Inspired by Monroe's topic, 'rap music is poetry', I was trying to come up with a way to describe how classical music is wordless poetry for me. Wouldn't you know! A couple of days later, I was listening to a program on the radio station talking about Symphonic Poetry! Liszt was the one talked about before I was forced to turn the radio off a return to my duties. I'm not very familiar with Liszt but I did enjoy the segment that was played. I couldn't remember the title of the peice, something to do with mountains, But as I was trying to research it, I found that it probably belonged to a set of twelve pieces called "The Transendental Studies" which were inspired by visual art, poetry and landscape. I plan on getting more familiar with Liszt, but does anyone else know of any other composers that I should listen to?
