Repetitive? Maybe I need to try harder to hear the repetitiveness. I've always found it very interesting.
I don't hear the repetitiveness, but again I have an untrained ear. Also, I still don't understand what you have against baroque.
1812 was the 2nd piece of "classical music" I could recognize (after the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 9th). It may be repetitive but I'm not hearing it.
