My piano teacher at my school is considering having our class of 10 as a collective play the Goldberg variations for our winter recital, with 3 variations a piece.
I hope to god he doesn't do it, I hate playing Bach, and Gould's rendition of them has scared me out of my wits.

I honestly don't understand history's obsession with preserving Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, and Bach over all other composers. None of them are bad composer. Bach, especially, is really fun to listen to. I just don't feel they are truly amazing in the face of composers later which have evolved the sound of orchestral composition by lightyears.
Not to dis those guys, I just feel people need to dig a little bit deeper in the genre. I honestly am not that well versed in it. But, I think a lot of people are cheated out by it. It's almost as if you made a time capsule, and chose only to put Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson, and Eric Clapton on the list expecting it to represent the entire plethora of stylistic quirks that consist of modern guitar for the past two centuries. Updated List: 1. Bela Bartok 2. Franz Lizst 3. Rimsky-Korsokov 4. Gyorgi Ligeti 5. Sergei Rachmaninov Special Mentions: Domenico Scarlatti, Edgard Varese, Igor Stravinsky, Harry Partch, Tchaikovsky, and Ravel.
