    Schubert

    You guess the types.
    Though I've never carefully went through and tried to type all the classical composers, Schubert is beta or alpha being basically "the 1800s Paul McCartney" as I've heard him called before, and Liszt is one of the most beta people in existence along with Wagner and Strauss.

    Then, I can't even figure out what gamma would refer to other than soulless corporate schlock. Mendelssohn is perfectly likely to be gamma, as are most of those other people. Mendelssohn was the guy who made Bach popular after many centuries of Bach being a nobody, and tried to lock Wagner out of composing because he didn't like Wagner's music which caused Wagner to start being sort of mildly Antisemitic despite the fact he didn't think all Jews were like that. If we're just going to say bad composers are gamma that doesn't help the "gammas have bad music and they're all corporate drones" image. (Though I don't think self-typed gammas here are corporate drones with bad taste in music.) But, people tend to really hate gamma even more than beta because of the corporate drone image, and music in general seeming like an Fe/Ni or Fe/Si affair doesn't help that.

    I recommend some songs of an ILI artist called Steven Wilson:

    [Piano Lessons - Porcupine Tree]


    It talks about the struggle of Steven for making his dreams happen facing the limits that his mentor and the music industry are trying to set on him. His potential is understimated and his integrity challenged. Is the Complex of Tied Hands condensed in a song. He has an album called "Stupid Dream", you can imagine the core topic of the work.

    "You'd better give up hoping. You're better off in bed", "Credit me with some intelligence...".

    [Arriving Somewhere but Not Here - Porcupine Tree]
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbWhpfXisZw
    In some parts of the lyrics it is described the pain of seeing how your dreams are shattered while the only thing you can do is to look and wait for your death. I don't understand the story of the album, I only know it is about ghosts.

    What ILIs think when the plane is falling: "All my designs simplified. And all of my plans compromised. All of my dreams sacrificed".

    [Time Flies - Porcupine Tree]
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkJB...=PorcupineTree
    An invitation to take every opportunity life gives you and a regret for all those who were lost and took you to a different course.

    "She said: "Luck is all you make it, you just reach and take it, now let's dance a while".

    [Sleep of No Dreaming - Porcupine Tree]


    It could be about the young Steven's fear of living in his dream thinking his sacrifice doesn't compensate satisfaction he feels for it. Or could be about living a life devoid of dreams, being a conformist which is almost the same as being dead. Or I don't understand metaphors.

    Haha, how convenient! Literally a woman with her hands tied.

    [Hatesong - Porcupine Tree]


    Some Gamma sincere despise.

    [Permanating - Steven Wilson]


    A more mature Steven Wilson, with a more developed Se.

    Take your time, don't make it a chore. One song of this list per day is fine.
