"My knowledge of the classical repertoire is so fluent I can't write an objective review. How does one write a review of Beethoven's Violin Concerto? We've all heard it 234,565,325 times. I guess I could just critique the performance and not the piece. That'll work. Oh, how I wish someone would put on a concert of art music I don't already have memorized, or perhaps have never even heard before (GASP)! What I would give to critique unfamiliar music!"
