    @Steve-Miller

    I like all periods of classical music. I don't know if this is a factor or not.

    It's just that I suck with technology. I find this brave not so new world of streaming confusing and frustrating.

    Maybe when I can set myself up in my own home and don't have the substantial distractions of you know who I'll do better

    I'm definitely going to try!

      The problem with You Tube for classical music is that classical tracks are longer than popular tracks, and they interrupt the music after a few minutes to show you ads…and there’s nothing more annoying than that—you lose all connection to what’s going on in the music.

      Now, maybe that makes a paid ad-free subscription worthwhile. I tend to think so.

        I pay for the subscription. It costs less than what I was spending buying CDs.

          There are sooo many songs and pieces (across genres) that move me... But I'll share something I came across this morning ... I was reading something about it being the 20th anniversary of Pride & Prejudice film version that has the soundtrack performed by pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, so I went looking for it. I had forgotten how beautiful the opening piece is. I'm going to track down the score and add it to my list of pieces to play

            I just watched it for a fourth time, a visual masterpiece and that music is immediately that film!

              What an odd coincidence. I decided a couple of weeks ago to watch all the different versions of Pride and Prejudice. The book was one of my favorites in high school, but the only film version I had seen was the 1940 movie with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, which I absolutely love. Larry.... 😍

              I just watched the 1995 series with Colin Firth, started the 1980 BBC series, and got the DVD of the 2005 Keira Knightly movie out from the library. Looking forward to the soundtrack in that last one!

                @ShiroKuro I have the piano solo book from the movie, available from Hal Leonard. I used to play these all the time. So pretty

                  @AndyD and @wtg now you're making me want to watch the film again!

                  @wtg I haven't seen any of the other versions. I would especially like to see the 1995 series, since IIRC that one is pretty well regarded.

                  @rustyfingers I just requested the score book through our music library! I suspect Dawn is harder than it sounds (I think it has polyrhythms?) but I'm thinking it should be within the realm of playability for me.

                          Parts of Così fan tutte although I can't name them. I'd have to listen and take notes first. Lol.

                          I recommend Sir John Elliott Gardner's live recording but you have a hundred at your disposal.

                              Apart from so much of the classical genre that moves me, a few more contemporary artists that move(d) me are Passenger, Adele, John Grant, Marianne Faithful. And more.

                                @Bernard I like Adele too, a lot! And lots of other popular artists.... There are some Japanese "pop" songs that have wonderful lyrics, songs I remember from when I first moved to Japan.... those are awfully nostalgic for me 🙂
