Man, this is one crazy thread.

I haven't voted.  You will get wherever you end up in due time. It's a long journey, I've done it myself.

I bet eventually MI will be like Don and spend ... how long did he say he spent? ... listening to nothing but Bach organ works.

I could totally see doing that.

Not until White Nights is done, though.

I don't know Don, but .. I had such a patch. Lots of weird patches. Only renaissance vocal music for a month or so.   I once listened to nothing but string quartets for 3 months. I listened to no middle period Beethoven for about 4 years.

[Karl Henning]

I'd never tell MN Dave so, but, sure:  I go long stretches with no Beethoven.  Probably so that I appreciate him all the more when I deliberately spend time with his music.

I've certainly enjoyed doing that occasionally.

Hear, hear. Heck, I've had long stretched without Janáček, or Stravinsky, or Prokofiev too. Harder to do long stretches without Bach, Chopin, Ravel, Sibelius, Mozart, or Haydn, though.

Speaking of Beethoven, I have a feeling, I'll be revisiting the violin sonatas very soon...

I have gone 30 years without Dittersdorf. I go long stretches without Rachmaninov. I do enjoy him better after a long period off. I go longer without Tchaikovsky, which is really a good thing. I highly recommend it!

I was talking about things I enjoy.

Well, if that serum/vaccine also had a side effect of what would result from undergoing a frontal lobotomy, then maybe.

I mean really, (apart from the proposal to seize a person and give them an injection which will so alter their mental outlook in a way they have not volunteered to undergo), inflicting upon any living thing an 18th century clockwork view of a Newtonian cosmos coupled with perhaps the most dreadfully awful sounding keyboard instrument yet invented is more a matter that needs to be addressed by any and all international human rights organizations.

I am all for a vaccine that, if it doesn't actually bring about a change in the listener to like and love modern and contemporary classical, at least alters them so they no longer complain, whinge, and rage against it, lol.

We just drop children on their head for that.

^ well, I suppose we could try that with M.I., but we'd have to run through it at least a few hundred times - the injection (in the neck) might be more humane.  And who wants to listen to his high-pitched girly-screams on the way down over and over?

I voted NO, but only because of persistent rumors about that serum resulting in adult onset autism and subsequent obsession with French Baroque.

I love threads like this. Especially ones that don't involve me personally.

I have another solution to inject into Mirror Image...one which turns him into a Stockhausen fanatic. Willing to give it a go?

I already like some Xenakis, so you'll just have to put the needle down and let nature take its' course.
