I think this is my favorite one of the 6.
I play it once or twice almost every day - trying to get it fully memorized.

Bach - inspiring. Beethoven - inspiring. Brahms - inspiring. Bartok - depressing.

Shouldn't that go in the unpopular opinions post?

If Bartok wrote a depressing/sad piece ever, I've never heard it. He's more focused on upbeat vitality than all the above named composers, B., B., & B. ...

Some can't handle excursions away from conventional tonality n forms... locked in the past, tradition.

Anyway this is a fun short piece, nicely rendered, just need to get that page turn weeded out.

Beethoven is hardly inspiring, and Bartok is hardly depressing.

All opinions. Plus everything said before.

Everyone has a right to think anything about any composer, because there are no objective restraints about how a piece should make you feel. But I don't think that owen david's words are optimal for me, either.
