Favorite Composers
My favorite composers are probably Mozart and Ravel. Mozart because he is funny and I think I play his music best. I especially like his Magic Flute Opera. I like Ravel because of his Bolero.
It's hard to pick my favorite composer. For now it's probably Schubert, but it changes. I like Schubert because he's so melodic and song-like. Yes, Mozart is very witty--I like that about him too. I love Ravel's Bolero as well. Did you know, some say that Ravel was developing dementia when he was composing Bolero, and that perhaps the dementia played a role in the repetitive nature of Bolero. I'm a bit skeptical, but nevertheless, Bolero is a great work.

ReplyDeleteThe Magic Flute is such a delightful opera. The Queen of the Night's aria is breathtaking!
