ricardo Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm surprised there is n't a thread for this beauty. Or am I the only one who sometimes listents to moonlight sonata?? Instead of adding thread for Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Haydn etc etc I decided to create one thread. So... do you like classical music? or do you find it boring?

Instead of adding thread for Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Haydn etc etc I decided to create one thread. So... do you like classical music? or do you find it boring? (if so please refrain from posting here) you are right. even if someone could find it difficult, classical music is very important. i do listen to classic music from time to time, i used to listen to it more often some time ago... my fave is the four seasons, i used to listen to it when i was writing and it was very useful. :) i used to like Beethoven and Schubert too. thanks for this thread Ricardo :clap: anyways do you think that there are any artists that could be considered as classic? eg: some orchestra director, musician, ambient musician, multi-instrumentalist, vocal band...? i think that it would be interesting to discuss that, that way may we will discover some artists that is not very known. :idea2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 mmmh, well I don't know, we usually refer to classical music that with orchestra but the correct definition is for the music made by the composers on the 18th or 19th century, is n't it?

Tnspieler1012 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I grew up on classical music. as a little kid I used to read with my mom while having mozart or pachelbel's canon playing the background. In fact, took me a while to latch onto modern music, I hated the stuff my siblings liked so I was kind of reluctant to get into the fray (a pun....I mean the band's okay, but I wouldn't spend money on an album....). Last semester I really got into a classical music phase. I spent weeks teaching myself moonlight (which I promptly forgot over the summer, and only just relearned it today :D ), and the adagio cantabile 2nd. mvt. of beethoven's pathetique sonata. I wish I had more classical on my mp3 player, but just last week I put some chopin on there, mostly nocturnes (op. 9 no. 1, no. 2 etc.). So yeah, I used to be really into mozart but my current faves. are beethoven and chopin, I'm easily tired by baroque, harpsichord stuff. Oh, and I also like Debussy. Even if you're not into classical or just impressionist music, we've all watched ocean's 11 enough times to get clair de lune eventually. oh..and responding to ricardo....there's classical music and the classical era. The former is what most people use to generalize anything before the mid 20th century of certain instrumentation and style. but the classical era in music succeeded the baroque era and took place somewhere around the late 18th century and mid 19th century. After that was the romantic era.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 oh I see thanks ^^^so well somehow I was right but my question is, if someone made music with that style would it be considered classical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marie/pims Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I like classical music, especially opera.Carmen, Madame Butterfly, Die Meistersinger von Nuremberg, Le Nozze di Figaro are my favorites.I also like Tchaikovsky, Bach (Cello), Berlioz and Handel. I used to sing at the National Opera in Brussels when I was a kid.I loved it and so I still listen to classical music once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck kottke Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Chopin is nice, Beethoven's astounding, and Mozart is superb! And I was listening to an ABBA song, thinking they must have worked in a classical piano piece as the general central piano part; SOS is the name of the tune.. I need to go fetch the YouTube version.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4JEmz4FoJE]YouTube - ABBA-S.O.S.[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yeah, and the chords for Don't Look back in Anger are basically taken straight out of Pachelbel's Canon, just in the key of C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricardo Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 classical music is just the most influential music... Maybe classical albums don't sell millions of copies like rock albums do but without the compositions of the 18th and 19th century other kinds of music would not exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Classical, anyone? I've looked at some of the topics here, and IDK if this has been brought up or not, but how many of you listen to classical music, and what composers/eras/pieces do you like? Sorry if I sound like a nerd; this is a genre of music I grew up listening to. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_gloaming09 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 i like classical quite a bit. of course that i'd like to listen to more than just the well known stuff, but it's good! one piece of classical work that's one of my favorites is "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun". it's just a very emotional piece of work that brings joy and sadness at the same time. also of course I love Beethoven's monlight sonata, probably one of, if not, the greatest chord progressions ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Classical aye? Have you heard the string quartet version of Viva La Vida? I haven't. no. I imagine it would sound nice, though. ^ "The Moonlight Sonata" is a favorite of mine as well. The other one sounds vaguely familiar...do you know the composer? I myself love the Romantic era. I listen to people like Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Schumann. I listen to some Contemporary and Baroque as well. Classical era, I'm not so fond of, but if I find something I like, I can get into it.

a-chan Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I like classical...so relaxing and a great escape way!! I love music ballet so Tchaikovsky is my big fav, but I love Delibes, Prokofiev... As for composer, loooove Gershwin (Rhapsody in blue *w*), Stravinsky, Rachmaninov (piano concerto n°2 *w*), and of course Mozart, Bethoveen, Strauss etc...!

Violet Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Sorry, Lyric. As I said, I wasn't too sure. Thanks for alerting to that, though. ^ I have a two-disc set of the best of Stravinsky. I rather like the Firebird suite. :) Also, as a horn player, I'm rather found of both franz and Richard Strauss. They wrote some nice horn concertos. ^_^ I actually don't care much for Mozart. His choral stuff (e.g. Requiem) is nice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
