  • The Being Boring Thread!
     OP - October 15, 2011, 08:24 PM
    I heard on a radio program that some people apologise to friends and colleagues for liking classical music! So that they dont appear boring!

    I love Classical Music! Therefore I am Boring! Wink

    Any other Boring people here?

    Come on! There must be at least one!

    Come out come out you Boring People and be counted!

    My boring list :

    Puccini's - Madam Butterfly - one fine day

    Rodrigo - Concerto De Aranjuez

    Bach's Brandenburgh Concertos 5

    Vivaldi - Four Seasons - Spring

    Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake

    Mozart - Eine Kliene Nachtmusik

    Nyman - Heart Asks Pleasure First

    Delibes - “Lakme - Flower Duet”

    Strauss - "Blue Danube"

    Holst - Jupiter

    Beethoven - Symphony No 5

    Beethoven - Symphony 9 - Ode to Joy

    Beethoven's - "Moonlight Sonata"

    Mozart Piano Concerto 23

    Brahms Hungarian Dance No 5

    ------------

    Some reason im unable to add links to these to youtube from my ipad Cry






    Little Fly, Thy summer's play
    My thoughtless hand has brushed away.

    I too dance and drink, and sing,
    Till some blind hand shall brush my wing.

    Therefore I am a happy fly,
    If I live or if I die.

    It seems a supreme irony that the greatest, most creative, most intelligent music written by man is considered boring to listen to.
    At evening, casual flocks of pigeons make
    Ambiguous undulations as they sink,
    Downward to darkness, on extended wings. - Stevens

    I can see this is going to turn into a "post a favourite piece of classical music thread"

    So we must have some Mozart.

    That Mozart posted by Hassan was a brilliant performance! I will, in that case, post some of my all–time favourite by Brahms:
