The dialectic.. the competition between these two was sublime.

>chopin
nigga, my gran came up will lullabies on the fly that matched this queer.

>>11883084
being this contrarian is just gay

If youre going to one up Bach for his period Handel is the only option. Haydn is not fucking better than Mozart, and they fulfill different roles anyway, Haydn invented a bunch of musical forms or codified them, Mozart perfected a number of them

Schubert is plausibly Beethoven's equal but it's a tossup, and it leans towards Beethoven honestly.

>>11883029
>beethoven couldnt feel anything
How can one post be so wrong

I mean it's wrong for the other two as well but fucking Beethoven

>>11883094
I'm not being contrarian, these composers were simply the pop music of their time or became that, you have to dig deeper if you want actual good music
just imagine living in the current period and claiming pop like justin bieber or 6ix9ine is the pinnacle of music, or the beatles were in the past - just because the dumb masses agree on something doesn't mean it's true, especially in art

>>11883118
>these composers were simply the pop music of their time
you are triggering me intensely anon please cease and desist

Do you think Rembrandt is the 'pop music' of his medium as well?

>>11882691
I'm picking just one? Impossible.
Blake, Inio Asano, Messiaen, Dreyer.

That's just a few. This question only really applies to auteur-driven works, anyway. There are great works of art that clearly display the fruits of artistic genius, but which are developed by committee, or in a highly decentralized way.

>he rates german composers

>>11882691
Are you answering to your own question?

>>11883126
>thinking Rembrandt isn't a pop as fuck dutch pop painter

why is it that people latch on so strongly to mere opinions that society holds currently, srsly he was just a dude who was good at his craft - that's all there is

>>11883188
>being a hipster about Rembrandt

>>11883118
Folk music in Europe (before the middle part of the 19th century roughly) was much closer to pop music today, retard. Only a very small group of people were able to listen to classical music at all, much less appreciate it.

>>11882691
Miguel de Cervantes.

>>11882691
this is a literature board. please fuck off.

>>11882691
Probably Michelangelo or Shakespeare
