The thing I love the most about classical music is that your enjoyment of a piece only increases the more you listen to it. It's rewarding for something to go over your head the first time you hear it, and then slowly enjoy it more and more each time you listen. And even after it clicks, you'll always hear new details every time you hear the piece, or every time you listen to a new recording.
>>1298502034me its when i see somebody play it because you see how hard they actually are and that makes you appreciate the craftsmanship. pianists back then truly were artists as in masters of their craft.
>>129850203I agree but how many of these threads are you going to make?
As someone who has grinded out a bunch of his songs on keyboard I kind of disagree, Ive heard them so much that its hard to hear them for just the music. Maybe after a long break they will sound good again
>>129851105>songsAnyway, that's kind of a separate problem. OP is talking about listening, while you were learning to play. People often get sick of the stuff they play.
>>129851180Yes songs, Bach has countless choral works accompanied by keyboard. And how are you not listening to music you are playing?
>>129851193>Yes songsNot really. A song typically implies a solo voice with instrumental accompaniment and often in a relatively compact, lyrical form. Choral works are written for multiple voices (a choir), they can be a cappella or accompanied, and they often involve polyphony, counterpoint and larger structures.>And how are you not listening to music you are playing?It's not the same. When you're playing, your attention is split between execution and sound. It's task-oriented and can feel stale when you drill it to death. With passive or focused listening, you're just following the sound, so the music tends to grow instead.
>>129851193They are called pieces, not songs. I can't believe I share a board with people like you.
>>129850203dozens of different recordings of the same piecessorry but classical music is fuckin stupid
>>129851857low iq
>>129851857You've got it all wrong. You're too stupid for classical. You're welcome.
>>129850203Bach is great, his songs are very relaxing to listen to and they take you all over with your emotions.
people who don't like bach invoke a very strong emotion in me. an emotion of repulsion and pity.
Bach is the GOAT
>>129851458The line is blurry. Would you consider the fifth movement from Mahler 5 a song or a vocal work?
>>129855675The line isn't that blurry. I already described the difference between a typical song and a choral work; both are vocal music, but not the same thing.As for Mahler 5, that's an instrumental work, so you probably mean one of the symphonies with vocals. Mahler does blend characteristics of song cycles and symphonies, so he's an exception that can be harder to pin down.
