Re: Yeah i think im done with beethoven

I don’t know… i mean it’s difficult for me to say that I like anything
by ravel or Debussy or Schumann or Haydn or the second Viennese school
more than Beethoven 9 movement 3 - I dont - but… there is just very
little piano music - music in general - of Beethoven that I’d really
want to play… and the stuff I’d like to play often has parts in it I
extremely dislike — and this doesn’t happen so much with Bach, Mozart,
Schubert or Brahms… and also in some ways maybe the second Viennese
school
And if I were a composer today… I wouldn’t really look into Beethoven
for inspiration… he’s interesting for me in what not to do (honestly the
way Furtwängler plays B5 mov4 — I was reminded of hitlers antics in his
speeches — completely devoid of reflection, pompous self-glorification
etc — so manic, so delusional). Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Brahms and the
second Viennese school is much more interesting to me - which is also
why I listen to them more…
