Classical Music, Although Intricate And Complementary To Some Movies And Purposes, Is Really Pretty Boring
OK let me have it. I'm sure there are some hardcore classical music fans out there. But I like a large swath of society just don't get into it. And I've bought a few collections trying to expand my horizon but they just don't get air time.

I am a musician .... I "get" it... I understand it. I have my favs and some I do not care for. Look into theme music... Pieces that have a story behind it, Like Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain..... It's intended story line IS NOT the Disney story that Fantasia depicts... It deals with witches and the devil and murder and is quite interesting and once you know the whole story and listen to the entire work, you get it, and you will have chills.

Sometimes boring isn't that boring. Sometimes the fun times aren't so fun. Sometimes you need some of this or that. Sometimes only happens sometimes.

Yes it's boring, but sometimes you need to induce boredom. I'm catching up on some right now.

Enjoying and understanding classical music is a learned art in itself just the way cultivating a knowledge and appreciation of wine or art is a learned art.

Classical music could be compared to boring vegetables to someone brought up on burgers and fries. Kudos to those who enjoy both.

The problem I think is that it’s a performance art. No stereo or cd has the capability to repeat the experience of 60 instruments working together perfectly, communicating the intricate chaos that is classical music. There is an interactive emotive power to the live experience for me that is anything but boring.

I am defiantly not a fan of classical music but those who think its BORING are just unintelligent in my opinion. Classical music has many ups and downs, pitch changes, different sounds, its all very interesting if you have an open mind and the attention span to really listen to the music. Defiantly not true.

 Well and there we go, I guess I'm unintelligent. Thanks.

Oh, also there appears to be a link between increase in intelligence and decrease in sense of humor. Who knew?
