Instead of using the word stupid, arcane would be more appropriate . It is there but we didn’t know it.

Hey Jason who is playing the bottesini concerto backing track in this video?

Bottesini’s string quartets are some of the best I know, but yes, he was never a truly great composer, rather just showcasing his talent for music as opposed to practice and study of composition.
