What is your opinion on classical music?

Question

Im open to any opinions. :) Thanks.

Answer 1

It's classic, which is why it's called classical music, so it never gets out of style. I think it can be very soothing and there is no age barrier unlike rock or pop music which have a specific age range that they usually cater to.

Answer 2

As one of your answerers pointed out, most classical music was written by people who actually sat down with an instrument ( or two or three) and took the time to write something down by hand. They invested a lot of their own energy and creativity into it, and came up with so much that after all the stuff from the last 50 years or so has washed away, there would still be plenty of classical music left. and people would still be listening to it.
for the person who thought that live music was too loud and too scary, I must set the record straight. Most symphony orchestras play in the hearing range of 60-80 decibels. You'd think something was wrong with the sound system in your local disco if they played it that quietly.
Obviously, I'm into classical music. I work in the biz, and have for over 25 years. It doesn't pay great, but the music more than makes up for the bucks. and then, there's all the people I can talk to that share my interest, so it's a great way to be with people as well.
Go listen to a couple of concerts live; the experience is great. find out if there's a classic music radio station in your area; they need the listener support, and you'll certainly hear a lot more than you ever bargained for!
Remember, they didn't have radio, tv, movies, or anything electronic in those days, so it's music for people not for bucks.

Answer 3

Classical music is so relaxing. It's like a pill that relieves your pain after listening to all of the untalented so called "artists" that is drilled into your head everyday over the radio and on television. I think everyone should learn to appreciate classical music.

Answer 4

I played in Orchestra for 7 years, and it taught me to appreciated classical music. Once I graduated...I was so used to have a daily dose of it in my diet, so I've been listening a lot to it this past year. Tchaikovsky, Mozart, and Bach are my top favourites, but I appreciated all.
Also, movie scores are amazing with composers like James Newton Howard, Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, and many others. The bring a fresh perspective on classical scores.

Answer 5

Well.. lots of people told me it would be calming music, so I tried listening to it.. no problem, but once I listened to Mozart (he scared the hell out of me with the loud instruments), so ever since, I've never really been interested in classical music. :)

Answer 6

I like the whole history of it. some people think its lame or boring but They should think about the fact that people actually wrote this songs and are no lyrics and there was no technology back then, these musicians wrote them by playing the notes on instruments....I like how it all started people making real music.

Answer 7

Its really good music and I believe its 'ture' music. Its also very relaxing and soothing. I think Mozart, Bach, Beethovan and Chopin are really good. If you're into waltzes and marches then I would suggest Tchakovski.

Answer 8

I like to listen to Mozart and Tchaikovsky. It's my daughters favorite music.

Answer 9

I'm not the biggest fan, but some pieces are utterly BRILLIANT!!! and to go and see a symphony live is incredible!!! a very powerful and moving experience...

Answer 10

it's soothing, and nice to listen to once in a while, but it's not something i'd wanna listen to 24/7
