I admire Beethoven because he didn' hear anything and although that he wrote these masterpieces!

^ Yes, he used to cut the legs of his Piano off so he could hear the vibrations in the floor.

 

Anyway, I like Vivaldi's Four Seasons, pure masterpiece.

I'm a fan of Rachmaninov and Stravinsky and Moussorgsky and all those Russian dudes.

There was this piece of music that I've always liked but I can't remember who composed it. He was Russian, and the piece was called Night On The Lonely Mountain.

 

It was in the first Fantasia film. The one with the mountain that becomes the Devil :confused:
