    Deep down, I have a near ABSOLUTE faith in the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Its something I'm no longer afraid to admit.

    I don't have the need to question a composer's ability or worth even if I don't particularly care for their music. In this case, it's Mahler.

    You don't need to have faith to believe the genius of Mozart; There is evidence for that

    My deepest darkest secret ? Well, not really a secret, but I am a Beethoven fanatic, a Bach idolater and a Cesar Franck worshiper...

    And as if this weren't be enough, my life without classical music wouldn't be much of a life.

    You like Franck's violin sonata then? I LOVE that piece, it's been arranged for flute, and it's a musical tirade/ballad.

    Not that I only like it, but it is my favorite violin sonata. The same with his Piano Quintet. Not even to mention his organ music or symphonic poems, very ethereal music. I really wish he were composed more music, because his complete works fit easily on 10 CDs. He was not prolific at all.

    My deepest darkest secret ?
    Hmmm. Not going to be very deep nor very dark after I tell you lot.

    1. I'm struggling to play Three Blind Mice on classical guitar.

    2. I'm struggling to play Three Blind Mice beyond the first three notes anyway.

    3. Okay. The guitar. Trying to get used to fretted instruments I feel like I'm glad I can't play Three Blind Mice.

    4. I actually quite like the music 'Three Blind Mice'.

    5. I really want to play Three Blind Mice like a feline virtuoso on a fiddle!

    6. As a wind player or harp player, I can't understand chordal variations in guitars anyway (why are they repeated so many times along the 6 strings?).

    7. I actually enjoy boring people to tears. It makes my heart sing

    I guess my most horrible secret is that 95 percent of the classical music I listen to was written between 1905 and 1960. I have tried countless times to listen to the Common Practice Period, but it just doesn't excite me. But that doesn't mean I only enjoy crazy, atonal noise. There are plenty of early 20th Century composers who wrote in amazingly exciting extended tonal practices, like Ravel, Bartók, and the like. I actually like that stuff more than straight atonality.

    You're almost there. Time to dive deeper. Ligeti and Schnittke are waiting for your call.

    I finally thought of something else! I love the RIPPINGTONS and Russ Freeman!

    Despite hating their terrible, messy, incoherent song structures, I still quite like Opeth. Largely because of their atmospheric, enigmatic, chromatic note choices and phrasing.

    How can you be a "brony" if you are not a bro?
