What do you prefer to play?
on: June 17, 2005, 05:30:43 PM
The question speaks for itself, eh?
If you vote for "Other", please add comment.. If you voted for the other options, add some examples of composers
I really luv to play 20th century / Modern
Especially music of Russian composers
I luv to play Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev.. You know

I put classical, but it's really between that and Baroque...on second thought if I can retract my poll option I think I'll have to say Baroque.
However, that said about 95% of everything I have played before, and plan to play, is from the Romantic era...

I spend most of my time with my own music. As it doesn't fit into any style I had to answer "other". It can and frequently does, however, include some of the other options.

the trasitional period, classical to romantic, is by far my favorite
i don't know why composers of this period are so neglected?
my favorite composers of that period are hummel, dussek, clementi, field, moscheles among others

Actually, I for one don't ignore that particular period either; I've just been the habit of glopping all those composers into "Classical" (most of the time) even though it's not always technically correct to do so.
In particular, I find great delight in both Hummel, Clementi, and Moscheles.

Im a Bach addict, and a Mozart addict, and a Ravel addict.

You need more than a piano, two hands and a brain to play music. You also need hot sauce.

I prefer the romantic. Baroque and Classical lack the......excitement of Romantic. Twentieth Century, is my least favourite, as most of the time it is overdone, as it putting too much suspense and thrill. You either love or hate Twentieth Century music.

Assuming the poster meant only existing repertoire by dead europeans, I clicked "Romantic."
