"Mozart vs. Beethoven" Vienna Travelogue by Airpunk
Vienna Travel Guide: 7,173 reviews and 17,491 photos
It is a metter of taste, but in my opinion Beethoven was the greatest composer of classical music. While Mozart left numerous pieces of music, Beethoven composed comparatively few pieces and still made it onto the Olymp of music history. Beethoven's works includes some of the most touching pieces in music history, just think of his 9th Symphony with the "Ode to the Joy" - which he composed when he was already deaf. Although Mozart and Beethoven both worked at the court of Vienna, it is Mozart who is honoured as the great musician in the city. Mozart was born in Salzburg, Beethoven in Bonn (Germany) - is that the reason? Or did Mozart just have the more glamorous life, while Beethoven died as an ill old man? I don't want to start a discussion on classical music, but make you aware that there were other great musicians who are part of Vienna's history.
