I LOVE Beethoven. It's not his fault about much of the crap composed after him. It's mostly the fault of government/foundation/university grants paying self-absorbed orchestral-jackson-pollacks to compose "important new works" that nobody wants to hear. The best music today comes from the private sector, i.e. FILM SCORES.
"Immortal Beloved" does a great job of showcasing some of Beethoven's brilliant works.

Serial Music went out of fashion in the 70s. thanksfully. Atonalism was needed but it ran its course.

It was an extremely silly movie but fun. Particularly since he despised his sister-in-law and sued to have his nephew removed from her influence.

OK, Beethoven's 9th and the Moonlight Sonata come close. And don't forget "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "The William Tell Overture." (Just kidding).
