35 when died, already became one of the greats along with Beethoven and Bach. If he lived longer, could he possibly surpass the two?

There's a chance that he could have made Beethoven redundant, i.e. become a Beethoven with an actual gift for melody. Probably not though, but I think he would be equally revered as Bach and Beethoven, were as now I think he tends to be rated slightly less highly as them.

Bach was better in basically every possible way desu.

Robotic uninspired scale patterns are still just robotic uninspired scale patterns even if you pile them on one another.

True. I mostly see people rank Bach, Beethoven, then Mozart as their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. Kinda related that the greatest is also the oldest and vice versa.

Well seeing how their compositions improved as they aged, I think he has a chance
Classical composers improved as they aged, unlike contemporary pop/whatever that have one good album and the rest sucks or is just a copy of their first album. So I say yes.
