Has it struck you that the music which is regarded as the most sublime in western civilization, which is the music of Bach, is called baroque?
Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it becomes your friend for life.
It's very hard to find a pianist that's willing to play the so-called accompanist role on part of the program and yet be capable of being a great solo pianist that you would want for the big sonatas.
The Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when you're waiting for the miracle to come.
If Beethoven and Bach hooked up with Mozart and made a band, they could be a distant runner up to The D.
I love stuff like Mozart.
The violin sings.
I like - I actually love classical music very much.
I listen mostly to classical music.
I have never heard enough classical music to be able to enjoy it; & the simple truth is, I detest it. Not mildly, but will all my heart. To me an opera is the very climax & cap-stone of the absurd, the fantastic the unjustifiable. I hate the very name of opera - partly because of the nights of suffering I have endured in its presence, & partly because I want to love it and can't.
I play a lot of classical music around the house.
I really love how the andante from the "A minor Sonata" sounds on the mandolin.
I have no doubt that there are great people about though... the thing of it is, nothing to this day moves me like classical music (Debussy, Vaughn Williams).
Composers most identified with the chamber music form are Corelli, Vivaldi, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and, of course, Bach. Of course, Bach. If there is any one composer who gives us reason and emotion, it is Bach.
I love gentle, gorgeous classical music such as Mozart.
I remain loyal to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert in music and to Shakespeare and Jane Austen in literature.
I'm a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music.
Classical music can rock you!
Michael Berkeley's 'Sonata' is very - what can you say - melodious.
Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse. Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.
