Still a bit deaf to much of the nuances - only recently starting to be able to attribute character and narrative and emotion to much of it. I can only start to distinguish, as in a blind test, whose music is whose.
I've listened to some of Mahler, got a record of his seventh symphony I believe from a thrift store a couple years back, but he hasn't solidified for me yet, couldn't really distinguish his work from the work of others.
As of now my favorite classical piece is the second movement of Beethoven's seventh symphony, which I gather is pretty famous and unsurprising so. But I couldn't intuitively pin it down as "allegretto"
I like the grandeur. A grandeur that seems to taunt with a sort of whimsy, perhaps even succumbing to it itself.

And yeah almost whenever Chopin comes up I think of Bukowski. Bukowski was the first poetry I really read.
edit: not that Chopin is any more reflective of Bukowski than Mahler - just an arbitrary association. Playing chopin on some old piano before yielding to the incipient and rumbling beer shits.

But Chopin is someone whom I'm starting to have an easier time distinguishing. The nocturnes, maybe others.

Haven't heard of Whistler before, but a brief glance at the google image results lends the same sort of affects I'd attribute to some of the music, a sort of resting-energy melancholic coolness.

This is the other x factor audition where the brits take it and make it their own. Gives me goose pimples
