Classical?
blindsuperhero:
Beethoven's Romantic, yo
At least, I would say he was
lofin:
Beethoven is Classical. He followed and developed Classical form. There really isn't any debate to be had about it. Look at the structure of his works, the use of triads and key. He also studied under Hayden (Classical composer) in Paris and died when the Romantic movement was just starting. However, he was very expressive and made unique use of dynamics for a composer in that time period. Hehe, I have a music history exam on Tuesday.
mooface:
Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack = Orgasm.
I also love me some good old-fashioned Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, etc as well. My dad has a huge classical music collection that I occasionally borrow from :)
ForteBass:
Beethoven is considered the bridge between classical and romanticism. This is because in whar is known as "Beethoven's third period" he began to experiment with some stuff, and the romantics took that ball and ran with it.
I mean, it's a pet peeve of mine when people classify all these guys mentioned in here as classical artists when they aren't. But I'm going to let it go from this point on.

Yep, I agree with that, I like to refer to him as the first Romantic composer in that regard, and I know a few people who agree. True, his earlier stuff was Classical, but if we talk about The Beatles, do we say they revolutionised pop music, or played crappy rock 'n' roll covers?
