    Worth doing!

    Really is a great way to feel how music was previously.

    i’ve been listening to some bach and mozart and some old stuff, not necessarily classical. oldies are amazing. if they had electric guitars back then, i wouldn’t need to listen to new artists. haha.

    It is the lifeblood of our societal passion: modern music genres.

    I was SO happy to find people wanting to do this. I’ve listened to classical since I was born, as it was forced upon me by my mother. Of course I couldn’t complain when I was little. However as soon as I got old enough I branched off to Radio Disney which seemed like the coolest thing ever at the time. After that it was The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen and Frank Sinatra. Because it was pretty much what my parents listened to when they were my age, they never complained. Three years ago I discovered Dvorak’s 9th symphony. After that I was completely hooked. Now at the ripe old age of 15, I’m a complete classical addict!

    For starters I suggest the composers:

    Saint-Saens
    Tchaikovsky
    Dvorak
    Bach
    Beethoven
    Holst
    Grieg
    Rachmaninoff
    Prokofiev

    To be specific about the pieces, I suggest:

    Beethoven’s symphonies (mainly 3, 5, and 9)
    Mozart’s clarinet concertos
    Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet
    Bizet’s Carmen
    Dvorak’s 9th symphony
    Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker
    Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring
    Bernstein’s Candide
    Holst’s Planets
    Grieg’s Peer Gynt

    I greatly admire anyone who accepts this goal. You hardly realize how much classical can change your life. Despite my flings with other genres, I’ve always come back to classical.

    I’d love to talk to anyone who has questions or wants more musical suggestions!

    I really would like to listen to more classical music but I need a jump start. If anyone could suggest what artist’s or song’s that they love please do.

    I checked out a few books about classical music. The best was NPR’s Curious listners guide to Classical Music. It explained a lot of the terminology and had a succint historical recap of clasicla music from it;’s inception in the 16th century to modern day composers. I’ve started checking some CDs out (I’m listening to Rachmaninoff’s 2nd symphony right now) and plan on building my own collection ASAP.
