Corbin The Violist

I find Beethoven to be a stereotypical representation of classical music. I also agree with Susan McClary's views on Beethoven. In Feminist Endings, she describes certain important parts of Beethoven's 9th symphony as violent and repressive. I completely agree with her after finding such contrasting ideas in more contemporary classical music, and even in other composers within the same periods that Beethoven has been described to be a part of. Beethoven is still to me, deliciously misogynistic. I've always been a little bit of a sadist. :-p
