Musical Musings: rontgen

Welcome!

Welcome to my music blog. Most of the music discussed here is what is termed 'classical' music. But every once in a while there will be a posting about music or a musician that could be considered outside the traditional classical designation. My taste in music does run to the classics, but what is exactly meant by a classic to me can be a different thing. A classic to me is a piece of music that lasts, no matter what type of music it is.

Thus Beethoven will be duly represented and so will the blues musicians I like, the avant garde, the obscure and the just plain different. In my opinion, too many folks get too comfortable listening to the same type of music over and over again. Music for me is a way of life, a reflection of life, with all its different facets. I'm a firm believer in the adage that 'Diversity is the norm' in humans and therefore in music also.

The only criterion used in the selection of which composer to write about or what composition to include is a purely personal one: If it shows up on this blog... I like it. Pure and simple.
