I find some sublime moments in the music of Mozart, but I find I only
enjoy playing Mozart...even if I stumble across the notes. For me,
Mozart was a great intellect who wrote music that leaves me cold.
Perhaps because it is so refined.
In one of the psychology books I read, it stated something...one of
the best ways to develop intimacy is to be open to expressing one's
vulnerabilities...I don't find Mozart's music expressing vulnerability.
