@pobinr Dr. David Wright argued something like 'it would be sacrilegious to say Bach was not a great composer, but where in his endless use of baroque counterpoint do we find purpose, one could say Stravinsky was a more versatile composer than Bach, Bach couldn't write operas'.
I don't agree completely, but I think, from reading this, people should respect every composer's unique style. Both Bach, Mozart were great, you don't see greatness in Mozart simply because you can't find it.

@pobinr If you think Mozart's use of repeated notes was bad, try Chopin's raindrop prelude, preludes No.4, No.17 No. - I'm a Chopin-fan, but I don't think they're safe from your criticism against melodramatic music full of repeated notes.

@pobinr Adagio and Fugue in C minor for String Orchestra. (daring use of chromaticism that foreshadows tchaikovsky) and the "5 voci" fugal symphony K551- especially the last 2 minute miraculous finale, Fantasia in F minor for organ k608, Requiem Introitus/Kyrie Fugue, fugal sections of the Opera, Die Zauberflote - the only reason why you think Mozart couldn't fuse classical elements with that of baroque is
because you have not heard much of his music.

@zyxonian Couldn't have said it better myself.
@Geiginni you are wrong it is the piano that can ring with the slightest touch of the key, a harpsichord requires more effort to get the the bottom of the keyboard , if you use a lighter touch than playing a piano, you wont hear a thing, you need to hit the keys of a harpsichord with pressure and confidence, it you play lightly the key will go down but the strings will not be plucked, i play harpsichord, and im better than you

The day I see no fighting in comments over classical music will be a day miracles happen.
SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.
