i play classical music all the time. it bugs my roomies a lot but then again, it really bugs me when they blast Ke$ha all the time. i kind of like Ke$ha, but not when I'm trying to study for A &P.

Never cared much for Beethoven, or any of the classical composers, for that matter, really (I guess Haydn is not bad, though).
Baroque is more my style (Händel and Bach, in that order).

Haydn is very cool - I remember hearing a story that whenever he was experiencing "composer's block" he would pray the rosary until he was able to write again.

Bach reigns supreme, Beethoven is a distant second :)

What's Bach produced that's greater than Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"?

A baroque piece by a baroque composer. Chalk another one up for baroque.

Consider that this score is written for hands AND feet.

I would have little trouble saying that Power Biggs was the finest organist who lived in the 20th century.

agreed, but thats the best I could find at short notice. I was not happy with some of the opening phrasings. Do you have a better version in mind?

No, I was saying that I liked that version. I really enjoy EGPB's renditions of Bach's work.

I liked it, but I have heard better.
