Since I have used the word artist, it is proper to stop for a moment. Unlike Gluck and Berlioz, who were greater artists than Mp3 Musicians, Meyerbeer was more a Mp3 Musician than an artist. As a result, he often used the most refined and learned means to achieve a very ordinary artistic result. But there is no reason why he should be brought to task for results which they do not even remark in the works of so many others.
