Mozart? You think Mozart can compare with lovely lovely Ludwig-Van Beethoven?! No Way! Here's why:
"Ode to Joy" of the ninth symphony of Mr. Beethoven still ranks as the most familiar song on earth. A recording of it was placed on a voyager spacecraft back in the eighties in case it ran in to any intelligent life that they might hear a representation of music on planet Earth. ...And what do we hear as our cell phones ring? "Fur Elise!" written by you-know-who!
Some composers, like Mozart, have a gift for variation in their musical pieces; but Beethoven had an entirley different style with each of his compositions, and even though Mozart could play blind-folded, Beethoven topped that when he continued to compose his most beautiful works when he lost almost all hearing. He was the best musician in history.
