I first fell in love with classical music when i was in the high school. Like many of those who love classical music, i was introduced into this fantastic world via the annual Vienna New Year's Concert in which only the music of Strauss family is played. I was so charmed by the elegance and beauty of Johann Strauss II's music that i couldn't help listening to it over and over again. But before long, i realized that his music was nothing but the pop music in his time, so i decided to have something that deserves more and longer listening. Fortunately i reached the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, who is still one of my favorite composers now along with Johannes Brahms and Gustav Mahler. i also love the music from many other composers such as J.S. Bach, Chopin, Wagner, Bruckner, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Rachmaninov, Debussy, R. Strauss, et al.
