i like listening to my recording of ravel's la valse. my sister doesn't like it when the orchestra gets too loud. she makes me turn the volume down when it's too loud. so, i can't hear it anymore when the orchestra goes to pianissimo. she can't understand that the music must have its fortes and fortissimos and sforzandos and pianos and pianissimos. it must have its cymbal clashes and piercing brasses and dissonant chords and gentle oboe solos and sinister double bass pizzicatos.
