Hi Guys,
i love classic music and listen classic music
I listen to it from time to time

classical music is perfectly fine while doing homework/studying…my friend did a science fair experiment on that and it showed that classical music helps.

I have the impression that more and more except in upper class families people and their children don't seem to appreciate classical music. That's a pity I think.

Looking for some more Olde Englishe organs to post, in so doing found another John Stanley Op 2 Concerto; minor problem NPOR say it's Op2 No 1, whereas my CD has it as Op2 No 4, who to believe? As the CD has all 6 concertos of Op 2 on it I tend to take their word.

Actually, I performed this morning with a choral group various pieces by Rachmaninoff, Chesnokoff, Lvov, and Turchaninoff at the Patriarchal Cathedral in Moscow.
