I just won't use "most" and "perfect" in the same sentence though. lol
The reason is simple. My life has been beautiful, but perhaps not "most", and surely not "perfect". For that reason, I enjoy more the music that resonates with some of the struggles and anguish, with nice resolutions, if possible.

Another composer's music you may enjoy. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. We have a saying about him: "the problem with Mendelssohn's music is that he has no problem". His life had been smooth-sailing and so it reflects in his music. Check out his Violin Concerto and the Italian Symphony.

Sometimes hyperbole is the best means to start debate or conversation...I may be guilty of this, thanks for your feedback!
