I often get asked
What is your favourite piece of music?
It is a question I cannot answer
As I love so much music.
My normal answer is
The piece I am listening to,
Listening to at the moment.
There is a saying though
That in music there are four,
Four composers you must like.
The first is Bach,
Johann Sebastian Bach,
The man who brought music to all.
And then there is Beethoven,
Ludwig van Beethoven,
A man who brought wonder,
Wonder in music.
Then there is Mozart,
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
A composer ahead of his time
Who brought so much joy and glory,
Joy and glory to us all.
Finally there is one more,
And that composer is your favourite,
The one that you go back to,
Back to time and time again.
But in my mind there are so many,
So in answer to that question,
What is your favourite piece of music?
It is the piece I am listening to,
Listening to at the moment.

As the author implies it changes all the time, whatever you feel like listening to at that time, lovely write
It certainly does change all the time Tobani and that is what is so good about listening to music.

This reply I am tempted to copy paste. Why are there so many to choose from!? Perhaps that’s a blessing in disguise 🙏🏻🕊️
It is a blessing arqios, music brings so much love to us.
Andy
A divine blessing even🙏🏻🕊
A poem with a very good point that I agree with and who I am listening to depends upon my mood and sometimes that mood is set by the piece that I am listening to.
Very true soren music can bring all moods to our lives.
