Bleh. I don’t *hate* Classical music. I just really, really can’t stand it anymore. My parents and my teachers played nothing but Classical (or so it seems) until I was 10 or so. I’ve heard so much Classical that I am sick of it. SICK OF IT.
and, at the same place
my favorite piece of classical music was mozart’s “ode to joy”
and …
We play a great deal of classical stuff in my orchestra some of it is pretty neat – pictures at an exhibition/pirates of the caribbean etc
I just love reading what other people think about music, and this job ‘o mine. Not that I enjoy knowing someone can’t stand it.
I have to agree, that was one of J. S. Mozart’s best works…defiantly one of my favorites. Not, perhaps, as stellar as his Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring thingie, but right up there just the same.
