Everlasting glory of Classics

Being curious about whom different people consider to be the best of the best I decided to do a little personal research and typed into the Google search bar the text “top classical composers”. I can’t say that I was strongly surprised with the results which were rather predictable. The first three lines of almost all charts were occupied by such celebrities as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven varying just in their order.

At present when everything unusual and innovative is being considered good from the start, I dare to sound old-fashioned saying that I completely agree with the rating. These outstanding persons made an enormous contribution to the development of classical music. No doubt their works will be studied at music schools long after I retire, while most modern “masterpieces” including the so-called contemporary classical music will sink into oblivion. Tending to cacophony and dissonance they are doomed to a short live as the heart of man is seeking peace and harmony in any case.

But as the saying is - so many men, so many minds :)

Welcome :)

Hi my dear readers!

I can't express the excitement that is gripping me now as long as I'm starting this blog. I've always been close to music in real life, but never tried myself as an online author. However, since classical music is something I'm trying to teach with care and tender, I hope I will be able to share with you what I have gained during the years of my experience, and you, in your turn, would grow a liking to what you'll read here.

I never liked the word 'best' as such, as at times it gets hard or impossible at all to compare things that are equally important and powerful. Moreover, anyone stating 'this is the best' would have a subjective opinion about things. Notwithstanding, let me be a bit subjective too and convey my own vision of what I claim to best from classical music.

I'm sure you will admit that there are things out there that will for ever remain 'great', despite someone's criticism and reproaching. And in the world of classical music the number of such masterpieces is certainly one of the highest. Therefore, let us try not to be too skeptical or dreary, but instead enjoy what we've got as a heritage. Of course, I invite you to express your impressions and feelings - I'm longing to compare the visions!
