Poll: 19th Cent. Classical Romanticism music or Pop?! (Original Post)

OP
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,996 posts)1. I've never heard of either of the pop singers
and I don't like Rossini - he was basically a 19th-century Barry Manilow. That leaves Tchaikovsky; I do like the violin concerto. I generally prefer music before the Romantic period, though. Mozart is better than just about anybody, any time.

(115,996 posts)4. Not a fan of pop, at all; never have been.
I'll stick to the classical composers.

I think of the later Romantics as "High Romanticism."

Did I *SAY* that?!1
ah yup

(17,240 posts)11. No, the concept of a "staid" Beethoven won't fly for me.:)
Mozart, okay, but he wasn't a Romantic.
