Paul Jacobs was an amazing teacher at Brooklyn College as well. After the first few classes I made sure to sit in the first row on the left so i could watch his hands glide across the keyboard and also really focus on the music. Knowing really nothing about music and only listening to rock I wanted to expand my horizons after hearing ELP'sversion of Fanfare for the Common Man and the classical influences of the Beatles. He concentrated on 6 composers of different genres. Bach's Cello Concertos, a late Haydn symphony, Debussey's La Mer, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Schoenberg and Bela Bartok. His anecdotes also offered great insights into the process of creating music and the lives of these composers, especially Stravinsky He really was a genius to be able to instill a lifelong love of classical music and teach someone with no prior musical education so much. His untimely death was a great loss.

To quote Radar O'Reilly of MASH, "Ahh, Bach". I can add "Ahh, Clapton", but little else here other than questions. However, I am still reading and following this wonderful and informative thread nearly daily. I can't not, too much to learn here.
