No, that’s completely flawed. Beethoven’s style of music is not about liking it or not, it’s about his way of understanding and composing music.
If you wanted to know if they liked the music more, you could play any modern song and it would probably score higher, and I say that as a classical music fan.
To give an example, I would always go to a Mozart concert if the chance comes up, despite me not really liking his music a lot, there’s still no denying that they’re musical masterpieces and provide more than nice sounding tunes.
