Was a Beethoven Inevitable?

         Was a Beethoven inevitable? the short answer is yes. The changes Beethoven made to music where important, but if he did not do it than some else would have. Music besides being an art is also a business, and like all businesses it depends on the public interest to succeed. Over time if composers kept making the same music the same way people would gradually become less interested. Which means composers would stop making money, and because money is kinda of important to have this would lead to composers finding new ways to gain public interest. So in response to loosing the interest of the people and more importantly there money composers would begin to make music that was far different than what had been previously made. They would begin to make music similar to what Beethoven made. Beethoven made significant changes to music, but with out him the changes would still happen they would just happen a little later in the future. So in the end a Beethoven was inevadable.
