So why are there no more musical geniuses like Mozart of Beethoven anymore?

Because music, like art, became something you do for money. Not something you sought to seek mastery of to show off for fellow elites. That's why the phrase "professional artist" is an oxymoron

John Adams or maybe Hans Zimmer is close I think, but there just isn't the same amount of prestige in being a classical musical artist these days, even though they do the majority of heavy lifting for cinema.
I know before John Williams it felt like movie music in general was less refined in its ability to evoke a scene's emotion. Like, they were lucky if they could get the beats synchronized with what was happening.

There are hundreds of musical geniuses, they're just not popular. Also they don't do classical music, that shit is done

Music is a form of art, and sadly, it has a permanent bond to the social circumstances of its time. We live in a shit time, so we get shit art. Also what you mention is true, profit on top of expression is never a good combo.
>>
>>215550343
>>215550365
Movie composing is something modern day composers have to fall back on because nobody pays them to write the music they actually want. John Williams said he didn't care about his film scores and it's the case for any serious musician who makes film scores. Someone like Hans Zimmer is just a merchant, he would have been someone like Offenbach 200 years ago.

Mozart and Beethoven were just the rock stars of their days , very talented musicians sure but they weren't really as "genius" as people think they were and more a product of their time. Beethoven was famously retarded when it came to math, actually.

i despise when people say this, "dude these swedish proodoocers are like modern day mozarts!". its probably a meme that originated from these guys themselves. top 40 popularity doesn't equal genius or talent, these "hits" are designed and not due to genius, its a multifactor scheme of industry planting based on data collection and sophisticated multi-level marketing, his association with backstreet boys should tell you all you need to know if you knew shit about modern music. they tell people what is popular before it becomes popular without their knowledge.

Mozart and Beethoven made music for money. In fact in their day music was a skilled trade, which is why e.g.: Bach composed over 1000 works. Now any retard with a laptop can do the digital equivalent of banging rocks together and people will lap it up like the starved dogs they are.

I would think it's the type of person who experiences something new and reduces it down to "Wow isn't that just exactly like ______?

Why do you have to tell lies? The beloved classical masters were indistinguishable from the drug-addled philandering musicians of today. They all cheated on their wives (or in the case of Beethoven, never married but had affairs with married women). Berloiz and Chopin went on opium benders. Beethoven was violent and irritable. Mozart arguably invented the modern concept of ass-eating (Leck mich im Arsch). Tchaikovsky was a homo and killed himself by getting cholera on purpose.

Please kill yourself at the earliest convenience.

It is, pretty much every known "artist" is a nepo baby. And now with AI people with skills can't make even a meager living with art anymore, so only the nepo babies will remain.

You have to have some sort of a system where 90% of art related jobs (commercial art/music/technical writing/etc.) and art-adjacent jobs (from making paint brushes to being the cable guy in a recording studio) still exist to produce proper writers, artists, musicians etc. But all those jobs are gone.

I'd also add: ease of creation brought in legions of incompetents. This is especially evident in contemporary times, when computers have erased any of the difficulty or work in creating art and AI is removing even the most basic effort required.

Composers couldn't get into music cheaply back then. Everything was expensive and required craftsmanship, from the instruments to the paper they wrote on. It was a lot of effort just to get started and they had to prove they had the talent to get patronage to begin. They had to spend hours personally researching every aspect of their music, they had to seek out instruments and sit there and listen to them and figure out how they composited together.
