If Beethoven had been killed in a plane crash at the age of 22, it would have changed the history of music and of aviation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
Beethoven suppressed everything, his personal life disappeared until he was locked inside. That is a figure quite extreme.
It is sobering to consider that when Mozart was my age he had already been dead for a year.
Beethoven had a great look. It was very much about the drama of appearance.
It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.
If Beethoven and Bach hooked up with Mozart and made a band, they could be a distant runner up to The D.
Composers in the old days used to keep strictly to the base of the theme, as their real subject. Beethoven varies the melody, harmony and rhythms so beautifully.
Classical music requires an immense amount of concentration, and I don't know if I would've been that committed to that particular life.
I suppose, counting back, if the Beatles had been influenced by music in the same length of time ago - you'd have to put that into better English for me, thank you - they would have been like a banjo orchestra. They would have been doing show tunes.
If Mozart were around now he would write a killer rock song.
