The silly thing is to speak of things that "must" be appreciated... you can start by the standards and canons, which are most often than not composite and contradictory, but simply in order to find what you DO appreciate, which means becoming aware of why you liked it and, ultimately, gives you a good sense of what sort of person you are, which has nothing to do with being good, bad, cultured or common.

Listen to the radio or borrow CDs. Don't spend money on CDs while you're still experimenting with your listening.

I've found watching the music performed changes how I hear the music, as a skilled cameraman will highlight the performers in their moments. The downside is, though I have pretty good speakers on my computer, the sound quality suffers. This is a good tradeoff, though, as it's so engaging. Meanwhile, there's a lot of searching for good quality video.

...increasing vulgarity of formulaic, easy to listen that had always been around, started precisely in the late XIXth with supposed high-brown music like Puccini's....

Yes. But one must differentiate between—

a. the mindless repetitive stuff you have on while you're cooking and hoovering

b. the quality stuff when you spend $100 at the concert hall and opera house or that you listen to naked on the divan at home

Yes. It helps to see where the sound is coming from. You'll see how Brahms uses cellos and the low strings to make such lovely melancholy 'autumnal' sounds.

You'll appreciate why the oboe is most like the human voice. A melodic genius like Dvorak used the oboe and the clarinet to create dialogues (just like you and your lover have dialogues).

I thank you for your patience and forbearance (while marvelling at you clever use of would and could and still hoping the silly burblings here on JUB aren't distracting you from your magnum opus).

Everything is a trade-off. Everything takes time. Like, I'm still immature to appreciate much music made over 200 years ago but I MIGHT when I get older.

Remarkable men ARE difficult to live with. Their special needs must be accommodated. :? :)

BTW; Quite a few of the great 20th century composers have had their music stolen for the movies. For instance Star Wars has some brilliant music stolen from—

The Planets by Gustav Holst

Things To Come by Sir Arthur Bliss

The film scores of Sir William Walton

You know, I feel so in the middle of nowhere in this place like everywhere else, that I even get to find it weird to be referred to as a definite gender.
 
That, after years being convinced that I would NEVER EVER have to visit Decathlon, I may have to resort to their stocks to acquire my new pair, maybe new pair of pair of gloves for everyday, non-dressy occasions.

Don't be silly: there it probably looks right after hanging down after the process of curing... it's the reds of the meat cut that you must visually appreciate... and then, obviously, the smell and taste.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamón_ibérico

If you are not a vegetarian and it is a genuine, certified product, it should be a good buy.
Damn, 350 pounds for importing and peddling it out at M&S.

Oh, it's "bellota" ham from Guijuelo: it's supposed to be gastronomically da shit but, again, it all ultimately depends on your taste... lots of people would vomit on osetra caviar.

Here: they tell you how to cut it properly :mrgreen:



More about what you would be buying.

My parents have been around tonight and my mom says she could hear me snore very peacefully from across the corridor... which means I must have been a pig :cool: :mrgreen:
