depends what you're looking for in your sound quality. If you want a really bright unnatural sound - no people is fine. If you want a mellower sound without unnatural echoes all over the place, having padding (ie. people) is preferable.
If you don't know much about acoustics, now is the time to either do some research or stay out of the conversation and keep your greentext and reaction images to yourself.
why did he say "empty people" and not just people though? is contempt for goyim also part of acoustics?
You probably still have no ear and musical memory, his late quartets sounds nothing like the early ones? Can't you seriously hear how complex the counterpoint is, how refined and labyrintic the form has become, and the mastery Beethoven achieved over ornamentation? Lots of things are happening in every bar, and studying his scores will show you that these compositions are almost logical, inevitable, if you know what he is doing.
Eh, he just praised Hitler in some letters (while also writing letters to Berg in which he says that Hitler is evil blablabla). Also his music was banned by Nazi plebs in 1938: at the end of the war Webern just kinda liked Hitler's character, but apart from that he was swindling between an apolitical position and an antiNazi one.
Pfitzner: that was a nazi!
Apparently Berlioz had the luck to be able to hear music at command. He mentions many times in his biography trance states in which he is able to hear fully orchestrated music in his head and jot that down immediatly. Beethoven, Schibert and Mozart could do it, Schumann was envious cause of it for his entire life, for he had to compose at the piano.
Also Berlioz was a truly dedicated (almost manic) student. Notice that he was already composing mature, fully orchestrated works 2 years after having started studying. In 6 years he had already mastered music enough to write the Symphonie Fantastique, and 4 years in he was already a finalist (even as a student he was among the best composers in France).
Basically: be a genius; naturally be able to hear music in your head; study 16 hours everyday; be bipolar, so that when you're manic you can study 18 hours.
