Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth

@stringreen I disagree with your statement that the Suzuki method “thwarts musicality”. 

First, a famous pianist (I think it was Rubinstein) said that “the music happens between the notes”. A piano is different than a violin. With a piano, you can only control the volume and length of a note. With a violin, there are many more variables that can be changed (such as intonation (an D# isn’t an Eb), the contact point of the bow and string, bow speed, accents, vibrato, left hand positions, and harmonics), that all can be used for the purpose of expressing a unique “musicality”.

Second, Shinichi Suzuki himself said that “a beautiful soul will create beautiful music”. It goes against some of the basic postulates of the Suzuki method to say that it “thwarts musicality”. Skills such as memorization can only help musicality. 

On a positive note, there is a limited number of Suzuki teachers in the world, and I’m curious who you have studied with. Will you be teaching at any Suzuki institutes this year?

Fabio Biondi's recording with Europa Galante is a breaktakingly exciting recording.  I love it.  You also sample Rachel Podger's recent version--she's very good too.

cleeds .

That is why I used the word DISPARAGE  which has nothing to do with
taste in English . 

As does your post .

...and, as for my posts....to consider disparagement in anything I wrote a misinterpretation of intent and my comments.

I hear 'classical' motif and signature in almost anything I listen to.

The basic elements of musical forms predates them.  Humanity has employed 'music' likely for as long as some ancestor found beating 2 rocks or sticks in a rhythm (perhaps to one's heartbeat) as 'pleasant' in some fashion....

Maybe it became something like this...?

Not to your 'taste' perhaps...but later, maybe it brought down the walls of Jericho...(...or so is said...)

Let's fast forward to something not so....'primitive'....

Perhaps more recognizable?   Good....the AON was one of the first to employ 'sample and hold'.  Although much of that 'motif' can be argued about as to its' 'relevance' and 'artistry'....as employed by Others...

Some is very good....and, of course, some is just derivative and 
'trendy'....

Personally, I like Debussy...not every single thing he ever did, but more than I'm interested in sharing at the moment....

(Pardon me, but your bias is showing....zip up....;)....)

@schubert ...Hey, for a change of pace, you might try this:

432 hz is a tad different than 440, but is pleasant to my ears. *S*

My Walshs' really seem to like pianos....and I'm a sucker for one played well. ;)
