Just try one out... the only thing that's poisoning the air is other composers' negativity, as usual! =)
Would it be "poisoning the air with negativity" to guide a new piano student into learning Minuet in G by Bach as opposed to a difficult Hungarian Rhapsody by Franz Liszt?

Or would it simply be prudent?

Perhaps you've never had students leave music simply because they've been pushed to hard too fast. I'd reckon all but a few people on here can do this - but all could do it if they worked on simpler music first. Basic harmony, voice leading and 2 part writing.
