Listening to this was SO FASCINATING TO ME because I'm used to thinking of all, um, "classical" music as all sounding more or less the same and all more or less boring, and not differentiating by composer. Which, I mean, in my defense when a person is not particularly familiar with an entire musical genre it's easy for it all to sound the same, and I experienced the same sort of thing before I figured out how to like rock music and pop music.

But it turns out my enjoyment of the Debussy song on the Haydn playlist was not a fluke, I genuinely like Debussy!

And I liked the Ravel song at the end too - it sounds to me a lot more structured than the Debussy pieces but it's still fun and interesting.

I still doubt this'll ever be my first choice of thing to listen to, but I'm glad to have discovered some appreciation for this sort of music as well. Thank you.

(and I'm sorry about being so woefully behindhand in listening to this and commenting!)
