and then so on with the argument. and honestly, i've NEVER met someone like that , also, i don't dislike beethoven, i spoke in general extremes because this is the internet. i really like his sonatas (and i'm currently learning Moonlight on Piano) but in a VERY generalized sense, most people don't care about anything beethoven put out apart from Moonlight Sonata, Symphony no. 5 and no. 9 and maybe some others that i can't quite recall.

Who else glanced at the pic and thought it was that fucking picture of Blunt/Ferraro/Grimes/OPN

Ah, my apologies. The writing style was just very similar.
>most people don't care about anything beethoven put out apart from Moonlight Sonata, Symphony no. 5 and no. 9 and maybe some others that i can't quite recall.
Yes that's a big tragedy. Every single one of his symphonies and most if not all of his string quartets and sonatas are worthy additions to the western canon. But popularity =/= importance. Whether it was you or some other user, saying Beethoven is irrelevant now because he's been dead 300 years is outright silly. The fact that his 5th and 9th are so ingrained in popular culture now despite like 90% of the population not listening to more than 2 minutes of each is actually quite amazing. Though unfortunate because I really wish more people cared about the other 45/70 minutes.

Beethoven

Anybody who puts Tupac outside of last or Beethoven outside of first is a malignant tumor on music and personally responsible for all of its modern mediocrity

i feel a little bad that the beef was over miscommunication and i definitely shouldn't have spoke in such extremes when talking about classical music.

anyway, it really is a shame that people think that because he's not popular that he's bad, and the same could be said for people who think that because he's not popular he's good. i don't think his popularity has anything to do with the quality of his music, so much as the age of it. I think a good way to listen to classical pieces is as you would listen to an album. And personally, I can't see myself looking at a popular album that i've heard and like, and an orchestral album consisting of Beethoven and picking Beethoven, but that's just me, however, i won't deny his importance and influence in music nor will i try to underplay his music talent (he was literally a "Titan of Music")

Dylan > Beethoven > MJ >>>>>>> 2Pac

2Pac was a talentless hack

It's ok fampai, I'm just here to procrastinate on writing an essay. Getting into meaningless shitflinging arguments are what I'm here for.

alright, i'm glad everything is cleared up :)
