As long as they don't change their music, I don't really see why I would stop liking them.

That would explain it. :)

The only one I didn't study (or, actually, listen to) was Wagner. Which means, I should probably listen to some...any suggestions? Fugues! Although is there just one in D minor? Bach's written so many piece of church music; it explained a lot when I found out he'd been required to write a piece a week.

:D

Ohhh! Er, people don't like to admit they like Wagner because Hitler loved his music and used it as perennial German achievement. So Yeah. :( But his music is amazing, he's like a later Tchaikovsky. There's Ride of the Valkyries (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V92OBNsQgxU), of course. Tristan and Isolde (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UQrOIa7coc), Funeral March (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a53s4jyCqqU) and Flying Dutchman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJtrXqRu9K8) (gets me every time). :D Enjoy!

*cringe* I see why now. But as soon as you hear the music, you can tell so easily it's Romantic--so much force, sometimes broody, with nothing like the Classical structure. I love the massive contrast. (And also how one of the commenters said it was the precursor to heavy metal xD)
