Tchaikovsky and Bach are the best composers of all time, Bach's music restructures your mind to be more intelligent and wise, idk who the crap these other folk are but their music don't match. Not all classical musicians are good, even if you like classical music. I've heard of and listened to most of this obviously, they put it on for a lot of babies an shit, school, movies, who knows how we find it all, but I'm not interested in most of these bloaks. Idk what you would call my interest, but both Bach and Tchaikovsky pique my interest, so there's a for sure synergy between the two, even though they are different, something is exactly the same and idk what it is lol. It's like, idk I think all the differences between all the notes in both their work is very naturally achieved, like some people are natural at something, because they learned it right. But they created music that makes YOU feel like a natural at whatever your doing while listening to it. And it lifts up your mind to the best and divine things in the universe. They both do that, even though they are not close in the measure of time, they were close in a lot of other ways. Heck, when Bach was alive they didn't even have timing in music, just slow to fast, no metronomes, it's really fun to see how people translate that because some peoples will be better if the player is better, plus you get to learn about how they translate Bach. Definitely the greatest. No doubt. They literally don't make music like that anymore.

When I was younger, Chopin was my favorite composer, though I also enjoyed other composers like Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Prokofiev, Schubert, Saint-Saens, Mozart, Wagner, etc. I also used to find Bach's works to be dry and tiresome. Bach's unrivaled brilliance for harmony eventually dawned on me when I was in my late teens, and since then, my musical tastes have become extremely specialized, with Bach being the only composer I listen to exclusively. His organ compositions, inventions and cantatas are my lifeblood.

I have a feeling the personality for Shostakovich (my FAVORITE, and also I am 18 and studying music…) is categorizing some sort of stereotype, but no matter what he’s still incredible! I recommend Symphonies 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 15 for those who are interested or have just touched the surface of his music, such as Symphony 5 (is that the stereotype? Those who have only heard his 5th Symphony, and have not delved into his other works which many are more of his style? I can’t tell.. )
