I think 'guilty feet' are my problem. Ain't got no rhythm.

.... I view music as a drug of sorts. It's not as strong as smell, but switches get flipped and messages get sent when you hear certain stuff.... but if not in a state that that can be enjoyed, then music just has to be on.

There is a good "Scat" verse in this:

I married a dancer.


My wife can't dance and looks
horrid if she even tries. Works
for me, thank god she hates
dancing as much as I do.

It's not that I can't dance, I just have two left feet.

But I do love music.

I like classical music and opera.
I like Sinatra at times, but I never
get tired of classical. Right now
I'm listening to 'A Beethoven Piano
Weekend' on Pandora..

Another thing I like about music versus tv, I can accomplish other things with music playing. Video sucks my head in that direction like a magnet and I end up sitting and not doing anything but watching.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I'm kind of a lightweight classical lover.

Haydn, Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, Debussy, Copeland, Chopin, Beethovens odd numbered symphonies, a few of the Bach concertos, some Tchaikovsky, all good ear candy.

Most Bach, Brahms, Dvorak, Wagner, some Beethoven, Saint-Saens, Wagner, most opera, did I mention Wagner....meh to bleah.

I suspect it's my Looney Tunes upbringing.

Dont know that I've heard that piece before. That first movement is very technically challenging. Almost percussive. And so fast. It almost hurt my ears on the passages where she was alternating right and left chords so fast - kind of a pressure change happening there.

The 2nd and 3rd seemed more typically Beethoven. Smoother and more melodic. Curious why you posted it among all to choose from. Thanks.
