I'm just going to go with 'No'.

I no. I no. I no see tracks yet, no?

Got drums yet? I like tracking to real drums.

I don't think you're gonna find a drum track on the 5th or the 7th or the 9th for that matter. I would select Keith Moon, though, so he could plaster it all with cymbals and make a total spalsh!

That is J.S.Bach but to a modern person you may have to be like Wendy Carlos.
That's right (about my sister).
 
And now for your next college course on the pipe organ. (or organ??)

Have Fun.

I was learning something else.
So, first you may have to change into a girl.

I'm still wondering in my head if you are not confusing this with PDQ Bach!

Moshkiae, has Iphigenia been spotted in Brooklyn again?  Was she searching for the Four Seasonings?

I always liked Frankie Vivaldi and his Four Seasons.

One of my favorites as well.

Are we all capable of being the next Beethoven?
 
No!
 
And to me that answer is the obvious one.

Specially if all we can compose is on 4 lines on a staff! Or 3 instruments and a metronome, since that is what most drummers are these days! Gawdddd we need more Bonzo's and Moonies!

My favorite ... and dig that kazoo!
 
Wayyyyyyy better than the cowbells ... but I'm not sure we have tied up Bapu and Strummy and Mooch to their chairs yet so they can hear it! Now that is a massive ... notation ... on the staff, don't you think?

Having the knowledge doesn't mean having the skills.
There are surely many who know (practically) everything about music and how it's made, but they can't create it. And there are many, who know less, but can create great music.
The music of Beethoven and the likes has survived hundreds of years, and has been admitted to be work of genius by all generations and, note, also by different cultures. They were not the only good composers of their time. The notations of hundreds or thousands of others have been re-used for making book-covers, but their works are still admired as something like miracles.
 
They wrote their work "live" on paper with quills with perfection and speed that feels impossible today. They wrote opera masterpieces in less than a year, whereas the modern masters reach a composing speed of something like 3-5 seconds a day (the total length of the piece divided by time used) with all the technology they have. Admittedly, the modern masters may have lots of other duties, and the old masters were forced to desperate hurry in order to make ends meet.
 
If anyone can be the tallest man in the world, or the heaviest or fastest, then anyone can be next Beethoven. Being a genius is something you cannot learn. I do agree to that surely some genius artists are
totally ignored in the overwhelming offering of today.
 

It is not that someone may be the next Beethoven, but to me even in his time, they wrote about what was happening also in their own way. It may be the question of whether anyone wants to be a Beethoven or so?
They may just decide that the money is not there, and I can enjoy immensely more John Williams's ET music more than even Beethoven.
Of course there may be others, but hearing them may be time consuming to find and then back then in Beethoven's time they did not have electricity, Internet, TV, movies, electronic gizmo gadgets, and perhaps more of an audience that needed music more back then for an outlet with the way things were living at that time.
Anyone can look up his life at Wikipedia. All I ever heard is that virtuoso pianists have to practice at least 7 -1/2 hours or more a day.
I know I just do not want to do that, and I am sure there are others out there in that kind of environment that also do that with other instruments.
Just the majority of people it seems just does not listen as much if at all to that kind of music.
I know without even having more people in this world nowadays as back when, they have heard John Williams's music a lot more, a lot more people.
But music is always changing so all I was bringing up is perhaps some people that others think are that way nowadays and some that really are not, but do not sound even close to Beethoven, or Bach, or Brahms or anyone of those creators of music.
