It constantly amazes me that some list members spend so much time and
energy knocking down and criticizing.  What is the point? What is the
motivation?

And when I hear a statement about unbearably sweet melodies I conclude that
the writer simply does not know the viola quintets, the late symphonies,
the transcendental Divertimento for Strings, K 563 (possibly the greatest
piece of music ever) just to name a few.  And let us have no nonsense about
in my humble opinion.  This is objective truth.  Trust me, I'm a physicist-
I deal with objective truth professionally.
