Beethoven - The Greatest Composer Documentary 

Love your content guys! Suggestion: Mozart

Was it that at one time he was suffering from std sextually transmitted deseise sphyllis almost deaf

No chance of a profile on Tchaikovsky? No! Not allowed!

@@hardwired548 True! Sad, sad world we now live in.

The speaker rightly said that SOME People think he was the greatest. But when we talk about Bach EVERYONE sais hé was and stil is the greatest composer.

Congratulations; that means Beethoven is with you. The third movement of the ninth makes me think that Beethoven’s music is the voice of God.

It is an absolute spirit fulfilling masterpiece ❤

The capacity of the compact disc (75 minutes)was based on fitting the entire 9th symphony .

@@user-uj5yo8tx9c I feel like that about LVB’s symphony, like it’s a conduit of God’s divinity to us. Then the Gloria from his Missa Solemnis sounds like the inside heaven

I have to be up to the 9th. It takes an emotional toll on me. Need to be in the right state of mind and have no distractions when plan on listening to it - like I have to give so much of myself to it. But man is it worth it! Excess is best! Insanity is good! (Sorry for the crazy end to my first paragraph. End of last movement of the 9th sends me into manic frenzy.)

Bach Beethoven Mozart [ in alphabetical order ]

His music span the course of over 10,000 years from the distance past to the distance future

I always thought Johann Hummel was under rated. He was a contemporary of Beethoven. However, Beethoven gets my vote for the greatest composer of all time. But I like Bach and Mozart, too.

I dislike such general evaluations

Tchaikovsky was one of the greatest of all time. Only that's just been "cancelled" today.

@@jonspencer8852 I actually like Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. What on earth 🌏 has made him cancelled today? Not enough swans 🦢 on the lake?

So true, so true.

Well in most people's mind it was Bach who was even greater than Beethoven. Beethoven is only more famous just like Mozart

I'm for Bach.

Bach is by far a *more skilled* composer than Beethoven, tho I admit I personally enjoy Beethoven's works more.

@@patrickhauser588 beethoven opened music to a new world bach was only born earlier so people were inspired by him beethoven changed music like no other bach was more skilled but beethoven is more enjoyable

@@billtheblackshrekblackshre8280 no i wouldn't say so. Bach is more influential, more skilled. Why he should be considered as the greatest. But his music is also lighter and godlier. Beethoven is heavier, although i still love ir.

Some people always need muzak. Really, Beethoven as background music.

Bach and Beethoven are the two biggest icons in western music history. Bach is the Old Testament whereas Beethoven is the New Testament.

as walter white would say...."you god damn right"

hopefully he does kanye next

Please do more like Mozart Wagner Bruckner mendelson Haydn Bach Rachmaninov Liszt And emperor Franz Joseph of Austria 🇦🇹 Hungary 🇭🇺

​@@austinzeagler2460Kanye is not dead yet.😂

Pfft poser is right, I read somewhere that guy could even hear. "Musician"

Compose yourself sir. You’re embarrassing us all.

I always thought that was Franz Liszt, but not sure of course.

Whoever did that, Bee or Liszt (like the reply says), that is totally cool.

I think that's a very true statement. Who's the greatest of all time? Who cares and who can judge? Let's appreciate them all and thank God for their wonderful gifts.

Fur Elise, Sy#5

@@Kruppt808 A good one indeed

Honestly not one of his greatest. His last 7 sonatas are untouchable. Op 57,90,101,106,109,110,111. Find some time one day, plug in your headphones and enjoy being reborn on this planet. The late quartets have the same effect.

@@LiszteninLudwig Will do, thanks!

He was the greatest REVOLUTIONARY in music development of all time. Breaking all strict rules and leading the way to a new musical age called Romantic Period.

Anthony sure there WERE other genius composers Mozart,Liszt, Chopin, Rossini to name some but none of these had the sheer astonishing creativity ,depth, energy and variety that Beethoven had,that is the reason has is absolutely the Greatest composer of all time.

My favorite composer, Beethoven second.

Loved listening to this Documentary!! ....Very engrossing & informative.... Beethoven continued to compose even after becoming deaf.... My Mom was a piano teacher, & I played some Beethoven..... Yes, we need more of these... Thanks for posting this🙏🙂

Beethoven.....then everybody else.

Beethoven is the greatest influencing composer of all-time.

Beethoven and Mozart are only a little bit more famous, but Bach is certainly more of a genius than any musician in history

He indeed is!

You know, Mozart died at age 35. Bach lived twice as long....the comparison for greatness would be more fair if you only compared the first 35 years of Bach's music to the entire output of Mozart. The same goes for Beethove to Mozart or Hayden to Mozart. Hayden considered Mozart to be the finest musician known to him including those that lived in earlier time (Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Monteverdi, Palestina etc, etc).......apples to apples

I love them all. They each have their own "style". It's great that they are not all the same, just as modern musicians/ composers are all different. More styles of music for us to enjoy. From a singer/ musician.

Bach humbug!

@@trikyy7238 Bach would certainly be in the top five.....

You’re in no position to be speaking in absolutes like that 🤡 If you asked me who my favorite composer was when I was between the ages of 16-21ish-I’d have said Beethoven. But the reality is that these different composers have qualities about them that can be found nowhere else. Mozart has a quality Beethoven never touched. If I had to limit that quality to a word, it would be “Divine”. Beethoven was more of a warrior of composition. It didn’t come as effortlessly to him-and he composed *MUCH* less work than some of his predecessors. Mozart is more of a “Krishna” of composition: Playful, sweet, seemingly effortless, heals the heart and mind. Beethoven is more of a “Gautuma Siddhartha”: Tempestuous, over-achieving but never satisfied, always intense, continuously *seeking* the divine but never quite touching it. Beethoven was a seeker-Mozart was the quality Beethoven was “seeking”. Mozart was a seeker. That quality just came from him like the fragrance of a flower. And even though I now say Mozart is my favorite-there would be no Mozart or Beethoven without Bach. Don’t speak in goofy absolutes like that.

@@GourSmith Beethoven is the greatest of them all.

@@davidsigler9690 He’s not the greatest at anything … He’s not the greatest melodist, not the greatest contrapuntist. There’s no one categoric you can pin him as being the best. He himself admitted he never wrote a great fugue despite trying his whole life. He’s definitely the most triumphant and victorious composer … But not the greatest composer. If it weren’t for Bach and Mozart-there would quite literally be no Beethoven. I don’t like to speak in terms of “favorites”, but if I had to, I’d say Beethoven is my second favorite composer-but not the greatest 😂

Beethoven was not in Vienna at the time.

@@Tolstoy111 It's the use of poetic license to tie Mozart to Beethoven - an eventual passing of the torch if you will.

I agree.

Haunting love story… one of my favourites

I love that movie. One of my all time favorites. The soundtrack is superb. It really ties his music to his emotions. Gary Oldman is wonderful as Beethoven.

World explain it!

His music become greater and greater as his hearing is getting weaker and weaker.

The most unbelievable is, that "Missa Solemnis" was written by a totally deaf man. It contains church tonality here and there. Beethoven used a clear D major to wipe away the sombriety of dorian. He has managed a large, complex inner sound-picture - and must have had an IQ of 140.... at least!

Scriabin is a little known to music amateur.
