Perhaps the best we can do is show them a good role model and find a way to pique their interest in these beautiful timeless classics of the years gone by. Thank you for your comment and for your information on Sir Norman Wisdom - I will look into it. Hi Pat, I don’t have children but I can imagine it is with the crazy world around them.

I recently saw the <a href="//www.helenjamesproductions.co.uk/sir-norman-wisdom”" rel="nofollow">last Sir Norman Wisdom Interview</a> which brought back a flood of memories as he was truely a master of comedy but like you say trying to get the children of today to appreciate that is virtually impossible It is so hard to get the kids of today to appreciate the talents of people in different music and comedy backkgrounds and eras.

I am only a year late....(Gosh so sorry)! It would be nice to have classical anything taught at schools but how can we get those kids to appreciate it? Maybe someday.

Thank you for your comment Ralph. Teach those kids about Mozart and Beethoven so they turn a deaf ear to the "crap" that is called Music on MTV (is that still the TV channel they watch?? I am happily ignorant of all TV world)! I live in the extremes, and welcome it with open arms. Thank you for your comment Ralph.

Lets face it .. who much undereducated youth love classical music. I am 28 years and have 3 kids. You must educate them in order to assure that they do not become 50cent lovers.

I will immediately make the correction on "All by myself", and my husband and I share your love of the classical music. I certainly would not generalize all youth's taste in music in one category and I am sure Ralph will agree we have excellent taste of music in our younger generation too. Merci encore une fois!

Just thought you would fix that up. As a side note you may recognize the Adagio Sostenuto part of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto N° 2, which is also in the "All by Myself" original song if I recall well. Wonderful melody indeed. Also the piece Joo plays in "Rachmaninoff had big hands" is Rachmaninov's Prelude opus 3 n°2. Probably the most widely known piece for piano by Sergei R. @Ralph: although it tends to be true, this is not a general fact. I, for example, am 24 and I've been interested in classical and jazz music since I was 3, and really started to love that when I turned 14. So yeah, it's definitely a matter of education, as well as something related to the media (read: damned television). Cheers.
