08/18/1999: Nice rebuttle, Groucho

Posted By: Jack-Em-Up_JACKAL


You are to be further commended for your musical knowledge.

Now, my whole contention was you rating Mozart over Beethoven (as a lot, maybe most, people do). About being prolific, if quantity is what earns you top billing, then Prince beats out the Beatles or Led Zeppelin as the best rocker ever. I prefer quality. I just rated Mozart below Liszt and Chopin to reflect my own personal bias. If your list had gone Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc., I would have said "right on brother! But no Liszt or Chopin?"

The one thing that's inaccurate in your rebuttle is calling Chopin flashy. That's a dead-on description of Liszt, but not Chopin. Not at all.

Yeah, I knew that thing about Liszt's daughter and Wagner.

I'm going to go listen to Un Suspiro to soothe my savage heart. Then I'll listen to Nookie!

Later!
