Beethoven, hmmm...?

I am not the biggest fan of Beethoven, nor the entire Romantic era (although I do like early Beethoven, which I consider late Classical). I realize that to most classically trained musicians I am blaspheming, but the Romantic era--in terms of theory (harmonies and "new" compositional techniques such as doubly augmented 4/3 chords and the ridiculous use of enharmonicism), simply does not appeal to my compositional and performing nature. However, I really enjoy his seventh symphony, especially movement II (Allegretto). It's one of the few pieces by Beethoven to get some feeling from me. So go Beethoven! And, why not? Go me.
