what is probably the best classical music to listen to?

Question

if you need to study etc, what is the best soft classical music to listen to?

can anyone suggest some specific CD's? I prefer soft instrumental music. cheers

Answer 1

Depends on taste. Mozart at the top, Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Hayden, Verdi, Franz Lehar, Dvorak, Strauss, Mendelsohn (his violin concerto in E minor is my favorite), Franz von Suppe...

Answer 2

There's not really a "best" specific composer or peice/s. It depends on what you like. What type of music do you find invigorates you or "wakes" you up. The association of baroque, classical, or romantic music to learning is based on the complexity and excellence poured into it's creation.

I bought a series of CDs from a company that "specializes" in music for learning, relaxation, and so forth. Some I liked, some I didn't. I prefer specific pieces of music, even over any one composer. You can check out the link to see the different CDs offered, and clicking on the CD's pic will lead you to a page with the list of track titles so that you can see for yourself what pieces of music they chose to record for each catagory.
