Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

I couldn’t get into his music. I think I’d have to be in the right mood. I’ve been writing a lot and took a break to listen. Although, it is also true that my ear has been exposed to mostly European and American music, and I need to really concentrate to listen to music from other genres. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Holst’s "The Planets." I think it’s a good piece of music for people to get into classical music. Some parts are absolutely beautiful. I think the part about Venus is one. |
