Wrote more complicated shit than most of the other composers people generally speak of when they're talking about goat composers and was considered the father of baroque music. |

|
Date: January 10th, 2013 10:16 AM Author: aquamarine field I think of his stuff as a really interesting curiosity. His compositions are intentionally very limited. Nothing else quite gives me the same feeling as listening to the Gymnopedies, but it's a static kind of sensation, at least for me.
I like him, but it's almost as if he's not a "composer" in the same sense as someone like Chopin. |
