He invented the ABC song.

His opera was some of the best of the period, and thats what he's widely remembered for. I dont know if he revolutionized it, but he certainly had a hand in shaping it.

He invented the pop song

Nothing really, I think he just set the standards for good, heavily dense, and thematic operas.

Beethoven was more of a genius than him 2bh

>introduced sonata forms to the opera
>developed a highly original synthesis of the tragedie lyrique and opera seria in idomeneo
>integrated polyphonic techniques into sonata forms
>developed a number of sonata-rondo hybrids
>bastardized variation form and sonata form (slow movement of the final f major quartet)
>greatly expanded the role of woodwinds in the orchestra, to the point where the winds in his later piano concerti come close to being a third agent separate from the soloist and orchestra
>wrote the longest and densest sonata form before beethoven's eroica (string quintet in c major)
>extremely fond of chromatic suspensions, sometimes resulting in sonorities foreign to tonal music (whole-tone clusters in the c major haydn quartet's introduction, suspension chords in the winds in the development section of the 40th symphony)

He wrote about shit a lot

>believing this propaganda

Nope, he did not.

>>66129421
Oh no someone says that it's propaganda without giving any justification. I guess I'll believe some rando on the internet over the 3 music professors that have told me this.

>worshipped

nah. Mozart and Haydn were influences on him, but he was fiercely independent. Not exactly someone to "worship" anyone.
