Of
all the classical composers, i like best the works of Ludwig Van Beethoven.
Frequently compared against Mozart and Bach, he is probably, in my opinion,
the greatest classical composer ever born. In his fifty six years, he wrote
nine symphonies, five piano concertos, thirty two piano sonatas, seventeen
string quartets, one opera and one violin concerto. Not so much compared
to other musicians and composers but his works are regarded as the best
of their kind. Five of his nine symphonies (in which his Ninth is considered
the greatest symphony) are among the ten greatest in history, his Hammerklavier
as the greatest piano sonata, and his "Missa Solemnis" as one of the three
greatest masses.
