What did he do for music compared to Bach and Beethoven?
FURTHER
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.

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.
