  1. There's people I've met in music servers that have thought Beethoven isn't good at symphony/orchestra composing and can't write melodies but to them I say his symphonies are among some of the best in the entire symphonic genre! It had to be hard to judge these in the end. And while I personally don't see the 7th as the best. We all have opinions and that's what keeps the music going.

  2. I've come to the conclusion that my favorite Beethoven Symphony is the next one I will listen to.
    I listen to a different one as I take walks in a forest near my town.
    It's fitting that I listen to a deaf composer that loved nature in a forest of complete silence.
    There are no insects, no birds. Poisoned by industrial man.
    Beethoven was an angry man?
    If he came back today, he would tell us in his music.
