Classical music is such a treasure. Unfortunately, the numbers of those who appreciate it are probably in decline. The immense hatred for all things historical and European only continues to grow. Let us hope the music itself SPEAKS LOUDER and outlasts the hate.

I am a classical pianist, myself, and have always enjoyed all kinds of music (except "rap," modern classical, and other forms of obvious noise that are no akin to real music.) Real music has mathematical precision that resonates with the rational mind.
