In Reply to: Can you remember the first piece of classical music that left an impression and how old were you? posted by Frank Waller on December 4, 2002 at 08:02:46:
I remember listening to opera in the car with my father when I was 5 and 6 years old, but the first significant piece was the 1812 Overture. At 10 I had a newspaper route and Mom and Dad refused to let me listen to my music on Sunday mornings while folding my papers. Classical, though, was acceptable sabbath fare. Finding most of their collection a bit sedate, I eventually stumbled on the 1812 and so for the next 6 months or so I listened to the entire piece every Sunday morning. To this day hearing it floods the old memory bank with the scent of newsprint.
