Thank you. I hope those shimmers and sparkles will help peeps see themselves with clarity, without illusions and without confusion. Doubtful, but always worth a try. {I think some have moles (eyes) in their soles, lol.}

But who is 'he', and what do you mean by that beauty, and what is that ugliness? Sorry, don't get it. Could you, please, explain it to me. I didn't understand what you wanted to say. oh sorry, ... by he I was referring to Aaron Copland. Was beauty the right word? ... hmmm ... maybe so, maybe not. Let me know if you're curious about the irony part! (the explanation would encompass the reference to ugliness...) (and thanks again for the links!)Oh, I see. Thank you for explaining. Sure, I am curious about the irony part.

Copland wrote that piece by request. The intent was to express in music the moment in time that was the entry of the US into WWII. The conflict (WWII) is the ugliness that I was referring to. The irony is that something so inspirational could come of such a moment, but of course, in the final analysis, there is no real surprise there.

Never really liked Rachmaninov, until I heard this...

yeah that was really really subtle and layered.
Speak softly ... even in a whisper if you have to ... if you want to get peoples attention.

Never really liked Rachmaninov, until I heard this... Oh, yes, this Prelude is also my favorite. C# Minor. And here is one more, so beautiful! Op.23 No.5, G Minor.

Arisha, I must admit to tastes that run a bit more toward the saccharine compared with yours ;D .... oh well! So with that, I now let my one-sided fun-flag fly and channel my inner bliss-bunny in offering the "let it be" of classical music:

The issue on the table before us is what particular movements cause enlightenment to occur reveal the secrets of the universe and which don't??

So with that, I now let my one-sided fun-flag fly and channel my inner bliss-bunny in offering the "let it be" of classical music: Ah, yes, Beethoven. Time for a story... When I was, oh, about 10, I guess, I'd heard part of a Beethoven symphony on the radio, and as though I'd just taken my first snort of cocaine, I had to have more. I didn't know what it was, exactly (not like it had lyrics or title), all I had to go on, was someone's comment that it 'sounds like Beethoven'. So, I went to the library (this was back when people still went to libraries), and checked out every Beethoven symphony. Every day, after school, I came home, and listened. By the time I returned them, I was convinced that this was the greatest music ever created. Certainly, the best I'd ever heard. And so, of all the symphonies, and in the humble opinion of public-school-education kid of LBJ's Great Society, the 5th is the best. It is Beethoven, peaking. Particularly the Allegro ... ... then, the Presto ...

I feel this is necessary in a thread titled 'music.'
Also I feel it's hilarious in the current context.
