Which of course, removes a great deal of crediblility from your stance on this whole discussion.
Simply because you are unable to appreciate the Beethoven for what it is, a masterpiece, and have the perfectly subjective notion that the Mozart is "more polished", will not make it an objective comparison nor material to support a stance like the one you've been promoting in this thread.
All that to say that, basically, you have just proven yourself wrong with a single phrase.

According to you, saying Mozart's 29th is more polished than Beethoven's 7th means:
1) that I am not capable of appreciating the 7th as a masterpiece
2) that since you believe otherwise that everything I've said is wrong
3) that I am somehow biased against Beethoven (or at least towards Mozart, I'm no relation, I promise)
4) that since I do not subscribe to your limited idea of what makes an "objective comparison" that I have not provided evidence for my stance
What it really shows is that you didn't read my post before attempting to discredit my stance.
Here's what I actually said:
"I'm not saying Mozart's 29th is better music (it's certainly less ambitious)"
Which means:
1) Mozarts 29th isn't necessarily a better piece of music
2) That it clearly isn't as ambitious as the Beethoven's 7th
I respect your musical knowledge but in a discussion like this it really is important to read carefully before jumping to conclusions.
