500 years? Now you disappoint me. Especially for a
composer, who should know better.
It's a matter of taste of course, but for me
personally one ballade by Guillaume de Machaut
(1300-1377) contains more beauty than all 41 Mozart
symphonies in a bag!
Nor would I dismiss Perotinus, Hildegard von Bingen,
Guillaume Dufay and the whole ars subtilior as
"unserious" or "no art".
I realize, that this remark is pretty much off-topic.
I just couldn't resist the temptation...
