Do you listen to classical music?

I'm talking about your Mozarts, Bachs, Strauss', Schuberts and Tchaikovskys.

Some might find it strange for a 24 year oldgamer to be listening to this kind of music considering how much it contrasts with the modern era of technology and so on. My friends would say I should be listening to rap or something. But, I'm sure i'm not the only one here who's got a taste for classical music.

Right now, I'm listening to Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik K525 - Mov. 2/4 and K.412 Horn Concerto #1 in D 1st mov. Allegro

There's also Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and Nutcracker suites which I'm checking out.

Only trance remixes of it.

Well, hip hop is known for sampling clasical pieces :) you should check it out. Its important to not be locked down in one genre.

clasical music has a special mood, I like to listen to it when I want to listen to something different and soothing. Bach is my favorite among the great ones though! Beethoven also has incredible music. Never been a huge fan of Mozart.

Yes I always listen to it. Keeps me calm, relaxes me and isn't boring

Sometimes i do. it is very relaxing.

I listen to classical music a lot. Always have. LOL telling you you should listen to Rap over classical music. Your friends are morons.

Not really. I like some compositions by Grieg, Tschjaikovskij (or however you'd romanise his name) and Beethoven, but never to the point where I'd buy a CD with their music and listen to it all day.

Yes i do, Only a casual listener though. I'm 20 and theres nothing wrong with it.

All the time - Bach mostly.

I have to agree with the Austrian Emperor about Motzart - "too many notes!" :D (He really needed a good editor.)

I do but not a lot of it and not all that frequently but I enjoy it when I do

Very rarely. I've got a CD with someone playing Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor on a gigantic church organ - really shakes the walls with the subwoofer. I've got another CD by Anne-Sophie Mutter, playing some truly beautiful classical pieces on violin. And I've got Paganini's 24 Caprices as performed by Itzhak Perlman. Real virtuoso violin playing there.

Then I've got some classical CD's I picked up for a buck or two each, Inventions and Sinfonias by Bach on harpsichord, and some other stuff.

I actually read a biography of Bach once. A really fascinating person with an extremely full life. And quite a fondness for beer as well :D

I hate "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", but I do love classical, just not when I'm gaming, too soothing for games, even the fast 'harsh' stuff. Inconsistancy

of course i do, i really like vivaldi and his four seasons...havoc-k94

4 1/2 years later, four seasons is still kinda depressing for me... It's some of the last music my dad ever heard before he died... Which is probably why I don't listen to it anywhere as much as I use to.....though I still do love classical. I just find it so much more uplifting to bang my head to some metal :P

Yes, because it makes me feel more intellectual when I do.foxhound_fox

The Mozart effect ;)

Yes. I listen to classical music just about everyday and love putting some on low volume when I am reading.

Yes I do!! Pillars says heck no to techno!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Mozart's K.412 Horn Concerto #1 in D 1st mov. Allegro

Yes I listen to classical music, Beethoven is my fav.

listen to them, study and even try to mimic the baroque style but unsuccesful so far as trying to make polyphonic music is hair pulling.

i like classical but i only talk about it when it is in proper poser fashion, times such as when i am in a conversation about who is the greatest rapper of all time or any pop music conversation.

Yes I do on the occasion. Handel's chorale piece Zadok the Priest has an excellent build up before the actual singing begins.

I like the romantic era of the "music of the masters" more than classical. Chopin. I like bits and pieces of beethoven and one bach cello suite.

clssical music is great. especially when it has a good brass section in the orchestra.

Yes.
Also, how old you are has nothing to do with liking clåssical music.

i was listening to classical music when i was 14 i don't as much anymore as i need the right environment, killing noobz on bf2 just don't work bluetadomonk

Of course it does. 1812 overture......ode to joy......ride of the valkyries.....anvil chorus....the list goes on :P

yes, but it's definitely not my main thing. I prefer contemporary compesors like Zbiginew Priesner, Max Ricther or Yann Tiersen though. It's tough to sort through it all and find stuff I like though. I prefer more sad/ethereal (sp?) type classical.

I have a good Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach collection. Also some CD samplers of various artists. But I have to be in the right mood to listen to it.

Only when it's blended wih prog rock. On its own? No.

No, it all sounds the same and is super boring.

I listen to dubstep instead because I'm cool.

Sure do. Not as much as other music, but it's great to listen to when I need to relax.
