In order to respect the author's rights, rather than cut and paste here, I provide a link to one of the most thought-provoking pieces of music criticism I have ever read.
I had a University education that included a fair amount of music study, but I had never before heard that Beethoven demanded the right to pork his friends' wives... . Sigh.
So, please read; and please post comments below.
ATB,
