Do you prefer really crazy piano music(or other types) of music? Or very quiet and peacefull music? Just curious

 

[Thomas]

This's interesting!
When playing is concerned ... The simpler the better, so that I can really enjoy instead of sweating over it. So it must be slow, and peaceful. But certainly not peacefully boring.
When listening, esp. during a lazy afternoon or morning, nothing wakes me up like crazy music. But what kind of crazy are we talking about here?

 

[Daniel]

That changes with mood. To relax i need quiet and "healing" music like the Goldbergs, but then again more energetic music....

Playing myself i love slow middle parts :wub:

When playing is concerned ...

What instruments do you play, Thomas?

 

[becky]

It all depends on how the day is going and what I'm doing. I probably like both equally, that goes for playing and listening. When I was younger, I definitely preferred my music to be loud and fast, but now I like calming music just as much.

I also like gentler music best. Mozart and Haydn, and Handel and Bach, especially. But it depends on the day for me, too. Sometimes it's different.

Piano music?
hmmm... I like em slow and peaceful when I'm playing for fun. Crazy music makes me go bald earlier. I will have to stop that process for now.

As long as it is so emotional that it makes people either cry, jump up in their seats, relax, and/or have a pang of fear in their hearts, I like it.

Same here. I like manipulating emotions.

 

[LiLi]

ah thats a hard question. when playingn piano, i always tend to choose slow, sad pieces that i can put alot of emotion into. sometimes i get really carried away with my arm movements and things lol. but fast pieces are always fun to play and listen to. some make you look more talented than you really are haha

 

[glezzery]

I like what ever is needed at the moment. Webern's Passacaglia, Handel concerto, Rachmaninoff Piano Music, Anything by Frank Martin, Hindemith... It's all good!
If you have a CD/ MP3 alarm Clock, try waking up to Bruckner's 7th! Holst military Suites are nice to get the blood flowing. Sit in the Dark and listen to Shostakovich No. 8 and be VERY SCARED! Or put on some Mudvayne to go into battle with!

 

[soul_syringe]

definitely depends on the mood... i think your music collection always speaks of how bi-polar a musician is, lol! as for me, got a library of 'em. i can be real quiet sometime, scholarly even... then gothic or punk ska the next. talk about being bi-polar, baby! lol!

 

[mahlerfan]

I like crazy music, definitely!! Soft music is also very welcome to my ears, especially sweeping, beautiful violin themes!

 

[Harmonie]

I like quieter and peaceful music.

This is exactly why I'm not a rocker. XD

There are some classical pieces that I like that are neither, but most of them are softer and peaceful...

 

[IAmKing]

I like crazy quiet pieces.

 

[psicorp]

i like both

 

[Manuel]

i like both

Me too. I can be listening to a bombastic orchestral Shostakovich, and turn that into a quiet, somber Oficium Defunctorum by Victoria.

 

[EddieRUKiddingVarese]

I like my music crazy, who would have guessed that

 

[Ingélou]

If it's piano music, I think 'quiet', as then you can hear more tone & expression in the keys which seems to speak more to my emotions. 'Crazy' piano music can seem just 'noise', such as what my sister & I used to produce on my granny's piano, thumping away pretending we were concert performers.

Other instruments can be crazy, for me - though some seem incapable of craziness. Crazy harp? Crazy cowbell or glockenspiel? No, for real craziness, you need drums.
