All of my blind ambition left me deaf with perfect vision

I think I did something wrong with this quiz, because it did not yield up to me any sort of HTML code: thus making it a little difficult to post the results. But if you want to find out Which Classical Composer You Are, go here. And apparently I'm Beethoven.

You are:

Ludwig van Beethoven

Bizarre and eccentric, he considered himself a supremely great genius, and was not mistaken. He turned music upside-down and blew all the powdered wigs out of the concert hall, even though he was deaf.


Other than the deaf bit, that doesn't sound bad at all . . .

I am a New Romantic!

I think this means I am now honor-bound to wear a velvet frock coat, live in a garret, possibly drink too much and certainly die young, of either tuberculosis, syphilis, or getting shot by my best friend in a duel over a woman, which we both know is direly stupid and challenge each other to anyway. (Ainz reminds me: "Don't forget to disappear for several years to a foreign land, where you throw in your lot with the locals in a civil war and are ultimately hospitalized for diptheria, returning to your homeland only after a lengthy convalescence during which you are nursed back to health by an exotically beautiful woman with a dark secret, whom you marry. Or you could just be jailed for several years for sexual acts of an obscene nature.")

I think I'm good for most of that.

I am Prokofiev.

Hear me... uh. Emote!

Me too! Me too!

...Did you say you were gay?

"Kagan, Kagan, Kagan,
Bring the dory home.
Wind and sea do follow thee,
And all the ledges calling thee."



I've been listening to Gordon Bok's North Wind's Clearing on repeat . . .

I tried that quiz too. As far as I can tell it just directs you out to the street codeless, though with your results in hand. I cannibalized code from another quiz by the same author to make my own bordered box.

I think it was the 200-minute attention span...

Okay, I've gotta ask: lithopoesis? Creation of stone? When I googled it the only link was to a paper on shiny metallic tartar in wild deer (http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:YDpn6S5psYYJ:library.vetmed.fu-berlin.de/diss-abstracts/79451.html+Lithopoesis&hl=en), which was extremely cool just on its own.

Like mythopoesis, but very very slowly, geologically slowly: how I write.

Hypo-Marvellian growth.

Yep, Philip Glass. I think the quiz author is a bit...ambivalent about Glass. But I like Glass's music just fine.

Apparently I'm Mendelsohn.
