Of course not!. Mozart can be tedious!. You like what you like and you also need to realize that Mozart and Bach and Bartok were all just making a living!. Some of their work is beyond genius but some is pedantic and boring!. Appreciation of art does not always mean you like or dislike it!. It means you understand what the artist is trying to convey and the circumstances under which the art was created!. Anyone who says they like everything a composer ever did or even every composer of a period really doesn't know what they are talking about!. I guarantee the composers themselves didn't like every piece they ever created!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Music is very personal!. It expresses the composer and performer's feelings!. If you like Bach you can call yourself a classical without loving all the oldies!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
