Let's listen to some classical music together
« on: February 09, 2013, 12:00:42 AM »

Grab yourself a nice cup of coffee, pour a glass of wine, cut yourself up a nice cheese platter, and enjoy some nice relaxing classical music, right here in this thread.
 :hat


W. A. Mozart - Eine kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525
One of Mozart's most well-known pieces. "A little night music" that captures Mozart's beautiful character and charm. I love how whimsically he moves you through the different themes, with all his trademark little trills decorated on top....Plus, this piece reminds me of The Wind Waker. :biggrin:

I've only been listening to classical music for about a year now, and I haven't heard much Mozart, but I have heard Eine kleine Nachtmusik. Very beautiful piece.

Oh, yes, I'm definitely in :) Are we going to take turns giving recommendations on what to listen or something? I have quite some classical stuff in my library and I'm more than willing to share and listen to stuff together.

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is great, by the way.

I'm no expert but I do have some classical in my collection.
Mozart is always a good listen. I've used it in my work to attempt the "Mozart effect" where it's supposed to calm the brain. Not convinced of the effect tbh but the patients I've used it with have always been the most disturbed and maybe they were beyond the effect working.

In my top 50 that's going on at the moment (shameless plug ;)) I have featured the Paganini Concertos amongst the Hard Rock and Metal.

Nachtmusic is a great piece, even beyond the bit that everyone knows. Mozart certainly knew how to write enchanting melodies.

I'm not that fond of Mozart. Actually not at all. Musical painting by numbers, most of the time, imo. Although I must admit that parts of his Jupiter Symphony have struck me as surprisingly romantic, and quite enjoyable.

Although, listening to the piece now, and even that one gives me shivers.

Zipping wine and eat mouldy cheese works great with:

Beethoven - Symphony no 6 - first mov.
or
any piano music by Bach like The English Suites in A minor (If you want a challenge try find Safri Duos versions on English and French suites on marimba)

but let's put the wig and gayness aside for a sec. and bring on the russian fury:

Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 11 (Skip to The 9th of January if you want action)

Awesome idea for a thread, I've been wanting to get into classical for a while but have no idea where to start. I'll have to check some of this stuff out tonight.

Great piece, and probably one of the most well-known pieces of classical music there are. None of my friends are into classical music at all, but none of them don't know this one. You'd probably be hard-pressed to find a German that doesn't know it, tbh.

I have some songs lined up already, but I'd be happy to pass it off when I'm done.

Three sonatas for you:

1. Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, op. 67, Movt. I

Probably the most well known piece in classical music. If you just know the intro, listen to it in full! It's quite a ride. Oh, one thing, I always get caught off guard by that little oboe moment in the recapitulation.

2. W. A. Mozart - Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550, movt. I

Back to Mozart again. This is the second-to-last of his symphonies. Not quite my favorite Mozart piece, but it's up there. You've got to love how that man can just build off of one theme, and twist it from being graceful and gentle to terrifyingly mad.

3. P. I. Tchaikovsky - Romeo & Juliet

Okay, maybe this is a very loose sonata. Regardless, this is one of the most moving Romantic pieces I know. IMO, it's up there with the greats. It might be long, but you want to hear this piece in full.

Dvorak's where it's at for me. The New World Symphony (No. 9) is amazing, and so are 7 and 8.

Following :smiley: I'm not really in classical music but I like what I heard. Beethoven's Sonatas are my favorites (especially Moonlight sonata).
