I too am a devoted classical music fan!
A complete classical freak!!!! I frequently buy classical mags, books, DVD's, and CD's.
And I also agree that if it were not for classical music in general, most of todays music would not exist. One major step in the world of music was Bach's first Well Tempered Clavir Book. It was earth-shattering in terms of harmony and scale structure, and it still has quite a significant impact today.
Bach would be my all time favourtie composer, followed by Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, and the usual list.
Favourite piece would be Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 25. Absolutely tuneage!!!! hehehe Next would be Bach's Goldberg Variations!
It is indeed a shame that Fine music is indeed soooo under-rated in today's times. And to make it even worse, the younger generation are growing up thinking that the likes of Britney Spears and N'sync are musical gods! I myself am 19 years old now, and been into classical for the last 5 years. Sometimes I think that I'm the only teenager who actually cares about classical music hehe I could like name you the top 20 conductors and which orchestra's they conduct for. Tiz a lonely in the world of classical music...
Okay time to shut up...
