It feels utterly wrong to be comparing Beethoven with Jarre at this level.
Somewhat oddly, I don't think you're at all the first person to do this. Either I have amazing deja-vu, or at least one actual reviewer has made this comparison before - not of the pieces, but of the writers.

and who even I will acknowledge probably won't be remembered in a hundred years
Nonsense. He won't be remembered in the same way as Beethoven, obviously, but Jarre will definitely be remembered - the man was a pioneer of an entire, huge genre of music. He's not desperately fashionable at the moment, but these things come in waves.

That said, I do loathe Beethoven with a fiery passion. ~g~ So I may not be the best person to comment on this post.
