There's nothing "politically correct" about this point. This is about accuracy. Beethoven (or Bach or Mozart) is widely considered to be the greatest composer, but right up there nearby are a pantheon of Russian, French, Italian, Polish, and Czech composers. Why is this such a contentious point? [[User:JDWpianist|JDWpianist]] 11:26, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

: You're most welcome to "jump in here," but it's clear from Eoinc's comment that his objection is ideological.  He won't admit that some languages, or religions, are superior to others, and from that liberal point of view he resists admitting that most great composers were German.  In fact, he even implies that such an observation might be racist!

: I can't tell if you come from the same liberal camp.  You strain mightily -- and unsuccessfully -- to find some other basis for objecting to the observation.  A discussion would be more meaningful if you first rejected Eoinc's point of view and considered the issue with an open mind.  The truth is not contorted by political correctness.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:09, 6 April 2009 (EDT)
