i know that the sixth has a very dedicated following, and that this is considered by a good many people to be the high point of western classical music, but i've always found it to be a little bit pointless, anti-climactic and even, to an extent, inherently unbeethovenian. where's the drop, ludwig?

this is of course a major work, and it will bring out the bourgeoisie in force. but, i may actually be leaning more towards the eric johnson concert that night......

it's more about personal taste than anything else; i like beethoven when he's a barnstorming revolutionary, but less so when he's writing church music.
