If you won $1.000.000, what music would you listen to?

[rappy]

Specific works, if you want.
Beethoven 7? Dvorak 8? Don Juan? Italian Symphony?

[Mark]

The music of my dancing feet!

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

I would sponsor performances of Havergal Brian's music.

[Lethevich]

I could buy all those obscure HIP Haydn baryton trio discs that go OOP five minutes after being released 0:)

Beethoven 7? Dvorak 8? Don Juan? Italian Symphony?

Why, exactly, would the fact that you won a million bucks matter?

Thomas

[karlhenning]

I really don't understand the question.  What does the $million have to do with it?

(Ah! I see that Thos got there first.)

I don't understand it either.  I wouldn't change my listening habits at all but would buy the best music system money could buy.

[DavidRoss]

The vote makes no sense (but then they seldom do and most of us know these things are just idle amusements for those inclined to enjoy such things).

If we won a million then it would put us in a better position for early retirement and part-time work, so we would probably have more time and maybe a little more money to spend attending performances. 

[Szykneij]

I believe the OP wants to know what music you would use to celebrate your good fortune.

I'd finish writing Symphony No. 1, and hire an orchestra to play it with tape running.

[rappy]

Why, exactly, would the fact that you won a million bucks matter?

I mean the moment just after you've won the million. Music which would represent your mood!
You certainly would say: Oh, dear, I've won a million! Come on, Shosta 14 now, life can't be pleasing.

[mahler10th]

I'd finish writing Symphony No. 1, and hire an orchestra to play it with tape running.

I would pay a high level sound recording crew to do the recording and give Karl his tape back, then I would start a new Classical Label called 'Passion' with Henning as the first exciting artiste on his acceptance.

You certainly would say: Oh, dear, I've won a million! Come on, Shosta 14 now, life can't be pleasing.

Okay - then I'd play the final movement of Brian's Ninth.

[Keemun]

Beethoven's Ninth, last movement.

[rappy]

Additionally i would also like to know what you'd turn on if an ecological disaster would annihilate the human race - apart from you, being the only person left on earth.

[mahler10th]

Million Dollars:  Gorecki - Amen   

Ecological Disaster:  Pederecki - Threnody...

[karlhenning]

I mean the moment just after you've won the million. Music which would represent your mood!

Henning, Alleluia in A-flat, Opus 33

[DavidRoss]

I mean the moment just after you've won the million. Music which would represent your mood!

Ah....maybe Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony...or perhaps the Hallelujah Chorus

[Opus106]

Additionally i would also like to know what you'd turn on if an ecological disaster would annihilate the human race - apart from you, being the only person left on earth.

C'mon, that's just the desert island question scaled by a factor of...um 12000, or something.

  What music would I listen to? ..... WAGNER  0:), WAGNER  0:) and more WAGNER  0:)...THE GOD OF OPERA..........WITHOUT QUESTION WAGNER THE GOD OF OPERA  0:)!


  If I won a $1,000,000 I'd buy a front row seat at Wagner's Opera House in Bayreuth.  On that seat I would have the following inscribed:

  THIS SEAT BELONGS TO MARVIN BROWN  DON'T YOU DARE SIT HERE!!!!
