Yes, but that seems the least of your problems.
whe ni listen to slow pieces like nocturnes etc that are supposed to be so beautfiaul , i need to make a conscious effort to pay VEWRY close attentio nto the music to be interested, otherwise it's really boring for me
This is normal. Classical music can be very wonderful to listen carefully to. As soon as something else requires your attention and it becomes relegated to being background music, you'd probably be better off with some actual background music. Do you play a second instrument?
Did you really say you have dope taste in music, or did you mean to type something else?Anyway, there's lots of different classical music, some more exciting than others. I'm not interested in all of it, either. And the piano can play all kinds of music. Try some Japanese heavy metal.
