They are led by the disgusting, self-hating Israel hater Barenboim.
If you don’t like it you must be a Facist. The opening notes are Morse code for the letter “V” and it was used to signify fighting for victory against Hitler.
I think there is an WWII era Disney Donald Duck cartoon where this is used.
Would it be too obvious to mention that Beethoven was not classical. He was squarely in the middle of the Romantic movement.
With regard to music, pretty much everything ever recorded can be found on YouTube. I find myself going down into musical rabbit holes there all the time. That is, I seek out a rare piece of music and suddenly I am exploring many others.
YouTube is truly a modern marvel. Regardless of what we might think about its owners.
How about Khatia Buniatishvili?
I have a Chinese friend and he is studying to be a conductor in Beijing. I call him “Maestro.”
Daniel Barenboim recently did all of Beethoven’s symphonies at Proms with an Israeli/Palestinian orchestra. Is that inclusive enough for them?
This is some stupid *%#! right here.
I think I remember a story in the UK where a storefront played classical music from speakers outside to make loitering youth disperse.
I am so effing sick of these people.

So we’re now agreed that PBS and cultural subsidies should be discontinued?
The Soviets - at least post-Stalin, were open-minded and tolerant compared with today’s social justice warriors.
That was Ludwig Van’s 9th
Everything is about politics, and everything is about race to these insane freaks - weather, sports, noises - everything and anything.
They will get around to censoring and banning Classical music - and not just on YouTube.
The concept of music “excluding” people is an anti-concept. This is gibberish.
Vox is evil bump.
First of all, it's a lie that "to many" view it as exclusion and elitism. Only the loser agitators at vox.com think that way. Their article shows how pathetic and untalented the staff at vox.com are. If someone doesn't like what Beethoven wrote, instead of trashing it, suck it up buttercup and out-write it. No one is stopping them from writing their own piece but themselves.
It's not coincidence that vox.com is begging readers to donate money: "But our distinctive brand of explanatory journalism takes resources. ...please consider helping everyone make sense of an increasingly chaotic world: Contribute today from as little as $3."
I’m surprised because there are several great recordings of Ludwig Von on the VOX label.
