Learning to appreciate Western Classical Music

Do you think a 2-day workshop of four hours on Appreciating Western Classical music is enough? Well I do not. Nevertheless, I enrolled and Sunit Tandon did his best to do justice to the topic. It was an introduction no doubt, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I've found that my favourite composers are from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods. When I mention some of them, you'll know why. Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Wagner, Verdi, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Strauss all belong within these periods. Their music simply opens up another dimension of the mind from which I'm loathe to return. Music can simply feed your soul and make you expand beyond known dimensions. See, its turned me into a poet and it'll do the same for you!!!
