  • The Genius of Handel is rarely given enough credit. Bach is the main hero of Baroque, but some of Handel's stuff is even more amazing. It's downright scary how many emotions he captures in just this one piece every 10 seconds!

  • translation: my brain is too full of shit to grasp, comprehend or appreciate, or recognize real music.

  • @kourosh89 FAIL. Mozart and Beethoven didn't even live in the Baroque era.

  • name of the painting?

  • @kourosh89 You're joking right?

  • You can't Handel this.

  • @kourosh89 the master troll

  • @susumu07 I agree with you. While I find more of a personal connection with Bach's music, I've always considered him my favorite. But the more and more I listen to other Baroque composers, it becomes more and more difficult to say I have a "favorite".  I find myself now just saying that i enjoy all baroque music and all Baroque composers just the same. They were all amazing and the more you listen to them the more you learn to appreciate them all!

  • lil wayne is an asshole, he cant play guitar, only with backingtracks voila your hero, a lie!!!

  • Lil Wayne is highly inspired by Baroque/Classical.

  • Lil Wayne > Justin Bieber > Beethoven > Mozart > Handel

    Baroque music music suks!!!!!!!! RAP RULZ!!!!!!!

  • @LLL78 I couldn't agree with you more, I'm only a teenager yet this music is somewhat more connected to me than any other style.. It could be because I'm just facinated with history :S not entirly sure.
