Beethoven may have had left-wing beliefs, but his music is non-political.

--- End quote ---
Thus he was a leftist, against the monarchies.
Mozart was a free-mason.

Haydn was working for the Esterhazys. That's a difference.

Music and art are never un-political.

How can Music be political? 

Paining and sculpture?  Yes. 

Literature?  Of course. 

But music? 

Explain to me the politics of Beethoven's piano sonatas, string quartets, symphonies (save number 9)?  I'm not speaking of Words and music.  That's another matter.  But again, it is the words that are at fault, not the music.

California.

I learned about JTF when I lived in Queens.

Scribo - We understand you like Alexander Scribian. Do you also like George Michael and Freddie Mercury ?
