John Cage's monumental 4'33" is a timeless work that can be performed in different formats. Here's the death metal edition.

What's some easy ways to get into it? Something accessible? I've hit up the symphony but couldn't bare it - is that I sign that its' probably not for me?
You have to be an audiophile to find orchestral music
more appealing than pop music.

Give Ravel's Bolero a try.

Brett, Eddy and Sophie are on tour again.

I'm doing my best to get trippingwalker's suggestion out of my head. Sophie Oui Oui is too young, too talented and too wholesome for me to be her piano stool. Enough with the preverted fantasies.

I do enjoy it but don't have a lot of expertise on the subject. I like Rachmaninoff, Holst, Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi. I listened to classical 96 when we were more reliant on radio for music, usually if jazz 91 had some boner killing program on it was my alternate.

Well then, let me lay some Boccherini on ya. He got wiped out by Mozart and Beethoven. They lived and worked in the center of the musical world, Vienna. Boccherini was based in the outlier Madrid.

Sophie Druml broke my heart.

She's the piano accompanist in the Classical Comedy outfit Two Set Violin. I have never heard anyone play Chopin's ultimate masterpiece with so much feeling.


Same age as Penny Oleksiak.

She should be an international superstar by now. She seems to enjoy doing musical comedy, there hasn't been any since Victor Borge passed away.

Daily Doug gets it in first listening

The chaos in Star Spangled Banner are air dropped bombs
then Hendrix plays Taps for the people the bombs killed

Notice how the drummer drops out of song because Hendrix was improvising
and the band could not keep up

Get all the exposure on Youtube you want.
But do more than dip your toe.
Hearing pieces played live is a totally realer experience, despite how high end your ear buds might be.

The sounds float in all around you seeing an orchestra in a good hall.
Even the best recordings only approximate the feeling of being there to see and sense it live.
