Vivace I've only just discovered classical music,
really. It is something of a misnomer to call what I've discovered
"classical music," because I suppose music from the "classical"
period isn't something I've responded to as strongly, or listened
to as much, as the music from the Romantic and

I didn't know much about
classical music and had no desire to know more. I remember
listening to Mozart's chamber music when I was about ten, by my own
choice, and loving it. But, hey, I was ten. My parents hardly ever
listened to music and, if they did, classical music was the last

My music seems somewhat
peculiar to a lot of people, mostly because a classical musician
who does improv has become somewhat of a rarity in recent years.
Western classical music stands out as an oddity mostly because it

that a similarly
open-ended approach to interpretation was less of a taboo in the
world of classical music performance.I share you disgust at dumbing
down an interesting piece of music to make it more accessible --
such violence has been done to many a great classical piece as
well, so I can relate.

The CBC took their most brilliant classical music
host--whom they had taken out of the classical music block and
forced to play godawful pop music in what had previously been the

the statement "ALL
"classical" music stands the test of time". Your argument is, on

renaissance/baroque/classical/romantic/modern era music for
"classical" instruments) on average, stands the test of time,
because it's well designed, well thought out, and doesn't depend on
hype/advertisement, or social fads, for its survival. Some
