I've used excerpts from this soundtrack in many, many D&D campaigns and can attest to its quality.

Wagner's ring cycle, with all scores:
Das Rheingold
Die Walküre
Siegfried
Götterdämmerung
A single sheet of the scores with up to 30 instruments covers just 10 seconds, for a set of operas that covers over 14 hours. That's about 5000 pages. What an enormous amount of work it must have been... and it's so grand! Well yeah, Wagner needed several decades to finish it.

If you ever feel sad about having lost a beloved, then hear this and let the music express your grief while you continue to get along with it. The loss of a beloved cannot be overcome though. Farewell Dad, you're dead for five years by now (he died on Nov 19th 2015, to be precise), but I'm still dreaming of you being alive!

Oh come on, the guy was born in Germany. You can't expect the rest of us to pick up on that one.

Beethoven year 2020: Corona victim.
Here's my first Google hit on famous deaf people in general: https://www.ai-media.tv/famous-deaf-people-15-deaf-and-hard-of-hearing-people-who-changed-the-world/
Completely ridiculous. Yes, I know a few of these, but all of them, totally all of them are nothing, NOTHING in comparison to Beethoven. None of them even begin to compare! Man, there's too many ignorant people over the ocean.

Brahms, German Requiem:
"Denn alles Fleisch, es ist wie Gras.
Und alle Herrlichkeit des Menschen wie des Grases Blumen.
Das Gras ist verdorret und die Blume abgefallen."
"For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withers, and the flower thereof falleth away."
"Denn alles Fleisch, es ist wie Gras.
Und alle Herrlichkeit des Menschen wie des Grases Blumen.
Das Gras ist verdorret und die Blume abgefallen."
"For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withers, and the flower thereof falleth away."
