Any classical music fans?

I’m a big classical music fan and I have to say I’ve had trouble finding fellow fans of the genre, esp younger people. Most people I know are usually more pop/rock/rap/party-type music heavy. Anyone else on here like classical? Favorite composers? Favorite pieces? I’m personally a big fan of Rachmaninov and Mendelssohn.

 

Oh, you've got a fellow classical music fan right here! I can't help but appreciate the complexity and the emotional depth of classical music. It's like a timeless journey that never gets old. As for favorite composers, I have a soft spot for Chopin. There's something about his compositions that just resonates with me. But hey, Rachmaninoff and Mendelssohn are fantastic choices too! Their music has a way of pulling you in and not letting go. It's always great to meet another classical music enthusiast. Keep those symphonies playing!

Recently flew directly over the Grand Canyon on a commercial flight and I was listening to the first movement of Rachmaninoff’s piano concerto #2 and it was one of the most peaceful and sublime moments of my life

The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.
