M.C. Macabees Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 i play classical music all the time. it bugs my roomies a lot but then again, it really bugs me when they blast Ke$ha all the time. i kind of like Ke$ha, but not when I'm trying to study for A &P.

Vincent Vega Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Never cared much for Beethoven, or any of the classical composers, for that matter, really (I guess Haydn is not bad, though). Baroque is more my style (Händel and Bach, in that order). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Vega Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Haydn is very cool - I remember hearing a story that whenever he was experiencing "composer's block" he would pray the rosary until he was able to write again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] agreed, but thats the best I could find at short notice. I was not happy with some of the opening phrasings. Do you have a better version in mind?
