Hi all,
           In what ways does classical music stimulate your mind. If you listen to it while you sleep what will it do ?

        P.S Whats your favourite piece of classical. One that makes you really relaxed and chilled.

P.S.S Im really sorry for posting this here in this forum. How do I move it to the music area ?

I usually have classical music on at work.  It beats muzak or a soft rock radio station.

Beethoven is nice but I'm more of a baroque guy (Bach, Handel, Vivaldi).

Verdi, Italian music in general!

You shouldn't play it in your sleep, you should LISTEN to it! Way better for the stimulation of the mind!

Ehhh my parents kind of like it and I'm stuck playing a LOT of it for piano, but really I don't care for it. It's fun to play certain stuff on the piano, but not to litsen to for fun! Wink

You appreciate it subliminally when you listen in your sleep. Like with my all my cd's. I often listen to them when i'm asleep, and while I know bugger all of the words I can air guitar the next chord almost everytime. Grin

I was lucky enough to play violin semi professionally for several years and stage managed several operas, so I love almost all classical music. There's nothing like sitting in the middle of a full symphony orchestra playing at full blast or at the side of a stage listening to a quality operatic solo.
Personal favourites.
Mozart's.... Entrance of the Queen of the Night from The Magic Flute. A stunning soprano solo and technically amazing too.
Second movement of Beethovens 7th symphony and his 6th.
Sibelius... Symphony No2
Puccini's... La Boheme
Ravel... L'Enfant et les Sortileges


and hundereds more.

Is this better than listening to it while awake ?

Boths good. It's suprising what you learn about the melody and timing of a piece when you're asleep.

Classical music is best listened to while driving.  But it can't be a slow piece, it's gotta be something with some balls behind it.

While I can appreciate most classical, I'm always drawn to the...well, the classics.  Ride of the Valkyries, The William Tell Overture and the 1812 Overture all come to mind.

It all depends on the piece.

Rhaphsody in blue-George gershwin
great piece that has jazz themes in it.  it has it all, and it inspires such vivid images in your mind.

When I listen to it, I think of a traveler who wakes up, and goes to the airport where he gets on a plane and travels somewhere.

Albinoni (his Adagio in G minor is superb), Vivaldi, Bach and Wagner are my favourites.

I don't think though the purpose of classical music is to relax. It can give a lot of power. Orff and Wagner can do this easily.
It can also create mental load. Listen to Albinoni's Adagio mentioned above or Mozzart's Lacrimosa and you will understand what I mean.

Finally I want to say that I am mostly into heavy metal but I believe heavy metal and classical are very closely related. No matter how strange it might sound...

As well as my large selection of "Modern" instruments, I also have a collection of Medieval,  Renaissance, Baroque and Classical instruments which I play regularly:

Medievil Dulcimer,  Renaissance 13 course Lute, Baroque Viol, Baroque wooden Flute, a complete set of Fageolets, Classical Guitar, Harpsichord, Piano, a complete set of Recorders, (including the Bass Recorder), etc....

As an example, I love to play music by John Dowland, Henry Purcell, Mozart, and J.S Bach.
...and Jimi Hendrix...!

This is where all our "Modern" Western music originated...!

Most of my spare time is spent playing my instruments....The ultimate in relaxation...!
Highly recommended..!

Cheers all...!

Paul...You hum it...I'll play it...!

...interestingly...

What started me off to getting really interested in "Classical Music" was hearing Tchaikovsky's "Serenade for Strings in C" many, many years ago... Wink...!

...and we mustn't forget Daphnie Dupre's Cello Concerto by Sir Edward Elgar... 8)...!

Cheers all.. Grin...!

yeah the Spitfire prelude is fairly impressive at the proms when they get the spitty to do a display with the music.

I like Rachmaninov's 2nd but it doesn't seem as varied as the 3rd.
