The Young Person's Guide To Music Appreciation

A friend of mine posted a Facebook Facecloth message, saying she is DJing tonight and has no idea what records to play, asking for tips on what “the kids” are listening to these days.

I replied: “It's not what the kids are listening to, it's what they should be made to listen to. I recommend Scriabin's ‘Poem Of Ecstasy’, Op.54.”
