“Any number of classical music lovers will tell you with glee of the bad pieces they love to hate. But people who will tell you about pieces they hate to love, but love anyway, are somewhat more rare. Saying you’ve got a thing for Brahms’ Hungarian Dances Nos. 4 and 5, for instance, especially if you’ve ever gone anywhere near a music school, is particularly dangerous – but only if you mean it sincerely. Irony does exist in classical music, but it’s mostly in the ears of cynical (younger) beholders.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
