    Good bump.  Late 19th into early 20th century is where my love for classical music lies (Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Stravinsky, Satie and Ravel are my favourites here when it comes to consistently brilliant output).

    The Rach, especially, has always stuck a chord with me. The second and third piano concertos are out of this world.  Plus you need some freaky big hands to play this...

    And although I love the obvious Clare de Lune from Debussy, his Arabesques are my favourite...

    Plus some contemporary bizness from Philip Glass and that talented prick Aphex Twin:

    I posted on the Random Thread before about how music messes up my head, and I don't want to listen to music any more, well I found (and was talking to a member the other day about it) that classical/opera style music on the other hand doesn't cloud up my head.

    No music aside from Classical? Are you serious?  Cry

    Just recently you were saying that you didn't really get Classical music. That is quite a turnaround that now you only listen to Classical.

    I don't really like classical music. My dad loves it, he likes to sit in a room in pitch darkness with a glass of wine listening to classical music. Wierd!

    I came across this Berlioz masterpiece when studying orchestration and the string technique known as col legno (striking the strings with the wood of the bow and not the hairs).  Such a weird, eerie but wonderful sound (@8:16).

    Heh, I meant mostly music without lyrics/gentle music, instrumental, chill, ambient, classical(-not so much) etc. XD

    I don't think you have to go to those lengths  but he is right. You are used to multi tasking and never quite putting all of your concentration into one thing. You really have to work at listening properly. Play the music and just listen to it. Follow the different tunes, listen to how they develop, identify them as they reppeat, feel how your mood changes as you listen. The same piece can sound different as you hear different things in it over repeated listening.
