music

I started listening to classical music in my late 20s. Violin pieces are my favorite. I started with classical because I needed music without words while I programmed. Nowadays I listen to it for the pure joy of listening. I got started with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. I thought that was the best piece of music ever conceived by humans. I used to argue with my wife (a music major) about how Vivaldi was better than Tchaikovsky....

A typical conversation between my wife and I: Playing Ne Me Quitte Pas by Nina Simone Yoshi : Ow! What is that abomination? Amjith: It’s a french song sung by the great Nina Simone. Yoshi : It’s a woman? Sounded like a dude singing in falsetto. Yoshi: I’m leaving the room if you don’t change the song. Amjith: FINE. You play something then. Yoshi puts on Ave Maria by Pavarotti. I wait for 2 mins....
