Contrary to what you'll here on /pol/, classical composers were far from the paragons of virtue. In fact, some were as fucked up as the artists of today. Musicians made outstanding art in spite of their flaws, not because they were morally upstanding people.
Wolfgang Mozart routinely mismanaged his finances and happily indulged in scatological humor. In fact, there is an entire Wikipedia article dedicated to studying his enjoyment of shit jokes. The legacy his music enjoys is entirely posthumous because, in life, Mozart was a terminal fuck-up. He died penniless, in debt and with few mourners.
Other interesting finds: >Johannes Brahms: routinely patronized whores and womanized like crazy. >Johann Rosenmüller: arrested for homosexuality and pedophilia with young boys. >Jean-Baptiste Lully: another pedophile and homosexual who married a woman to avoid a death sentence. >Franz Liszt: notorious womanizer. >Franz Schubert: died of syphilis, possible homosexual. >Alessandro Stradella: womanizer and conman whose shifty ways caught up with him when a prominent nobleman dispatched an assassin to kill him. His murderer was never found. >Richard Wagner: stole the wife of a friend, participated in the Dresden uprising, seduced King Ludwig II to make him pay for the Bayreuth Theatre
They were all fucked yo for writing boring overrated wank music that’s in its own way just as formulaic if not even more formulaic than the most stale popular music you can think of.
Robert Bennett
no one on /pol/ takes classical that serious you fucking boomer lmfao.
Jace Nelson
Except it isn't degenerate, according to them.

Brahms apparently was friendly with women who weren't stuffy posh middle-class that overrated him. He was also a thorough shitposter and seemed to fuck prostitutes weekly.
Other weirdos: Britten swam naked with underage kids, Schumann had constant hallucinations, Beethoven had a genuine distaste for humanity, Bach positively, absolutely loved sex.
Nathan Young
Don't you see how much /pol/ bitches about "degenerate music"? They glorify classical music without realizing composers were pretty dirty.
Kayden Campbell
You've made this thread a few times before. Fuck off.

>boring People who don't read think books are boring.
>formulaic Literally the opposite lmao.

>Contrary to what you'll here on /pol/, classical composers were far from the paragons of virtue. Lol, /pol/ has been raiding Yea Forums recently and been doing the exact same thing, except they’ve been trying to distort history and make it seem like homosexuality wasn’t a thing in the Ancient Greek and Roman culture
You know, having your mouth open because you’re yelling something isn’t really the same as having your mouth open to pose for a photo.
William Lewis
still doesn't compare to the sodom-levels of degeneracy that takes place in the modern age false equivalency basically
Jose Sanchez
Bach loved sex? What proof besides the 20 kids from two women or whatever
Jonathan Rodriguez
First of all, /pol/ is retarded and doesn't understand classical or traditional art. People, like myself, who are concerned with the degeneration of music and art don't really care what musicians do in their spare time, the music they produce, and how they influence society is much more important.
Justin Rogers
They're not wrong, Jews often pushed black artist to foster degeneracy and stole sheckles from them along the way as well
Zachary Ross
Since when is that supposed to be bad?

I would say that despite anything you can say about the composers themselves, the music they made is not degenerate. When you compare it to modern music that glorifies drug use, promiscuity, empty materialism, and so on, can't you see where they're coming from?
Nobody is perfect. These composers may not have been paragons of virtue but at least they didn't glorify and promote their bad behavior.
Owen Ross
didn't wagner used to wear women's robes and take laxatives? lol
Jaxon Thomas
even some classical music (like 20th century / atonal music) was branded as "degenerate" by the nazis.
Only boring people get bored.
Classical composers wrote the book on music - modern popular music showed up to the first lesson, but then dropped out and never graduated.
Aaron Miller
Its hard to have dirt on one of the most based creators of the last millennia
Joseph Lopez
Everyone loves sex you muppet.
Bach had lots of kids because 1/3 of them tended to die in those days, and there were no contraceptives. 20 was certainly not obscene in those days.
