>Wagner was very interested in the music of other composers. He listened carefully and he formed his opinions carefully.
>Wagner had some of Brahms’s pieces played for him to help him develop a taste for them, but he never succeeded. The academic mask over Brahms’s pieces repelled him. “If Brahms sounded as good as Beethoven, he could be a great composer too!”
>In the following year Cosima quoted Wagner as saying, “I recently read that [the critic] Hanslick had spoken of Beethoven’s naïveté. A donkey like that can have no idea of the wisdom of genius, which, though it comes and goes like lightning, is the highest there is. One could, rather, call Mozart naïve because he worked in forms he did not create himself – only what he said within them was his own. But what do these people know of the enraptured state of a productive artist.”
>About Mozart and Beethoven, Wagner said: “Thus, in our Art History, the musician (as artist) is initiated into his art from without; Mozart died when he was just piercing the inner mystery. Beethoven was the first to enter wholly in.”

Brahms and Hanslick completely BTFO'd.

Brahms is great, but if you’re hearing music while looking at a book, you’re neither listening nor reading.

Feli Kuti, Ethopian Jazz, any kind of high energy jazz, solo harpsichord music. Nothing lyrical, no romantic era crap.
