I am bemused as to how someone can like germanic romantic symphonies for
instance and yet not like Russian, French, British, Scandinavian, American
etc ones. Still each to their own.
Before I can have further thoughts on this I need to know something.
Are you saying that Nick insists on tradition when it comes to
Austro-German music but is not so picky when it comes to other music? Or
are you saying he only likes Austro-German music? Or are you saying that
he likes all music played in the Austro-German tradition regardless of
its origin?
Sorry if I'm being a bit thick here. Look at the time of this message.
