Compared to this piece of music, a breast is as simple and uninviting as a C# played repeatedly on a horrifyingly flat piano. And yet, Sheherazade isn't even the best piece of classical music out there. There are other pieces with more passion, with greater 'shoick tactics' out there. There are pieces that would make a grown man cry. There are pieces that would raise the bloodlust in a 20 pound, 40 year old virgin, and get him screaming and shouting like giant bikers. There are pieces of music out there that will leave you thinking for weeks after hearing them. And one wonders how? How could someone like Beethoven have composed with no hearing? How could he have composed his great symphonies without being able to physically hear the harmonies, and the dischordancy, and the interweaving melodies? How could people like Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Bach, Korsakov compose pieces like they did? In their time they would have had no computers, no equipment that would allow them to play back different parts and bits of tune to see if it all fitted, they did it all in their heads. That is what maks them so great.
So, no, it is not fucking amazing like a breast. it is fucking amazing like a piece of music that can change the world.
