Bach and Beethoven are sort of opposites in a way, so I can see why a person who likes one wouldn't like the other. And Wagner is not nearly the genius that OP thinks he is. I mean, I suppose technically he's no slouch, but his music is racist Romanticism. Romanticism is the worst era in classical music.

What's wrong with Romanticism?

[(Anonymous)]

To use OP's ethos, it's the jazz of classical music.

[(Anonymous)]

Because it's basically syrupy emo pop music in classical music's clothing, and Liszt was the world's first rock god.

PREACH!

It wasn't really a matter of simple dislike, though. He was genuinely convinced that anything more "trivial" than Bach was plainly and simply terrible and bad. But yeah, I guess Bach and Beethoven are opposites. I can't really listen to a lot of Bach without getting inexplicably nervous. I do like Beethoven, though.
I'm no a big fan of Wagner either, but I personally side-eye the kind of elitism that declares Romanticism "bad", both in music and literature. It seems pretentious.

I don't mind Romantic literature, particularly the poetry. Some good stuff there.

I guess for me what it comes down to is expectations. And my expectations for different art forms and different genres are, well, different. Unlike OP who thinks everything needs to conform to classical music - which is bizarre and boring. I wouldn't want to live in a world where only Mozart and Wagner are played.

Pedantic rant:

It's not even classical music! It's orchestral, yes, but it's a different thing.

Brahms was sort of neo-classical, but his contemporaries really weren't, and it's ignorant to lump them in with Mozart. They're closer to Burt Bacharach!

Bach wasn't classical, either. Baroque is very, very different from both classical and romantic.

I really hate that "classical" (as in, stuff that sounds like Mozart or Beethoven) has been redefined to mean "old/pretentious music that is not pop." (And I like Beethoven!) That's the kind of definition, completely divorced from any real understanding or appreciation of the music, that leads to this twaddle: People putting "classical" on a pedestal--and then, usually, ignoring it or throwing rotten tomatoes at it.
