I love classical music and believe it is a uniting force than everyone can relate to. I am cellist who has been playing two short years but loves the instrument as if it has been a lifetime. Favorite composers are Franz Liszt (1st), Ludwig van Beethoven (2nd), and Johannes Brahms (3rd).
Poetry is an amazing artform. Even if a poem is dense with meaning beyond comprehension, it can still spread goosebumbs throughout an entire audiance. But more importantly, an entire two-thousand page novel probably won't give as much meaning as 16 lines of rhymes and verses.
