Admittedly the piano is not my favorite instrument. It probably goes back to the early piano lessons with the nuns who used to rap your knuckles with a ruler whenever you played a wrong note. Anyway, Chopin can be tedious.
Tone poems are always colorful and dynamic, and Mendelssohn's Hebrides overture epitomizes the genre.
It is a good idea to post samples. I've begun to do this in the music forum "What are you listening to now" by referencing the appropriate Amazon page. |
