I've been giving some thought on this Mozart vs. Beehtoven

So I think we should tally it up!

Orchestration: Personally Beehtoven,(Pastorale) Though Mozart knew how to properly balance the orchestra.

Memorable Melodies: As I can think of Beehtoven had tons more. LIke Fur Elise, Ode to Joy, BUM BUM BUUUUMMMMM Beehtoven's 5th. Only One I can think of for mozart that is popular with the kids today is Eine Kleine Nacht.

Accesible: I'd say Mozart. Lee brought up a good point about Mozart's ability to make music that can work with many different festivals/church music.

Structure: I think this is what Beehtoven is known for and since I'm beehtoven biased I'd give it to HIM!!

Counterpoint: NOW thats a toughy

Innovative: BEEHTOVEN! modernist he is!

3:2:1
There is probably tons more but this is all I can think of at the moment. So you guys/gals start think'n up more like this. ANd LETS TALLY EM UP!!!
