Beethoven on Handel
on: March 02, 2006, 04:24:39 PM
"Handel is the greatest composer who ever lived.
I would bare my head and kneel at his grave"
-- L.v. Beethoven (1824)

I was looking for biographical information about Handel, and found this quote.

What do you think?
Did you know it? (the quote i mean)

  Naaaaaaaaaa am sure LVB knew that Handel was not as important in his role as a composer, Beethoven knew that Beethoven is a far greater composer. 8)
