Do you like Classical Music?

[Mikey]

I enjoy it very much

[Kane Knight]

Depends on the music, but yeah, as much as I like or dislike any genre.

[The Destroyer]

I know sod all about it, and couldn't tell say... Bach from Beethoven if my life depended on it, but yeah, I seem to have a kind of soft spot for anything involving an orchestra.

[The Mask]

i like some, but very very little of it.

[Kane Knight]

Your idea of "Classical" is Ozzy-era Sabbath. :roll:

[The Mask]

yeah, steven :mad:

[Boondock Saint]

Like Destroyer said. I don't know the difference when it comes to who did what, but some things I've heard I have enjoyed.

[Danny Electric]

I think it's cool to chill out too.

[SuperSlim]

some composers such as Bach, Chopin, and Beethoven, plus a lil Mozart, and others

[el fregadero]

<font color=teal>Yes.</font>

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>Yes. Neo-classical metal is good, too.</font>

[Kane Knight]

Chopin rules.

[Lamuella]

yes, lots.

Particularly handel, mozart and bach. Bach because of the astonishing mathematical complexity of his work.

[MVP]

I'd be that nobody here including me, listens to it on a regular basis, but still enjoy it.

[Lamuella]

actually, lots of times I'd rather listen to something good in the orchestral vein than pop or rock music

I know it doesn't count as 'proper' classical muci, but the LOTR soundtrack albums are effortlessly beautiful.

[Kane Knight]

I listen to it on a pretty regular basis...

Especially when my courseloads revolve around such pieces...

Though usually on my Discman on headphones, because my GF and almost everyone I know dislikes classical in general.

The funniest part of that is that my music instructors probably think of me more as a Mansonite or metal-head. One of 'em was even suprised I collect Thelonius Monk (Jazz) CDs.

It counts.

Well, in my opinion, it counts. The orchestral scores to the LOTR movies are contemporary music, but still in the classical vain...If they don't count, neither does most of the Boston Philharmonic...

[Mikey]

It's a blowout so far

[Boomer]

Used to play the viola.....hard decision there

[Kane Knight]

Used to play the viola.....hard decision there

I'm a trombonist.

Used to play primarily classical pieces, though I switched to primarily blues/swing/big band/latin pieces...I'm more into jazz and blues...

Still, classical fu</>cking rocks.

I like a lot of the old Christian hymns.

Piano pieces.

The main reason I switched was the total lack of trombone parts in classical pieces. The only skill you need as a classical tombonist is the ability to count large numbers of rests.

[The Outlaw]

yes, lots.

Particularly handel, mozart and bach. Bach because of the astonishing mathematical complexity of his work.

Word. :y:

He is the one that people are still trying to find little cool things he did with his music, right? My music teacher was talking about him and Beethoven, but I can't really remember which one did all the complex stuff with their music. :?:

Yes, to question.

Yes, to question.

Bach, among other people, they're still interpretting.

There's a huge body of theories as to why he did what he did when he did it.

[The Mask]

by very very little before, just to reiterate, it's probably a hell of a lot more than some of the people who replied here, just some of it i find really hard to tolerate :$

[Joeleosis]

Hell yes. I have a bunch of classical/baroque/romantic era compilation discs, always awesome to chill out too. Plus I have some discs leftover from my last semester of college with some medeival music and whatnot - Gregorian chant is the man. :shifty:

And harpsichords are the best instrument ever. Bach's Little Prelude \m/

[Funky Fly]

Hell yes. I know dick all about the eras or the composers, but orchestration is the man.

[loopydate]

Like Funky, I don't know much about classical, but I love it anyway. I actually, from time to time, listen to the classical programs on my local public radio station when I'm driving. It's very relaxing.

One of the only pieces I know by name (and ADORE) is Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude." I used to have that on my computer, but I had it in "My Shared Folder" and when I deleted KaZaA from my computer, I forgot to move the files from that folder to something else and lost it.

[Kris P Lettus]

I dig chamber music...

[Blue Demon]

I probably couldn't tell you one composer from the other but I don't mind it

[Kristanna Vola]

I'm really big on classical music from the Orchestral music side from the Renaissance Period. Chamber Music is alright also.
