Mozart's stuff always seems so much "lighter" to me than most of what came after. Not as emotionally taxing as Beethoven and the Romantics.

I've got fairly eclectic music tastes so I do have a bit of classical around, most of it from when I did ballet when I was little. It's not my favourite, for some part of my life it seemed to be more of a chore than a hobby or something I enjoyed which diminished how much I'll listen too it. Think that is something which can sap the passion out of it for most anyone, (including people that play it) all that aside it's still one of the most complex forms of composition, both in the depth of the sound and the intricacy of the composition, which most anyone who calls themselves a music lover should be able to appreciate.

I liked this:

From the letters column in the current issue of Science: "...Watanabe and Sato [Behav. Processes 47, 1 (1999)] have shown that Java sparrows can discriminate between Bach’s French Suite no. 5 in G minor and Arnold Schoenberg’s Suite for Piano opus 25. The birds were also able to generalize new music by Bach (Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major) and Schoenberg (Five Orchestra Pieces, Opus 16) and artists in similar categories, i.e., Vivaldi and Elliott Carter. In these experiments, music by Bach and Vivaldi was considered classical music, while the music of Schoenberg and Carter was considered modern music. Watanabe and Nemoto [Behav. Processes 43, 2 (1998)] have also shown that, given the option of three perches producing either silence, classical, or modern music, the Java sparrows preferred Bach to Schoenberg and Vivaldi to Carter. These results indicate that Java sparrows or songbirds prefer classical to modern music, or perhaps just more harmonious to dissonant sounds. Additionally, the sparrows chose music they 'liked' (e.g., Bach) over silence or music they 'disliked' (e.g., Schoenberg)."

Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto #2 (amazing :eyes:)
Copeland - Appalachian Spring & Billy the Kid
Dvorak - Symphony #9
Bizet - Habanera
Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique
Classical and opera is full of so much detail/emotion. Some pieces of music just grab me and even though I heard stuff 10+ years ago it is still sounds fresh and new. My love to classical/opera music really stems from singing, I've primarily sang classical stuff in choirs and by myself. It is more challenging and "fun." I wish people would be more accepting of it and connect with the music more...
