Is classical music a sport? Who's the GOAT? Which are the top 5 countries?

Don't ever compare that faggot to Bach again.

>GOAT classical musician
>never proved themselves in the opera league

LOL

Have you seen austria's national squad yet?
Who else will they call up?

David Russell has to be in the conversation for a top 5 performer.
To me though, the best classical musicians are those who can perform, compose, and improvise.
That's a rare combination today, but was normal during the Common Practice Period.

>Who's the GOAT?
Bach

>Which are the top 5 countries?
Germany (including Austria)
Russia
Czech Republic
Rest doesn't matter

Italy is top 3. Monteverdi, Puccini, Verdi, Boccherini, Palestrina, Gesualdo, Scarlatti...

>Germany (including Austria)
+1 b&p point
>no France and Italy
-2 b&p points
karma: -1

For me it's Beethoven.

I listend the whole Mozart production and it bore me to no end. 90% of the stuff he did is just a copypasta he produced week-to-week for his patrons.

French composers are not rated enough. Same for Italians that are often not knwon enough outside typical stuff from Vivaldi or Verdi.

>comparing Bach to a monkey
you made a powerful enemy today

Chopin >>> alle

>falling for the rachmaninoff meme
>no wagner

gib frog composers

>claims Italy is top 3
>doesn't name Vivaldi
>not sure if trolling or not

Monteverdi and Palestrina are the GOATs

Couperin, Ravel, Messiaen

I thoroughly agree, but let's not take the contrarian path and pretend that just because Vivaldi is popular he isn't unquestioningly in at least the top 3 Italian composers of all time.

americans posting about classical music is almost as laughable as them posting about football.

It just seems weird that he namedrops 4+ Italian composers and seemingly purposely leaves out Vivaldi like its cool to not rate him.

Poulenc

Fair enough, Vivaldi's great as well

Rameau,Berlioz

For me,it's click to edit

Kenny G is the GOAT

You were doing right until the last one

Better don't insult Bach this way never again

I'll give you some of the famous stuff I guess, you most likely heard it at least

Berlioz youtube.com/watch?v=CTAAIRv7tO0

Ravel youtube.com/watch?v=dZDiaRZy0Ak

Offenbach youtube.com/watch?v=f4btfaT6kl4

Bizet youtube.com/watch?v=2y09pD1r-Qs

Massenet youtube.com/watch?v=1nKjFBEMpjg

Saint-Saens youtube.com/watch?v=b44-5M4e9nI

At the same time your country was lunging giant metal toothpicks at each other and boiling dogs, East and West Europe were delivering unparalleled musical works of art. Don't pretend like you know any better. You're entire catalog of composers are a bunch of post 1900's robotic mimes heavily borrowing from geniuses who had far surpassed your race's ability to comprehend music 300 years ago.

Maybe it's time to stop posting and do whatever Japanese people do when they're not busy drawing cartoon girls, which I guess leaves painfully killing yourself out of "honor' lol.
