at least to you...and umm isn't that all that counts?I like Vivaldi more than Mozart -- therefore for me Vivaldi is BETTER than Mozart. It is SUBJECTIVE.
The reason we have to cowardly walk the line priovided by self-appointed experts is that they will shout you down if you DARE to say that one of their faves is merely mediocre in your view.
There is little objective way to assess most art --saw the Mona Lisa and as a piece of art big deal -- it is ONLY hyped because of the back story surrounding the piece -- not by any objective standard in art about why it is superior or more difficult piece to paint. If you create art and build up a following and then do weird crazy things -- today being a junkie would help, and then die early you'll be a "great artist." Just don;t be a gifted artest who is an accountant because you'll be a nobody.
I'm not a huge Mozart fan because the harpsichord is nuisance to me generally. There's no denying his talent but what makes it on to my player is Vivaldi. I can;t say whether Vivaldi is a better composer -- he may be worse for all I know -- but I like his music better.
But hey Britany Spears probably outsold with one album last year more copies than Mozart and Vivaldi sold in the last 30 years world wide. Of course that's not bad considering that Mozart and Vivaldi will be selling (if we still have a money system) 300 years from today and Brittany Spears will be footnote in album sales.
