MY students LOVE Chopin, but his music is very difficult to read.

So they ask ME to rearrange and simplify it for them. LOL.

Yeah, RIGHT.

Rearrange Chopin.

Right after I Rewrite the US Constitution! LOL

With Beethoven, you can hear it came out of Mozart.

No bigger piece of BS has ever been written. Yes...Beethoven's first symphony is clearly Mozartian (and, IMO, better than anything Wolfie ever did), and several other of his early works. But to position Chopin as more innovative than The Big Bee is ridiculous. And, for the record, I love Chopin's ballades BIG time (and, to a lesser extent, his nocturnes, etudes, scherzos, etc.).
