend and I believe Charlemagne's grandfather.
Napoléon

>greatest man
Nice try, but the Bogs think as a single entity, their minds are linked through cosmological phenomena.
Literally who?
Bach probably more important than Ludwig. LVB's symphonies are the calling card of Western civ.
One could probably make an argument for Debussy also, given the new direction he took music.
who are these people? quick rundown.
The best, better than the rest
>Obviously Beethoven is the clear frontrunner
Beethoven? He isn't even the clear frontrunner for best composer who ever lived. And outside of music his contributions were negligible.
