I've always loved classical music. But then I realized that I really didn't like the whole horn trumpet symphony hoopola with music that sounds like it was made for kings and queens. I actually can't stand it. There's plenty of genres within "classical music". I'm more of a violin-piano-guitar kind of classical music listener. Not a big fan of orchestras.
I came across this video on TED by a conductor named Zandar who re-introduced me to Chopin. I had only really heard his popular pieces and after watching him describe the piece he played I sought out fell in love with Chopin's music again. And so in my video I play the same piece he does in his.
