Beethoven is A great composer, but not THE great composer, according to a music professor who believes it’s time to reframe Beethoven’s greatness “within the context of historic ideals of whiteness and patriarchy.”

“If Americans could acknowledge that our music and music education are deeply rooted in these two ideologies, then we could realize that Beethoven, surely a good composer, was simply one of many.”

Well if we are going to base it on ideals of whiteness and patriarchy then we really need to consider Bach to be the greatest or maybe Wagner.

But if we want to just look at, ya know music quality, then it would have to be Bach IMNSHO.
