Ruby Wrote:Keith Emerson's "Piano Concerto No 1". I've been listening to it fairly regularly lately, and finding it quite uplifting. It 'works' for me despite some controversy over whether or not it's actually any good. Depends who's listening IMHO!I quite liked it. Thanks for sharing. In an odd way it reminded me of Gabriel Faure--not in the particulars of the music, but in the difficulty of being accepted as "real" music as compared with being just a bunch of musical sketches strung together. "Pretty" music always faces an uphill struggle. If I'm mistaken, please correct me gently; I admit to lack of knowledge in this area.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Faur%C3%A9
