The Greatest Music I Have Ever Heard

There are many candidates for this award. For example, Bach's B Minor Mass would be an excellent choice. But, today, I am listening to Beethoven's Grosse Fugue in B minor, Op. 133. I believe it was written originally as a part of a string quartet, but, as played by the strings of an orchestra, it's very impressive and moving. The intellectual aspects of this fugue could intrigue a person for hours and hours. What a giant of a brain -- Beethoven!!
