I know her political opinions are controversial nowadays but what Valentina Lisitsa says about Schubert sonatas is completely on point - I've never seen a better explanation.

1. U Chicago

4. Old Dominion

I don't remember what colleges sent me the most mail but I do remember receiving some very nice books (not pamphlets, books) from a couple Ivy League institutions. I don't remember what was in them necessarily, I think just a lot of recruitment pictures and other irrelevant junk.

It's not just the forums that are getting deserted these days. A lot of people don't even check their emails anymore... It feels like everything is on social media now.
