(Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

Musical Preferences
I listen and play many different music styles with love and
passion. This includes rock, hard rock, blues, folk, jazz,
classic, Greek music, world music, country, good pop and
anything in between. Whatever it is, it needs to come from
human beings classified as musicians. It would not be art if
intention, meaning and expression were missing. I was taught:
Art = Form + Content (Meaning)
Music = Melody + Harmony + Rhythm
Therefore I prefer live music (though I still do not go to enough
concerts) or live recordings (with or without audience).
