you only think you don't like classical music.

Every week I'm going to be exposing you little cretins to a little bit of high culture. Don't worry, it won't hurt. It's like popular music; you won't like every single composer or artist, but you will have some favorites, and you will research them, listen to more of their music, and love them. You will love them. No question about it.

This is an etude for the piano by Alexander Scriabin. He's a russian romantic composer, and he wrote really depressing music. He was just a sad guy, really. Pianist is Vladimir Horowitz. Have fun.
