I think Ludwig is overrated (not Ludwig Spohr, the other guy..)

I like the 6th, 7th and 8th symphonies, and the rest of it is just too damn static -- too much vertical harmony and not enough horizontal melody.

So you have company. I don't think the 9th Symphony is all that Joyful in the first place, and it's TOO DAMN LONG!!!!

Oh well they called Schubert's Ninth, the "Great" C Major Symphony, the "Endless" C Major symphony. So Beethoven wasn't the only one with diarrhea of the pen on his 9th try!!

:boohoo: <----need to put it down so I don't wear out my body from playing those %$#@! long spieces!!!

It was OK for the wee lad on the Peanut's Newspaper Cartoon, eh? But many of us grew up and our taste changed.
