The music is really well composed. He created art that seems to flow as naturally as a river. It tells the story of melody. Beethoven suffered and worked really hard to smooth out his melodic development. There are layers of old versions underneith many of the manuscripts. This translates into the solid and beautiful craft that it is.
Great music is always in the present. It doesn't get old because it works on levels that are always true to human beings.
I like to listen to how his earlier stuff evolved into his later works. He always got bolder and more personal, but he never lost that continuity thing. Leonard Bernstein once said it perfectly when he said that Beethoven's music had "inevitability." In other words, you always sense that just exactly THAT note must be the one to follow the previous one.
Just solid stuff! And it definately takes you on a ride!

Personally, I like both of them, but Mozart is my favorite. However, I know a lot of people who like Beethoven rather than Mozart. They are two composers from the same time, but both of them are unique in their own special ways. Mozart was a child prodigy and composed over 600 pieces in about 30 years of his life (first 5 dont count). Beethoven on the other hand was a radical change to the whole musical style of that time. But i think that Mozart is more of the "musical icon" that people go by when they think of classical music. Why? Maybe its the way the name sounds or the white wig that immediately pops up in their mind (which is more like Mozart than Beethoven) But people who know music deeper than others look not just at the iconic image of the composer but at the music itself. So really, it's up to the people - what they think is what makes one more or less popular

Major keys, happy feet, and intricacies that modern music just can't compete with!
Anything that is basically harmonious has the opportunity to become famous.
That which is treated as popular, and then classic, may remain.
Fate plays a part in catapulting such music into the foreground, and keeping it there.
And then it's "Monkey hear, Monkey play"!

That's like asking why Da Vinci's art is still displayed in museums, or why Emily Dickinson's Poetry is still popular.
Art and culture are preserved over the years; if all where lost then people would know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

HA SALSA is wrong...it is VAN not von. You are right.
Anyways, the main reason it is still popular is because it is classic and it is just some of the best music ever written. Simple.

He changed music in his time. He was ahead of the curve even then probably because he couldn't hear the music. He probably saw it instead and experimented which lead to great works and advances in music.

Could it be because music in general is timeless. It is beautiful to hear. Try it, you may like it. And his name is Von not Van

He makes heavy metal guitarists seem like geniuses when they use his music in their riffs and solos.
