People need to shut up and listen to classical music.

In fact, I need to take my own advice and do the same thing.

I do have a good working knowledge of whatever classical composers my parents or my sister like, as well as whatever I've managed to pick up on my own (which is very little). I know Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Handel, Haydn, Prokofiev, Rimsky-Korsakov, Segovia, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, and quite probably some other composers quite well.

Is this enough? I say no.

...looks like I'm off to go do research on Russian composers, because there ain't nuthin' better than Russians! Ever. (Except maybe Czechs. Oh, choices... so hard.)
