Swan Lake
I don't consider myself the biggest fan of music. There exists a few good pieces that I like or use as space filler, but my iPod is basically a dust-attractor. But if I have to choose a genre of music that I like, then I would pick classical music. Strange? Some people tell me "yes, it's strange that you like classical music." Okay, so classical music is not the most popular music around anymore, but I think that, in general, classical music is definitely the best music around. After all, somethings do not stay around for centuries unless people see great value in them. Not long ago, Google features a doodle tribute to Tchaikovsky depicting a scene from a ballet. A spark went off in my head! One of my favorite band is 12 Girls Band (女子十二楽坊), which consists of...12 girls. They are a Chinese music group performing instrumental music on traditional Chinese instruments. Aside from traditional Chinese music, they also play western music and popular songs. Thus, the connection to Tchaikovsky is formed.
