Well friends, this is the end of our journey together – the last passion blog post. I hope you’ve enjoyed my corny puns and memes along the way (or at least been able to roll your eyes and move on). I also hope that you’ve learned something from my writing about these fascinating artists. And […]

Passion #6: Gershwinning
So as I’m sure you college students all know, it is almost time for finals. Personally, I have four exams in the next two weeks (yippee), so I might make this piece a little shorter than normal. But don’t worry, I’m still going to talk about a fascinating composer! Also, since it’s almost the end […]
Passion #5: Rockin’ Rachmaninov
(https://www.violinist.com/blog/Terez/20172/21000/) Sorry for the lack of a good pun in the title this week – Rachmaninov doesn’t really lend itself to any easy puns. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You might’ve noticed by now… but I’m kind of biased toward the Romantic era composers. But also, they’re awesome, given the power and emotional strength of their music. So […]
Passion #4: Your Weekly PlayLiszt is Here!
(https://www.memecreator.org/template/music-liszt) Have I ever told you guys how much I love Romantic composers? I really do. Like a lot. As a piano player, I often feel that their music is what I aspire to play because somehow, they can convey so much emotion in just a handful of notes. Especially in the cases of Chopin […]
Passion #3: Get In Loser, We’re Going Chopin
(https://me.me/i/get-in-loser-were-going-chopin-badtastebb-<p>solid-pun<-p>-22290447) I had to throw in a Mean Girls pun at some point. So, you guys might be wondering… Why haven’t I written about the Classical Period composers? Where are Beethoven and Mozart? Don’t I think they’re important? Absolutely, I think they are important. They changed classical music from religious, rigid compositions to […]
Passion #2: Too Hot to Handel
Welcome back to another edition of my blog! This week, we will focus on George Frideric Handel, truly one of the greats, and not just because of his luscious locks. I mean come on, that must’ve taken hours. Handel was born in Germany in 1685, the same year as Bach, interestingly enough. As a […]
Passion #1: Terminator and a Toccata… He’ll Be Bach
Hey guys! Welcome to my first real passion blog post! Even though most of you probably don’t know the difference between Schubert and Schumann (which probably hasn’t impacted your life very much) and may not really care, I’m going to try to educate you about some unknown tidbits of classical music that might just […]
