I am not sure if I can honestly say what I like of certain music since I started being a “professional” artist. I am a big classical music fan. I am a bit hesitant to say it normally, since classical music has its cultural and historical weight as a representative of high-culture in the West. I am sure that I am more hesitant to use the words “high-culture” and “the West,” but my honest love seems to be a bit outdated, and already well examined artistically and historically. New Music or “Contemporary Classical Music” is often outside of the scope for people…. Well.. I should stop talking for “people’s mouth.” I love classical music. Period.<\/p>\n

Since I was young, I had a curious intimate feeling to 2nd movements. Often, a 2nd movement is not as catchy as the 1st, and not as grandeur\u00a0 and dramatic as the 3rd (say when the music has three movements). I love a quiet and subtle 2nd movement. These are my favorites. Okay, I know this Ravel is too sweet. Well… I am educated as an artist who has a critical mind toward any cultural thing… I know this Ravel is too sweet. But, I should admit that I love it, still.<\/p>\n
