That was a great segment, Pro -
...the brain lights up for Bach but with Beethoven?..."not so much" ;)
I love both...That said, I'd like to see what happens when one listens to Rachmaninoff - among the most technically difficult, if not remarkably moving compositions ever written or performed, IMHO...

Great post, RFE!

  I like Bach, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff...but this reminds me that the only winner in the War of 1812 was Tchaikovsky.

    Wonderful observation...I have a feeling your entire brain is often lit up, Pro ;D

      D'oh - I didn't state that very well...it was meant as a comment about your intellect, not your sobriety ;D...

        Though the math in Bach compositions is remarkable, I wonder if it's not simply that the DR. simply REALLY enjoys Bach more than other things. For me Stravinsky probably lights up my brain...
