He he :D No offence taken. I would not call it weird but amusing :D besides those threads are better than counting to 10,000 :D

And I think you're quite right that music has to work for you, that is, touch your heart.

---

Yes. Absolutely!

They hold that music must be a challenge for the intellect. For example, they don't love Bach because of the feelings his music creates but for the intricate fugues - which, as an amateur, I don't understand, of course.

Music is about feelings. If want an intellectual puzzle - then Rubiks cube is for you :D

The fourth in the list is by the blind Spanish composer Rodrigo and is called "Concerto De Aranjuez". It is a brilliant piece of music. When I hear it I am standing in a lush green field. There is a gentle breeze that dances with flowers. The sky is delphenium blue. My eyes scans the horizons, climbs the gentle slopes of the distant mountains, and then travels along the streams with sparkling waters. And then it comes the final. The melody lifts me up in it's warm embrace towards the cloudless sky - higher and higher and the it gently brings me down to the earth again...

is pure Beauty - I have it on my ipod and when I listen to it, I'm somewhere else.

2. Beethoven's - "Moonlight Sonata"

The second on this list is by Ludwig Van Beethoven and is called “Moonlight Sonata. It was composed in the summer of 1801 and was dedicated to Countess Giulietta Gucciardi to whom Beethoven had an unrequited love. And there is also speculative story that goes something like this: Beethoven loved someone so deeply that he referred to this person in his letters as his “Immortal Beloved”. The music may have been borne out of that or something else or it is as some Beethoven Scholars speculate a lament for the dead. Perhaps it is. Perhaps it's not. Either way the music is moving both for the lament for the dead and for the pain of the unrequited love.

No I am simply Champion of All Things.

Beauty is your specialism and I have learned, over the years, to allow the experts to champion their causes.
