Are you Beethoven or Mozart?


"Beethoven music is life itself" Albert Einstein

I have to say I am more Beethoven than Mozart.  I turn pain and suffering into beauty and find beauty in pain and suffering :-)

Easily Mozart  ,  he is the most balanced of all .After LvB  one says , Wow , that was great .
After Mozart you say that could be no other way .
Of course Bach is best , better than all the  rest .
As others have said , Haydn is right up there too.
I personally feel Mozart is the master of all.  He is predictable which makes it more relaxing.  
LVB, esp. string quartets and piano sonatas. The Waldstein sonata is close to perfection.
I enjoy where Mozart sounds closer to LVB—like his string trio Divertimento K.563 or the Adagio for piano or even a few of his “Haydn” quartets. When Mozart gets dark is when you see his true genius.
Leonard Bernstein once said in Beethoven music, every note is a right note. No second guessing. List, on the other hands, ahem ... but they sure sound good with a sip of wine.
