classical music Options

[misoshiru]

hah. well, i've noticed that there wasn't a classical music topic up here, and i just had to post one. i know a lot of you play instruments, and most of you have heard classical music before. so what's your general view of classical music, and who are you favorite composers/pieces.

to answer my own questions,
being a piano and clarinet play myself, i've been living with classical music ever since i was very little. my parents exposed me to classical music as much as they could, and i thank them for it. i love all kinds of music, classical included. it'll always be a large part of my life.
my favorite composers are beethoven, chopin, tchaikovsky, holst, and a lot more.

[yeseulx3]

i agree. classical music is sooo soothing! My mom hates it and it drives her nuts. She thinks I listen to it to annoy her (which i did purposely at first) but then I started to like it.

[*jooleeah*]

I occasionally listen to classical music. It's beautiful. I love listening to it....it's so soothing.

I used to play the piano. I quit x[ I play the violin, though.

[*nightmare4taki*]

I used to play the piano but I quit. I like playing classical music on the piano but I mostly play hip hop beats on the Piano. I can listen to the notes and know what key it is on the Piano.

[Saeglopur]

I play the cello and I like Bach and Chopin ... Yeah.

[Domonic]

I listen to it often. Very relaxing.

I love to fall asleep listening to Bach or Mozart..amongst other classical music.

[to-devastate]

I play the piano and the violin. I listen to classical sometimes. Heh. Some of my favorite composers are probably Beethoven, Bach (though it's hard.), Mozart, & Tchaikovsky(sp?).

[silver-rain]

I like classical music. I like anything Bach, Mozart or Beethoven. My favorite classical piece would have to be Canon in D by Pachelbel.

[mickybeans]

just like you, i love all types of music- classical included. i was once a clarinet player myself but i quit after the 7th grade due to some problems with my band instructor. i love classical music, i constantly listen to it while studying- my 8th grade teacher once told me that it's "brain music". ;)

[DanielleMaria05]

I love classical music. I wish I had more. its just so calming. I love listening to it while I'm driving in heavy traffic that I hate. It keeps me from ramming the person in front of me.

[glit_gal]

i only listen to it for relaxation...or else it would put me to sleep. My math teacher would always have classical music on in his class, hmm i wonder if that's why i did so well in his class.

[jenika]

i like yuki kuramoto, bach, tchaikovsky...
classical music rockss

[angelrevelation]

i dont listen to classical music (by choice) but i still think it's really nice if i hear it. i dont really know any in particular, but i love the nutcracker songs (by tchaikovsy) and i'm playing "Spring Song" by Mendelhson (sp?) on the piano and its really really pretty

[[o0p]]

i dont listen to classical music ;;well like once a year i will (:*

[xTINAA]

I love classical music although I don't really know composers or the titles. But I love it. I really like Canon. I was supposed to learn it on the piano right before I quit

[WhiteLotus*]

I really don't know any composers/pieces.

But there's this radio station that plays all classical music. I love it. I listen to it when I feel upset or when I'm doing my homework.

[iliang86]

im a cello performance major. haha. i live and breathe classical music. its boring at times, but it can also be really fun

[redpeony]

i like Claude Debussy. his pieces are a challenge but fun and unlike anything else.

[heyyfrankie]

i think that classical music is very nice, calming, relaxing and beautiful but will you will never see me sitting in my room listening to it on a regular basis. but in 6th grade, we had to do this thing called music memory and we had to memorize composers, musical pieces, and how the pieces sounded. my favorite was always PACHEBEL(sp?): CANON IN D MAJOR.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I love classical music. It's sad that when I say that, people around me cringe. I've never played a really "dignified" instrument, but I did play the drums. I'm trying to move on to the guitar.

[*Kathleen*]

Thank you for making this topic! I love classical music. I love to listen to it when I'm studying. My favorites are Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin, but my ultimate favorite has to be Mozart. I mean, gotta love child prodigies, no? Hehe. I used to play the clarinet for three years or so until I discovered the guitar and Guns N Roses. My sister's been playing the piano for three years now I believe. I agree with many of you - classical music is so relaxing.

[Saeglopur]

^ AND SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY WITH!

[*Azarel*]

Classical music is beautiful; Bach is definitely my personal favorite, with his cello suites.. <3

[the_crox]

I'm not really playing lots of class.... my teacher's making me learn romantic songs like the uh.... Ballade Adeline <sp? & vera's theme... the only class i can play is the whole fur elise. I lke the second part....

[i can break]

I love Classical Music. I play the viola. My favorite composers are Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel.

classical music isnt bad. they are very good and skilled. especially the piano plays are wonderful. i dont know why some people make fun of them cuz they seem old. its the root of music

[gigiopolis]

Anything by Claude Debussy or Chopin. I swear, I could not live without their music. Right now I'm playing First Arabesque, and words cannot explain how beautiful that piece is. Chopin...I just love him. I love how much emotion and freedom there is, unlike the mechanical exactness of Bach and the concrete Sonata cycles of Classical composers.

I like a select Beethoven sonatas and symphonies and VERY LIMITED Bach pieces. Baroque is...not my forte.

[kandeep9]

Classical music is awesome. =]. I play the violin...

Favorite songs:
Double Concerto in D Minor - Allegro by Bach [<3]
Canon in D Minor by Pachelbel

Thanks for making this post! I never would've thought of it.

:::Edit:::
Oh yeah! I absolutely LOVE the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack. Anyone who hasn't listened to it before...do so!

[F_L_I_P]

Recent composers are Gary Gilroy, Frank Ticheli, Carter Pann, and of course the man, John Williams.

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

i play the piano, my first teacher used to make me listen to whatever composer i was reading about in my great composers workbook. (who else has em!? haha)
i hated it then, but now i love to bust out all of the tapes her and my mom made me.

vivaldi, mozart, copland, debussy, and beethoven are probably my 5 favorite composers.

Currently I'm playing First Arabesque by Debussy, a study by Rachmaninoff and a Schumann.

I love classical piano music. <33

[WHOngos144]

I play the piano

[ParanoidAndroid]

I play the violin. I can do vibrato! yeay! lol congrats for me!

To be honest, I've been playing te violin for 3 years and I still don't know any composers besides Mozart, Beethoven, and Sebastian Bach . I never check the composers. I just play. The only classical i really liked was "Allegro Spiritoso", "Sonata Vivant", and "Symphony No. 4". Cuz those are my mastered pieces.

[oneandonlytammie]

I play classical saxophone (jazz too!...but this is a classical topic ).

I hate playing Vivaldi! Gah!

I'm currently working on a piece called Scaramouche. Anyone heard of it?

I can do vibrato!

Lol. Congrats! I vibrato!

[*mipadi*]

Bach had some nice oboe pieces. I'm not terribly concerned with specific composers, but I like hearing a good oboe solo.

[SlurpeeVolleyGUr...]

Its good....as long as my sister isnt playing it! She playes the Violen! ahhhh

[robynleigh626]
