Beethoven vs Mozart: should music obey grace or defy it?

BEETHOVEN vs MOZART go head to head — and every jab is rooted in real history.

BEETHOVEN

Music is struggle, Wolfgang - I wrote my greatest symphonies unable to hear a single note, wrenching order from silence itself.

MOZART

And yet the note should arrive laughing, Ludwig, as if effort were beneath it - grace conceals the sweat.

BEETHOVEN

Grace flatters princes; I made the audience rise for the artist, not the crown - I refused to be anyone's servant.

MOZART

You broke the chains, I grant you - but a melody that fights the ear may win the argument and lose the heart.
