Forgot to mention, Chopin was her favorite to play.

That's endearing about your country husband

I learned my love for classical when I was around 10. My parents had friends in N. Dallas that had a fancy home and two Mercedes in the garage. I would sit in their cars and listen to classical music. If I went to bed while there, I would listen to classical music on the intercom system

Yes big fan of classical. Grew up with it & we had a piano both my sister & I took lessons.

Passacaglia is my current favorite & I would love to learn how to play it.

I like many different kinds of music, Folk, Blues, Bluegrass, Rock,Funk, New Age, Gregorian Chant, Irish, Italian (Andrea Bocelli), Greek, Middle Eastern, Reggae,Jazz, Oldies, Motown DoWop. I don't care for Rap or Country.

I also enjoy some Classical music, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite and Swan Lake. I like Vivaldi's Four Seasons and at our wedding my music choices were Vivaldi's Spring, Pachelbel's Canon in D, Ave Maria and Paul Stookey's Wedding Song.

My mom was a classical violinist, and we had classical music playing constantly in our home. I had little interest in listening to the popular genre even as a teen. Certainly not today. I enjoy Celtic folk music, old style C&W, some "elevator" music types but nothing jarring.

Vivaldi, Pachebel, Bolero and 1812 Overture by the Boston Pops.

I like Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and I love Bach's Chamber music. I also like West Coast Jazz (Jerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond) and I love gospel music and contemporary classical. I did like Rock music when I was a teen and I probably still would but nobody does rock any longer. It's all that nasty stuff about b*tc*es and *hose. Now that I am losing my hearing, music is not something I could learn to like as far as another genre. So I like what I have always liked.

I love hearing your choices and experiences.

My husband plays guitar, classical and rock, knows hundreds of songs, and I had 11 years of classical piano lessons, all aimed at a college major, which of course I didn't do. But I love playing! I love listening to many types of piano music. Except that "New Age" piano pieces that meander around and goes nowhere.

So we do listen to a lot of piano and classical guitar. I remember hearing piano from a cd and good speakers for the first time and could have cried for joy. It was as the piano was in the room. The Year of the Cat was my first digital recording experience! Amazing!

I also learned to love a lot of hillbilly and bluegrass late in life. Osborne Brothers doing Rocky Top is one example, and some of the banjo (at heart don't like the banjo, but appreciate a lot of the phenomenal playing). Also like "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and the Allman Brothers and such!
