The story goes that once Gershwin went to Stravinsky and asked him for composition lessons. Stravinsky asked him how much money he had made the last year. When Gershwin told him, he replied "It is I who should take lessons from you!"

@robtrodes

True story, but has nothing to do with Stravinsky. (Gershwin - Ravel)

@truecrypt

Actually you were correct!

"WHENEVER George Gershwin met a famous composer, so the stories go, he would ask for lessons. He is said to have requested them from Varèse, Schoenberg, Bloch, and Toch, among others, but the two legendary responses are attributed to Ravel and Stravinsky."

13 idiots...

People who try to bring down other people's music must have really low self esteem. Seriously what do you guys who post comments like " 13 Bieber fans" try to achieve with it? To make yourself feel better because you believe your better than someone else because of the music you listen to?

This guy plays sloppy. Hitting too many off keys by accident. sounds like my 6yr old banging away at the ivory. I like it clean like Beethovan's style. But hey music tastes are subjective no?

@aortz Even if justin bieber writes crap music, they don't have to bash him. He's not like claiming himself to be the best and degrading musicians better than himself, but just writing his own music. If you're unsatisfied with lots of fanatic bieber fans, just get over it cuz they won't stop you from your own favor of music and nobody forces you to think he's good, otherwise bashing him does nothing but serves to make yourself feel better as RedforKing said. I'm saying to all pointless haters.

@RediForKing

I think that comercial music is not art, its just for money, and thats not the propuse of music or any art.

Im 15 years old and i can asure you that i know more about music than justin bibier, i mean, i easly could write one song like the ones he write (i dont know if he writes them couse a lot of comercial singers pay to other guys to write their songs) and if a professional musician look into one of justin´s songs he could give you thousands of reasons why is that crap music.

So why does this video open with the second movement, followed by the first and then the third?

@RediForKing, i do actually think that the music you listen to is an indicator on how smart you are, or at least on how unsmart you are not.
