[lbo-talk] Another thing about Vivaldi....

[123hop at comcast.net]

Every try his chamber music? The quartets he dedicated to Haydn? Haydn thought he was the bomb! The violin sonatas are superb.

And his operas: Magic Flute, Figaro, Giovanni, Cosi -- unmatched.

But, actually, I think you either like Beethoven or you like Mozart. It's the way it goes.

I don't get the adoration of Mozart. I much prefer Haydn - at least the piano sonatas & string quartets.
