Yes, I think most people who play musical instruments (esp a stringed one) like classical music since we learned to play using it.  I'll check out the group. Thx!

Music from the romantic period is a good place to find some action packed music. Composers tried to compose music that evoked emotions and so their music is usually very involved and fun. Wagner is always good. I might be partial because he is my favorite composer but he is still very good!! Preludes to any of his operas are wonderful. Check out the overture to Rienzi. Try Flight of the Valkries as well. You will probably recognize it as soon as you hear it! It's in a lot of movie soundtracks.\nFor some really awesome virtuoso type playing check out Liszt, Ravel, and Paganini. Paganini could really tear up on violin!\nDebussy also has some really great pieces. His sense of harmony was awesome. Check out his Duex Arabesques. They are amazing. \nAs mentioned by other people, Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique is awesome too. That will have a lot of the horror type feel to it. \nHope this helps! Happy listening!

Classical music is a term that is often misused. In the music world, "classical music" refers to music from about 1720-1800. To most people, classical music is stuff with strings that sounds boring. So technically there are no more "classical" composers. Most of them died back in the 1800's. Different styles of music are popular in different time periods. So the "Classical" style of music isnt really popular right now. There are still a lot of modern composers that compose for wind bands and orchestras though. Some good wind band composers right now are Eric Whitacre, David Holsinger, David Maslanka and many many more! They would be considered 20th or 21st century composers though! But their music is still beautiful! Check them out!

It's somewhat depressing to me that people listen to "classical" music primarily for relaxation. Beethoven was not relaxed when he wrote the Fifth Symphony. Sure there is some that is simply beautiful and can produce a feeling of calm and balance. But what about composers like Messiaen, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Britten, Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Carter, Busoni, Boulez, etc., who connect with powerful, complex emotions?

My daughter just finally outgrew her country music stage, and graduated to pop. I can handle that, I've been listening to the local pop station.\n\nIf I were to pick a classical piece, I'd probably go with Opus 49 of the 1812 Overture, I love Tchaikovsky. Yep, I just listened to it again, and (aside from AC/DC) any orchestra/band that has somebody playing a cannon is alright by me.\n\nBut I only listen to classical when cleaning my house. I'm more of an 80's metalhead actually.

It is very difficult making a choice, because there are so many symphonies that could go in that position.  Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony is a favourite - the only problem is that despite its name, like most of the choices above  it's not actually a symphony!  I love Honegger's Second Symphony for Strings.  Of course, Beethoven's Fifth (the ta-ta-ta dum one above).  Nielsen, Symphonia Espansiva (the 3rd).  Charles Ives' Third.  Mahler's Sixth and Ninth.  I could go on forever, so I'd better shut up.  :)

I love classical music! It is the inspiration for the best types music out there, in my opinion. First of all, I can find a classical piece for almost anything. If I want to relax, Ill play something like Pachelbel's Canon. It is very soothing, especially since I have a copy of it with included ocean sounds. If I feel pissed, agitated, or some tense emotion, Vivaldi does the trick for me. Concerto No. 6 in A minor, RV 356 III. Presto from his four seasons concert is awesome. For just plain entertainment, I listen to classical guitar. Tárrega has very cool pieces, like Cappricio Arabe. As for providing inspiration for modern music... Listen to many 80's shred bands. The soloing is purely classical scales. Yngwie Malmsteen, who still tours to this day, has really good classical shred. Other classically inspired music is a lot slower pop songs with classical piano. Overall, I think classical music is the best type of music today. That is just my opinion, but I'll bet my money that there are many who will agree with me.

I love classical music I also love the "noise" you refer to. There is also a lot of "noise" that is filled with peace and inspiration or other equally noble messages. There is also classical music which is anything but peaceful.

I have always heard that it is a distraction and that you should not. If you choose to then you should choose classical.\nHOWEVER... I prefer to study with music on. So while studies may say that it is better not to, I think that it really does depend on individuals. For me it was never a distraction. I did not get as distracted. I usually ended up tuning out the songs, but for some reason it seemed to help me get started.
