I find I like jazz - especially the earlier 50s-60s stuff because it strikes me as richly patterned, and it defies quick memorization like Bach or Mozart. Early Miles Davis (before he knew he was the second Coming) tickles my fancy. Strangely I've never cottoned to Mozart. For some reason his stuff hits me as trite and syrupy. go figger. Maybe when I'm 60 I'll listen with a fresh ear and see waht I've been missing. But in the meantime, I think that Igor Stravinsky is the singular pinnacle of auditory culture. Of course that's the kind of intense, quasi-chaotic music that Christine has developed an allergy to. My recco for softer, gentler yet melodically wondrous music is Ravel. Bolero. Le Tombeau de Couperin. Anything but the Concerto for the Left Hand, which is a bit darker and more urgent in its tone. Predictably, I love it.

Okay, Penni, thanks for the extended musical recommendations. I will print your post out, also. Incidentally, without going WAY over my uncultured head, could you explain why early Beethoven is classical, and late Beethoven is not? I have had no musical history classes, and generally use the word CLASSICAL quite wrongly, to mean any serious and formal music you would have to dress up for and sit quietly to see performed. I do like Capriccio Italien by Tchaikovsky. Is that classical? Exactly when did the classical period end? I suspect that Pisces women become disturbed when there is not some element of FLOWING in music, the movement that fish make when they swim. It would be interesting to take several tanks of goldfish of identical sizes, and see how they grow and thrive, comparatively, when subjected to jazz, classical, and maybe some other kinds of music. I bet they like the blues!!!!! ;^) For that matter, I wonder if plants like jazz. I know that mine like alternative music a lot!
