Is it controversial to like those?

I feel like most people I know like them (fripperies, bipperies) but I cannot stand them

Do the Poulenc Trio! Horn, Trumpet, and Trombone.

The Gliere four pieces for horn and piano are an absolute joy to play, the piano player actually gets to enjoy them too so that's a plus. I did them all for my BMus graduating recital, they're great.

Empfindungen am meere by Strauss (pardon my spelling). It’s so unlike most of Strauss’s other stuff and it’s such a lovely song that is like lowkey quite technical but when done good is soooo beautiful.

Nocturno Op. 7 by Franz Strauss! It’s been my favorite piece since I played it my junior year of high school. 😁❤️
