The only one who DIDN'T major in a technical field. *tsk, tsk* <br /><br />Hey, I'm really excited, because, after literally stalking the Amazon.com website for two months, I found a used copy of the Bach Edition Complete Works (155 cd's) for $100!!!!!! (And those are exclamation points, not factorials. ;-)]) That was a terrific bargain. Also got the complete works of Brahms for $90 (that's 60 cd's, I think).Adrian C.

The Keister gene is suffering from some malfunction, obviously. Of course, mine has suffered from chronic malfunction for quite some time. To tell you the truth, I don't know who my favorite composer is anymore. I would prefer to speak of favorite period of music, which is definitely the Romantic era.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921510.post-75367371701073574332010-02-11T09:36:25.209-05:002010-02-11T09:36:25.209-05:00Ah.

I have no idea why he put Khachaturian in there. He's ok, but not one I'd put in that list like that. <br /><br />Lane's order at the time would have been (I think): Brahms, Bach, Liszt. I don't know beyond that.Adrian C.

Can you believe I found it, practically on the first try? Here's the excerpt I'm remembering:<br />Lane: "... We both enjoyed great literature, great music (slightly different tastes in music, but both classical: Adrian loved Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Khatchaturian; I loved Bach, Brahms, Liszt, Wagner)..." So, I guess since Lane listed Bach first, it's the one I remember. ;-)Meg Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934154575372202813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921510.post-4573181209324728512010-02-09T22:50:06.410-05:002010-02-09T22:50:06.410-05:00Reply to Mom.

There's quite a bit of difference between Bach and Brahms; much less between Beethoven and Brahms. <br /><br />I don't think I'll change my email address to Ackbach, somehow. It doesn't roll off the tongue like Ackbeet. Besides, Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto still holds a lot of sway in my heart. :-)] <br /><br />Reply to Natalie. <br /><br />Yes, it's taken a while. <br /><br />How are book sales?Adrian C.

(...a 'difference' I thought quite amusing, btw, being not much of a difference at all to most of us...) So scrap that difference. Also, does this mean you will change your e-mail address???Meg Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934154575372202813noreply@blogger.com
