Some things are broad categories because I just don't know much about them or don't think many people care. For instance "Jazz without electronics" encompases NewOrleans style, swing, BeBop, Cool, Modal, Third Wave, and show tunes. I doubt many Rogers and Hammerstein fans listen to Bransford Marsalis and vice versa, and I did not want to waste my time typing.

I could be wrong though. Tell me if you are one of a legion of Gerry Mulligan's pianoless trio fans.

In "Country" I know there are sub genres, but I have no idea what they are.

Post and don't vote. I'll add your option. Multiple selection allowed.

Blues is a wierd catagory. Modern music has blues influences. Is Stevie Ray Vaughn Blues or Rock that is bluesy? Ditto ZZ Top and their stolen Blues riff. Ditto many Miles Davis tunes with Blues in the title (Jazzy blues or Bluesy jazz)

I think it needs many sub categories.

"Classical" encompasses more than all your other categories combined, yet you put it all in one?

O, woman of my own heart!!! Hear, hear! Though i'd personally replace Bartok with Bach. Never mind-- Bartok and Bach can each have their own category. (Wouldn't Wagner be enraged if he didn't have one, too, for his Gesamtkunst (sp?). )

"So-called classical", but ironically not "strictly classical", music is the blood in my veins.

I adore jazz, but do not know a whole lot, and would much appreciate enlightenment.

Pink Floyd _does_ deserve its own category.

I put in my seven or eight choices.

I would like reggae as a choice, too. Also Salsa.

(I also think fondly of disco. Hey, it's rainin' men! Hallelujah!)

P.S. Does anybody here know who Tim Hardin is?

I enjoy listening to Bach, but I HATED playing it. It always felt so structured and regimental. Rarely did I feel like anything of *me* was involved in playing it. I hated teaching Bach too; I spent so much time trying to teach students to *play*, not just rotely perform what was on the paper, and then along comes Bach and all that goes out the window. I've aquired an appreciation for his work, over time, but he'll never be high on my list of favourites. (I'll admit that he was significant and important enough for his own category though.)

Bartok, otoh....Bartok was ALL about investing myself in the notes and seeing what music came out the soundboard. Bartok and Khachaturian wrote music that was all about expressing myself (or teaching my students to do that) through and beyond what was written on the page.

Ghads, I really have to get my piano tuned and spend some time playing again. *sigh*

<swoon!!!> also the Well Tempered Clavier, Cello Suites, Organ Fugues, and B Minor Mass (all fugues!! plus the Godfather theme is hidden in it), St John Passion, and ST MATTHEWS PASSION, which is, in my nsho, the ultimate bestest most sublime piece of music ever. (Choral gal here.)

Would love to hear your chamber selections, as i have only recently begun to venture beyond the Schumann, Brahms and Beethoven standards. (O, the Brahms clarinet quintet....)

Status: offline 		Sherri- ah.... i see. Singing Bach is so much different from playing keyboard though. It feels like you are really a vessel of some divine spirit, from which this gorgeous mellifluous stream of music tumbles forth and joins all the other streams around you until you are all little specks carried away on a great inundation of pure grandiose beauty.

Status: offline 		ROFL...i hated singing Bach too! Predictable harmonies, no dissonance...so...so...so mechanical feeling. Powerful, but predictable. *sigh* I'm really a dishordant kinda chick, I think, and that's just so NOT Bach. (But I'll agree with you that St. Matthew's Passion is an incredibly powerful piece of music.)

Status: offline 		O FIE! What on earth do you mean, no dissonance??? O, O, O, O!!! That's what makes him so much more than just baroque! I remember the first time i sang B Minor Mass, and was awed by all the very 20th C sounding chords tucked away here and there.

But, ok, ja, i have a soft spot for dissonance and cadence, too. BB is still the man, though the German Romantic in me prefers Mahler.
