Mitch Friedfeld responds to Janos Gereben: >> Can you remember the first piece of classical music that >> inspired you? > > Tchaikovsky 4, especially the finale. Then, the entire piece. With me it was the lovely second movement of that symphony. And I was also enthralled by the Nutcracker Suite (I had one of the first 78 rpm players made after WWII, and I was allowed to use it all by myself even at a very tender age) AND the Dvorak New World Symphony. One of the records of the Dvorak was broken, so I learned the short version.
