Made his bread and butter at soirees, asking someone to hit four notes on the keyboard, then playing variations on that theme all evening.

Deaf as a post when he wrote some of his best stuff.

Not only the greatest musician, but I'd argue the greatest artist that's ever been.

>>3303962

Dunno, but April Wine is my favourite group from my country. What do you have?

Bach. Good music is inspired by the personal, but great music is inspired by the divine.

I'm the one who first posted Beethoven. Would personally rank them:

(1) Beethoven
(2) J.S. Bach
(3) Mozart

Since the other two had samples posted to back them up, I'll do the same:
