“Chopin is pretty great. I feel like Chopin tries to put such a wide range of emotions in almost all of his pieces. For instance, the Polonaise-Fantasie is really good; it has really explosive, bombastic moments, but it also has such intimate melodies at times–beautiful but simple. I think beautiful music is beautiful just existing for its own sake. The emotions I get, I can’t find anywhere else.” -Daniel Stewart ’19
