I think I'd find opera distracting, or Wagner or whatever, but, as a musician on TV said today, Mozart is like champagne. : )<BR/><BR/>"Mozart fever" has totally hit me now. I listened to an old record that belongs to my mum. On side A was symphony no. 41 and on side B symphony no. 35. But either because the record was about 40 years old or because our record player won't make it much longer, it all sounded pretty awful, you know, distorted or grinding or something. On Friday, another Mozart concert was on TV and Lang Lang, a Chinese pianist, played symphony no. 40 in g minor. The beginning is very famous and I like the symphony and I found we've got it on CD in a box set I bought very cheaply years ago.Bilingual Blah Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349305603748940897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18222232.post-1138454404552683122006-01-28T14:20:00.000+01:002006-01-28T14:20:00.000+01:00Mozart is one of my favourites for reading or stud...Mozart is one of my favourites for reading or studying. His work is usually light and pleasant, but not obtrusive.<BR/><BR/>However, I have a friend who studied music--even went to University to study it--and he finds classical music to be distracting, because he knows so much of it. For him, it's like listening to an oldies pop/rock station. Every so often, he'll hear something that will take his focus away from what he is doing because it brings back a memory or a thought.jeopardygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244339636245489613noreply@blogger.com
