    Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe.

    You can go further than that, as it has been pointed out that the canonicity of figures like Beethoven (who, to be clear, was a brilliant musician who deserves to be studied) was in large part due to the projects of historical-cultural revisionism by German nationalists and provides a warped understanding of the history of the development of music in Europe.
