Who is your favourite composer?
In general if asked "who is your favourite composer" I would answer: Beethoven or Chopin. Then I start playing a Bach prelude and I think that Bach just trumps them all. Nothing makes me happier than playing some Bach. There's just something about it. Those harmonies and constant movement. Of course, the tricky fingering makes me curse. The beauty of Bach though is you can play it at an excruciatingly slow tempo and it is still musical!

You've got me interested in listening closely to Chopin now. Your blog also gets me interested in learning how to play :)
I like the Nocturnes best but if you get a "greatest hits" type of recording out of the library, that's good too. If you have a keyboard or piano, it's never too late to learn! It's just a bit harder...
Beethoven!
