Do you like classical music? My favorite piece is "Adagio for Strings". Most know it from the movie "Platoon"
I do like classical music! I generally prefer music more from the truly Classical period of 1750 to 1820.
Who are some of your favorite composers? I am a fan of Wagner although I think he was a little past that time.
Well, my heritage is Russian, so I grew up listening to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. He was part of "The Five."
I am of German heritage, they have a long history in classical music with men like Bach.
Oh, I like Bach, too! Magnificat, his biblical canticle, the first of its kind.
I live in an area that supports the arts. We are lucky to have opportuinites to hear this music performed live.
Do you mind if I ask where you live? When I think live music, I think Nashville!
Near Sarasota, Florida, very vibrant arts scene there. I don't like country music too much haha!
