Thread Name: Classical music - what makes you listen?
Subject: RE: Classical music - what makes you listen?
If I were forced to select a single "balm to the soul" piece, it would be the "adagio, ma non troppo e molto cantabile" of Beethoven's quartet in E flat, op 127. If I were forced to select a single universally life-affirming piece full of optimism, it would be the finale of Mozart's "Jupiter" symphony. To round off a full half-hour of music to feel good to, I'd end with Here Comes The Sun, in m'humble the greatest Beatles track of all.
