Tchaikovsky was the last composer I had before I left for college. He was saved for the end due the complexity of his compositions.<br /><br />I agree Destiny, it is sad that after all this time Russia has really budged.Special Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03019395487185601033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-81776856361219969282014-02-24T20:51:07.916-05:002014-02-24T20:51:07.916-05:00There are a few classical pieces I like, i.e. the ...There are a few classical pieces I like, i.e. the Four Seasons. I am a huge fan of Johann Strauss Jr. <br /><br />But I don't listen to it recreationally very often. Seems to be one of those Sunday morning kinds of music, at least for me anyway.prairiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669415015184105792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-10941303376148525102014-02-24T20:42:31.263-05:002014-02-24T20:42:31.263-05:00I have to admit I'm not the biggest classical ...I have to admit I'm not the biggest classical music fan, I prefer my music with vocals. But I do like his work, probably because so much of it was for dance.<br /><br />Sad to think about how Russia hasn't come that far since his times.destinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394891914359285873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-29037106841367056542014-02-24T18:49:12.378-05:002014-02-24T18:49:12.378-05:00LOLLLLL!!!!

I even Google'd it but yeah, the YouTube sounded like what was playing. And then those last couple of minutes and he kept building and building to this crescendo and then BAM!! there it was! LOLLLLL!! I've never heard the whole thing - only those last couple of minutes. Ha ha ha, that was funny. Yeah, I was clueless.<br /><br />You know, I've never heard that Swan Lake, I guess. I didn't recognize it at all. I reckon I <i>should</i> know it.<br /><br />Well, you can't say that Special does not enlighten and educate some of us here on the blog. <br />: )prairiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669415015184105792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-25414265077507837472014-02-24T12:55:29.744-05:002014-02-24T12:55:29.744-05:00Wow, wow, wow.

His greatest gift had to be The Nutcracker - without a doubt in my mind, I think.<br /><br />What an incredible gift that entire work is - how many holidays for millions upon millions of people throughout the generations have been enhanced, how many beautiful memories made for couples, friends, and family who have made The Nutcracker a must-see, a tradition. Oh, if he only knew.<br /><br />I'll have to listen to those works, Special that you linked. I'm sure I'll recognize Swan Lake once I hear it as well as Romeo & Juliet. prairiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669415015184105792noreply@blogger.com
