One composer for the rest of your life

Chopin wrote his music to be comfort to the hands! I can't understand you...

I think his music requires much flexibility on arms and shoulders, and having stiffness on those areas leads into tension in hand and wrist. Unfortunately I have not yet been able to get rid of the upper body stiffness (and maybe never will completely) because of structural issues.

Chopinīs music is very unpianistic, compared to Liszt, Haydn or Beethoven for example.

I don't think anyone is in doubt about my answer. Must I say it? All right...
RACHMANINOV
and no one else!

may I?
why Rach?

[perprocrastinate]

Probably Chopin. His music is just..so pure. I can't describe it in any other way.

Another reason is the intermittent feelings of nostalgia I get from listening to his music.

As for the question...easily Liszt. Not only is his original output probably the most varied of them all, he also wrote music of the utmost profundity. Also, the transcriptions! Schubert lieder, Beethoven Symphonies, Berlioz Fantatique, Wagner and Verdi transcriptions, paraphrases on Norma and on Giovanni, etc. It really isn't close.

Why does this sound completely backwards? I think you forgot a "not" in there somewhere.
