Beethoven is the Beethoven of our era. Thats why Beethoven is Beethoven and not Meyerbeer or some other mostly forgotten composer.
Don't fool yourself, in 200 years he'll still be Beethoven, but people will be saying "Who the hell was Jimmy Page?"
This is esp. true when the Beethoven in question is being conducted by Wilhelm Furtwangler in the series of obscure live recordings he made in Berlin during the height of WW2... my little musical fetish.
