And by the way, congratulations for discovering classical music on your own.   The more who come to it, the better, no matter what route they take to get there.

Some of us were lucky enough to grow up with it--but as I said, that's just luck.    For me all the Beethoven symphonies, all the Brahms symphonies, Symphonies 3, 4, and5 by Mendelssohn,and most of the Tchaikovsky symphonies, as well all the Beethoven piano concertos, lots of Mozart piano concertos, all the Mozart violin concertos--- and a huge host of other classical music--- are old friends.   And you can't have too many friends.

If somebody says I'm a snob for loving so much classical music, somehow I can live with that--it's their loss that they don't like classical.
