What is a Romantic?

324.7? I thought it was 342.7! Perhaps I'm dislexic, which may be a sign of my old age.

With Brahms, I always feel that performing Brahms is better than listening. The symphonies, however, are just God Awful. I can't see how that crud is actually taken seriously.
I must admit, though, playing some of the intermezzos makes me very relaxed, but I can't listen to other people playing them. And singing in the requiem made me cry (during the dress rehearsal and the performance), but then I hear the piece, and I just feel so empty. The only pieces that I really like both listening and playing are the 4-hand waltzes and the hungarian rhapsodies transcriptions, but those aren't serious pieces for him. That's probably why I like them. To me, he only composed about 3 "serious" pieces. Everything else are just variations.
I'm fececious (sp. check), though. Don't take me seriously. I don't! XD
