PROKOFIEV!!
I hate his dissonance... Not dissonance in general, just his. I'm sorry. I don't know why.
HOWEVER I love his Romeo and Juliet, and a few interpretations of him that I heard once, only the interpretations though.
*MY OPINIONS start here, so don't call me a "liar" because I know that no one will agree with me anyways*
MY OPINIONS REMEMBER.
I think that Rachmaninoff surpassed almost all of the other Russian "big shot" composers of the late romantic era. In technique, such a vast range of themes, and dissonance that surpassed the later *prokofiev."
I also think that Liszt's music itself is overrated. Yes, him and Scriabin, from what I've read, are the only two who have been reffered to as "technecal virtuosos," Where as other composers such as Chopin, who didn't compose ONE virtuoso piece, surpasses them both 1000000% in musicallity.
That's just my opinion. PLEASE do not get mad at me, please?
