[QUOTE="Acetylcholine"]I just listen to the music irrespective of the nature because i do not know about the Genres too much, however i like New Age. Will you care to give some examples of Classical music to make it easier to understand for people like me. Thanks. :)Greatgone12
It's not really special, it's like all other music: listen to it, it's exactly what you perceive it to be. The only reason it seems to be much more complex because you can have hundreds of different performers to one song, and each of them could be playing either a different part within each orchestra, different parts within each section, or different parts for each player.
It also allows for more subtleties and many things you can't accomplish with just a few musicians, like in most bands nowadays, without the help from extra musicians. Though, modern music with orchestral accompaniment isn't that complex (not all are... they still do have complex orchestral arrangements in modern music).
Another reason it seems more complex is that there is much more repition in the "mainstream genres" (not just mainstream artists) that use much more repition in there individual songs. However that is rarely a point of criticism for artists and band's material due to how accustomed we have become to it.
I appreciate a good majority of it, but, as with all music genres, most of it is crap. I don't really mind things like Mozart and Haydn, I like Beethoven, but I don't really listen to it as much as I appreciate it.Greatgone12
However, like the user pianist said, the filter of time has left us only with the gems.
I have heard Classical songs I have found unpleasent, or I'll go as far as to say "annoying", but I have never heard a song I don't consider as talented composition in Classical Music.
In my opinion, Classical music is more superior in both sound and talent of composition. I do not close my mind to other genres however. I try to listen to songs from every genre. Heavy Metal is still not my cup of tea.
But in my exploration of Music, I have came to the conclusion that Classical Music is superior to any other genre...
