I've being listening to Brahms instrumental works, the symphonies are amazing...Anyways, I enjoy subtle works by Schubert and Schumann, with their brave tonality changes and progressions. I like Beethoven's chamber music, I like Wagner's dramaticism, strauss' orchestral and symphonic poems, Verdi's opera, hmmm, what else, I really like violin repetoire, too many too mention. More later.
