Emily L. Ferguson writes concerning Beethoven:

Sounds like Mozart wasn't the only composer who wrote too many notes.
Seriously, I love Beethoven's late works where we find him at his most
creative and profound. Also, his early and middle period music isn't
shabby either. Did he write any "clunkers"? Perhaps, but I don't see
any point in dwelling on a minute percentage of his compositions. By
the way, I think that his Choral Fantasy is great stuff that excites me
every time I play it.

Amusing thought.

Yeah, like that Tenth Symphony of his. Tsk.
