Is classical music really as great as everyone says it is?

>>72531653
there's a lot of it and a lot of it is great

>>72531653
Classical music is the only real music, frankly speaking.

It's even better

Only if you're into fedoras and wine.

>>72531653
why don't you just try to listen to some and make up your own mind?

Listen to this and just try to tell me it doesn't get your blood pumping.

>>72531653
Some of it is, but after awhile it's the same as listening to pop or rock. The same ideas and motifs crop up, it soon starts to wear.

What does Ben Stiller have to do with that?

somewhat true

I don't think classical is objectively better than any other genre (especially I don't get why western classical is singled out over other classical music traditions elsewhere) but classical music criticism is a lot better than rock/jazz music criticism (apart from Scaruffi) because the underrated classics have had their time to get well known and you can stick to what's popular and critically acclaimed to hear the best while for rock music you have to search it out.

it's not something that i listen to regularly, but yeah classical music is really great.

Pre-Baroque: good
Baroque and Classical: not good
Post-Classical: good

Fixed

Do people actually listen to Classical? I thought only the bad guys in movies like that stuff

Wrong.

>>72532503
Right.

Try it out OP but don't just listen to one composer. Listen to a few different types of works from a few composers from each era if you want to start.

Very bad opinions. Shameful really.

They are all great.

Bach and Zelenka is the only non-shit Baroque music

The best part about classical is that the most popular composers truly are the greatest, so it's really easy to be patrician. You can just listen to Bach, Beethoven and Mozart and you'll automatically have better taste than 99% of people.
