Writes about classical music with an independent mind and a strong will to explain difficult things in a simple way. Formally I am a "Master of fine arts"

@musicandroots I would also include ABEGG-variations in group 2, include Bunte Blätter in group 3 and move "the Peri" to group 3. I would move the second piano sonata to group 2.

"The Peri" is, for sure, not the Schumann "we know", but I think it is beautiful even if it lacks drama.

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@musicandroots I would include Nachtstücke, op. 23 in group 1 and the piano quartet and Liederkreis op 39. In group 2 I would add Leiderkreis op 19, Fünf Lieder op 40 and Frauen-Liebe und Leben, and in group 3 Myrthen. I would move the trios to group 4.

@musicandroots @LoveInner I like it too, but I much prefer the Grieg concerto.

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@musicandroots @LoveInner I know that Horowitz has mentioned the last movement as the reason why he did not play the Schumann concerto, and I am pretty sure that he used the word "etude" in the context.

@JSBachMusic Cannot believe that 1) Toccata and Fugue in E major, BWV 566 got such bad figures, so fra. Maybe most voters haven´t heard it?

@AndreasVbg Svensk Epoch Times har en utförlig artikel med rubriken "Belfast skakas av brutalt knivdåd".

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@Me170B @Cr7Godbrand She misses this obvious and crucial point.

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@Stilla01 Jag får intrycket att du ännu inte provat Svenska Epoch Times.

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@OrpheusL The more you want to listen to more Bach.

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@musicandroots I have thought so too. Total dependency on IT-systems is also wrong.

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@TheGreatB00ks 1. August Strindberg
2. John Steinbeck
3. Ernest Hemingway

@musicandroots I agree. He is absolutely outstanding.

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@HotLamotte Länk till undersökningen?

@exQUIZitely Wishbringer

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@exQUIZitely Never heard of, interesting!

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@exQUIZitely That very game, and "Gods", and "Super Mario 1" and "Super Mario 3".

Epic is perhaps not the right word for the three last, but they have their own kind av greatness.

[Magnus Löwendahl @MagnusLowendahl]

@musicandroots "and lack direct communication."

The million dollar question is: Is it really possible to write music which communicates fully if you are deaf?

I would suggest "no" as answer. At least "normally no".
