Poll of the Day > Yaknow... not a fan of Beethoven

(+) Yeah! (+)

I mean, I like Bach and Debussy and the other Bach...

But Beethoven just doesn't do anything for me

Thought this was going to be about the dog, kinda disappointed.

I'm not his biggest fan either, but he's got some classics. Gotta love the Moonlight Sonata.

The 3rd movement, certainly. But honestly, not THAT big into the first two movements. They' ok tho, don't dislike them

Random asides:

while playing Exile 1 over and over, I listened to Beethoven's 9th Symphony over and over since the game had very little sound

Moonlight Sonata 1st movement is one of the only things I can play on the piano

That brings me back... when playing Blades of Exile (but mostly Castle of the Winds) I had a video game compilation MIDI from vgmusic that I'd listen to.

I don't enjoy classical music as I find it just too boring. At best, it's background noise (like at restaurant)

You don't like Beethoven? You don't know what you're missing. Overtures like that get my... juices flowing. So powerful. But after his openings, to be honest, he does tend to get a little fucking boring.

What about his 9th symphony?

What do you think about Chopin? He's the best classical composer IMO.

Chopin is kinda like, umm, I haven't heard enough to make any broad statements.

I love Nocturne, of course.

ehh... due to health issues I had a little nap, and when I got back the page was broken.

Apparently GFAQs changed some things...

I'll get to them now

k np, you don't *have* to, just that if you definitely find nothing of interest there that would be interesting. I think that Beethoven has a kind of extremely emotional personality, and he makes very emotional music. I can relate to having extreme emotions so relate to his music a lot, so maybe someone with weak or no emotions would get nothing out of it. (not a dis just an interesting theory).

(and if nothing else, at least listen to 9th symphony 4th movement)

Ohyea, the 4th movement- definitely a highlight even though the rest of the song isn't that great.

Loved the movie when I was a kid
