MariusChamberlin Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 So I'm unloading my books into my dorm, and I realize something. I have a LOT of Beethoven stuff. I mean, it's not secret to me or friends and family that I am OBSESSED with Beethoven, but I didn't realize just how much of my stuff is about him. So I thought I would share, and see if anyone else on here has their own composer "shrine". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morivou Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I have a John Adams shrine, but my stuff is split between my home and here in Indiana. hahah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenite Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Does a massive CD collection plus a Tchaikovsky statuette count as a shrine? EDIT: I guess having a mug with a pic of Mahler does count... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamma Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I share the same sentiments as jrcramer. Obsessions tend to come and go. I have had many obsessions (too many to remember) since I started composing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetzel, Duke of Asmin Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I recently purchased the complete works of J.S.Bach - rather a massive collection of CDs. It's something I've wanted to do for quite some time, but was unable due to the unavailability of said product in my country. For as long as I've listened to good music, Bach has always been my No. 1. Gamma mentioned obsessions;however, mine with Bach is one that has only come, never to leave.

wayne-scales Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 What do you use now ? I get music directly injected into my brain. By science. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treehugger1995 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have never seen a sight more beautiful. You, my friend, have a bookshelf of angels on your hands. But if you think you are too obsessed and want to get rid of them...GIVE THEM TO MEEEE!!!! XD I don't have many books, or scores (but I would like to!) but I do bow down to my score of R. V. Willams' Oboe concerto everyday. p.s. that's one nice Beethoven paper doll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
