Personally, I find looking at artifacts in museums fascinating, and artistically stimulating.

So do I, hence my love of old music. They are examples of a distant world i could never relate to thus making them all the more intriguing.

Here's one some may not know and yet appreciate: Liebermann's Piano Sonata No.3

My favorite modern piano sonata is the Ives Concord Sonata, a wonderful musical kaleidoscope of dissonance and haunting hymns and American tunes.

This is a sonata that is as fine as any piano sonata that Beethoven ever wrote.

Oh, how I wish Charles Ives devoted himself full time to composing.
