Ok that made me laugh. So I’m giving the Salieri symphony I started yesterday one more try.
What I really want is for someone to give me two pieces, a mediocre one by Salieri and a masterpiece by Mozart, and see if I can tell them apart.
I’ve seen some quizzes like that online, where you have to guess whether something was written by Dickens or a terrible writer. The problem is that they don’t distinguish great writing from poor writing, just the person who wrote it. Like not everything Mozart wire was a masterpiece, and not everything Salieri wrote was terrible. But I think I’d do pretty well distinguishing great music and terrible music.
