classical fans/players?

Post Reply New Topic

I played the viola as a kid, now I 'try' to play the violin. Don't think I'm where I was as a kid.

I'm a fan of Classical music. I like all the Usual Suspects... Vivaldi, Beethoven. Nothing out of the ordinary. I don't like any Classical music that is too complicated and I prefer strings over the piano. Strings are more calming to my nerves, sometimes the piano can sound like a cacophony.

The Serenade for Strings in E Major by Dvorak is really beautiful.

I'm a classics fan. I used to play classical music on the violin and piano until I realized I couldn't play with emotion, but still listen to it lots.

My favorite composer is Beethoven, but there are some Mozart and Bach pieces I'm also a fan of, like Concerto 10 for two pianos (Mozart).

I'm currently listening to some of Bach's keyboard concertos. Nice stuff, really.

I like Liszt. Especially his Hungarian Rhapsodies and Transcendental Etudes.

Smart teacher.

Beethoven and Brahms Symphonies are simply first rate. Mozart and Wagner operas are entertaining and moving respectively. Ravel makes me happy. But the one composer whom I would call magical, to whom I could listen perpetually, is J. S. Bach (Organ Preludes and Fugues).

I play the piano and sing (Baritone).

No offence was meant. I'm a Danzig fan. I was surprised to see his name pop up, that's all.

I wasn't offended I was just explaining the facts.

my grandmother and mother sparked my love interest with "classical" music .

I play violin and my favourite composers are handel, dvorak, bach and paganini. I am especially fond of the romantic and baroque period.

Having read up a bit on Glenn Gould, it seems he has at least a touch of Asperger's. The sameness, eccentricities, wanting to have a private life, insistences on particular things, disgust at public performances, etc. Sounds like it.
