I think that's exactly WHY Mozart and Bach are so wonderful. They're as pure and perfect as humanly possible. Stravinsky is interesting, but singing Bach is as close to God as I've ever felt. Schumann said about Bach,"We are all bunglers next to him."

Ravel---Bolero is fun as an exercise in orchestral color and increasing dynamics, but it's not exactly music. It IS seductive as hell.
My feelings about Ravel are colored by having to sing Daphnis et Chlo‚ three times with the Dallas Symphony. It was one of the director's favorite works...and bored me to tears-no words-just all this tone color.
Did you know Ravel loved CATS????? (Now how do you feel about him?)

Your ear seems to have developed more "dissonantly". I wonder how that happens. I don't think it's just exposure: I've had years of theory and history and classes-and have never been able to stomach much dissonance without resolution.

Music impacts everyone so differently. When CW was three, we were playing Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain and he ran around in circles as the music grew wilder and then started banging his head against the wall.
This did not seem like a positive musical experience to me. But he would often ask for the Mountain Music.
