Are you meaning that Wagner and Chopin don't deserve to be selected between the greatest ones?

If one is concerned with 'the greatest ones', I believe the gentleman is correct.

Ok, I'll include a Chopin piece, just because my birthday's comming up soon and I've got some leave booked, so I'm in a good mood, but make sure it's a short piece! Forget Wagner birthday or no.

Thanks Chopithoven for posting the complete list of what classical music is on the Voyager Record. I've often wondered about that. I knew of some of the list but not all.
Just for history's sake, in the 1970's the record was the brainstorm of the late Carl Sagan and Louis Friedman of The Planetary Society in California. It also includes images of DaVinci art and some famous quotes from vintage TV shows.

Just one thing : CHOPIN did not like so much the music of Beethoven (except the opus 26 he payed sometimes). I even refused to collaborated with LISZT for the BEETHOVEN's monument in BONN (see his correspondance !).
Anyway I still like CHOPIN's works.

On the other side, WAGNER was crazy about BEETHOVEN... and I cannot listen WGANER's music a long time.

The last quatuors open the way to SCHUMANN, CHOPIN, LISZT and others . BEETHOVEN broke the rules.

And when your hate of romanticism is too much for you, remember it is Franz LISZT who said "BEETHOVEN's name is holy in Art".

Please don't misunderstand me, despite my show of meekness above, I have no interest in Chopin or his music whatsoever, Claudie. I don't agree that Beethoven opened the way to anything, because everything after him is 3rd class by B's standard. If they apreciated B's work, this is irrelevant - it is clear their own musical agenda was something quite different.
