It's a shame that some people mistake open-mindedness for elitism. Especially when those with closed minds are usually the ones who are most judgmental. I believe it was Frank Zappa who once said "you can be a truck driver and still be a snob." Take care people :)

@jamesgowdy I think all that happened was that she TOTALLY didn't even understand what he was trying to say, got confused, and tried to say something cute. Didn't work...

@MrJasonLB I know you're saying that to try and start something. The question is though, why bother?

@selfrealizedexile agreed

@dragmio You're a funny guy. What composers do you like?

These guys are in middle school?!?!? Great job!!!

@Carthsgtr Actually, I'd reserve that classification for something such as polka or maybe zydeco haha.

@the1yage I've personally always liked Haydn's music better then Mozart's. But then again, I haven't listened to nearly everything by either composer so I couldn't judge.

@thehappiestcamper haha no, absolutely not :)

Sounds good man. Keep it up!!!

@katyluvstaylorl Just chill back with a doobie and let the music wash over your ears. The more you listen to it, the more you'll understand it.

Respond to this video... I do have to say that I like his style (although he's certainly no McCoy Tyner).

@jodiprohaska Thanks baby <3 You're the best!!!

@cldbsy That an interesting point, because I've always found Debussy one of the least difficult of the more "modern" composers, or any composer for that matter to listen to.

@JazzYugioh1022 Are you serious?!?!? What's not to love? It's considered one of the greatest jazz albums of all time. This is about the latest of Trane's albums I can take though. Most of his stuff after this is just too out there for me. I think this one finds the perfect marriage of contai...

@danlovesnan More like Modal jazz. Something like Miles Davis's Kind Of Blue, or Coltrane's Impressions. They don't really have what you would call chord progressions. Kind of a min7 vamp, which the Dorian mode would be best suited for. Also the basic meoldy is in Dorian. Don't get me wrong,...

@Pgh416 what the fuck does that have to do with Beethoven?

@billye142 You know that the Lydian scale is built on the 4th degree of a major scale right. To find the 6th degree of the harmonized lydian scale, just add 6 plus 3, since the lydian is 3 scale steps up from its parent major scale. That would be the same as the 2nd degree of a normal major sca...

Never thought I'd hear Bernstein talk about Chomsky!!! I remember checking this out on vinyl back when I was in highschool. It's cool to hear it now since I'm a lot more knowledgeable about this stuff.

@member2798 I completely agree. I've always thought they took this too fast. Don't know what tempo Mozart had in mind when he wrote it, but it really doesn't matter much does it.

@GLaDOS22 I agree. Him and Bartok are probably my two favorites from that era.

@jpckrd I would definitely have to disagree about jazz somehow "watering down" consonance and dissonance. I'm not even really sure what that means though, so what do I know. I only know that I love both jazz and classical and to me both are equally amazing.
