Posts: Music / Beethoven's 8th

Just heard it for my first time ever. There is something special about hearing a symphony performed live when you have never heard it before.

This was supposed to be one of Beethoven's shittier pieces of work, but I quite liked it. I guess it's kind of comparable to when post-Beatles John Lennon would shit out a quick off the cuff ditty that would be a critical low-point in his career, yet the song itself still hangs far above any similar music of the time. (e.g. Grow Old With Me).

its his shittier stuff compared to itself. beethovens worst stuff is still better than AFI's best.

music performed live is better than listening to it on any other medium, imho. ESPECIALLY orchestral works.
