Hello my name is Caridad Torres, and I am new to the list. I have found a new intrest in classical music because of my music teacher. I am only 17 and soon I will be leaving for college. I plan to take classical music as a minor so that I can learn more about it. So far I find the various composers to play with such compassion. They present the music so beautifully. Right now I am not sure which one is my favorite, but I have found beathoveen to be the most intresting one of them all. He not only created beautiful music when he was able to hear, but he created music with power and strenght. But if you know of any great composers please let me know so that I can learn more about the beauty of classical music. Sincerely, Caridad Torres
