[Magdalen] A question (musical)

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

You can't compare it to those.  All are masterpieces. You may as well as
whether "Wachet Auf" or "Ein' Feste Burg" is better.  Both are
masterpieces, and that's all there is to it.

Well, I suppose you might ask if Beethoven compares with Dufay or di Lasso,
but that's unfair. Guillaume and Roland were writing in a much more
inspired and inspiring time. They were surrounded by geniuses. Ludwig
didn't have any contemporaries, and he wouldn't have known much about them
even if he had any to hear, him being hearing impaired and all.
