Dear friends, I love all kinds of good music, from Boxcar Willie to the Beatles to Brahms and Beethoven. But I want to ask which of you good people particularly like classical music?

Mahler, Symphony No. 1, 2, 4
Mozart Symphony No. 40, 41
Grieg Piano Concerto, Peer Gynt Suites, Symphonic Dances, Norwegian Dances
Rachmaninov Vocalise, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Preludes, Etudes, Piano Concerto No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, Symphony No. 2, No. 3, Symphonic Dances, Vespers

Ms. flowerof3: Do you think for instance that classical music, which I enjoy also, is incompatible with Christian hard rock? some Christian hard rock, such as Disciple with its Biblical lyrics in 'Battle Lines', is very good.

Blessings.

I can enjoy classical music, but don't know what any of the pieces are called. I too like a huge variety of music from my all time favorite Barry Manilow to Josh Groban to Reba McEntyre to Tran-Siberian Orchestra. All good stuff. Also love Phantom Of The Opera and a lot of Broadway. In the car I listen to Christian Contemporary most of the time.

I enjoy classical music actually, I dont listen to it much at all but when I do I like to pull apart the different sounds that make up the orchestra, I love the complexity of it, amazing work.

Bach's counterpoint for example is amazingly complex but balanced and radiant.

IMHO:

Yes, I am fond of classical music, particularly Romantic variety.

Having said that, I have broad tastes. I think that many styles of music have a few really great compositions and a majority of hum-drum, as for example what I call "piano teacher recital music." Many kids waste hours and hours of time learning pieces that aren't worth the bother.

Some learners' pieces may sound boring, yes; often the idea is though being able to practice using the various keys and combinations of notes and rests and so forth, which a piece particularly applicable for learners may have.

I struggled 40 years ago with my pieces! but in hindsight I'm very glad I persevered.
