Does anyone have dreams or nightspells in which they are hearing amazing classical music.

My viola teacher gave me his copy of the prokofiev piano conertos done by Andre Previn, and I've been listening to them a lot trying to understand them. They have been pretty difficult pieces for me. So far I have enjoyed the concerto no 4 for the left hand a lot, the last movement has some...
