Note to self:

DO NOT listen to Albinoni's Adagio or you ain't gonna get shit done. 🤦

That good?

@asgs That good. But depends on how open you are to temporary melancholia caused by music :P

@NoMad ok, not good then

@asgs nope, very very good! At what it does not at the feeling it gives, but hey, that's art.

Listen piano sonata 11 (Turkish March) or flight of the bumblebee to get shit done

@uyouthe

a) Mozart? nah.
b) Korsakov has better works.
c) what's next? Khachaturian's Sabre dance?

I can't listen to any piece I've played if I want to get anything done. Dvorak 6, 8 or 9, Tchaikovsky 5 or 6, Elgars enigma, cockaigne, Prokofiev, etc... I just find myself mentally, and sometimes rather physically fingering out the violin part with gusto.

Fukk Mozart. Fukk all of them. Unless it's paganini, sibelius, tchaikovsky, rachmaninoff, chopin, beethoven or liszt, im not lisztening. Who am I kidding, how can one not love the famous aria from the magic flute...

@AlmondSauce im the exact opposite, if i've played it myself, im so tired of it, I wont bother paying attention to it

@friend I find that *just* after playing a piece, but given the last time I played in an orchestra was over a decade ago, there's just fond memories now.

Plus I'm judging you for missing out Mahler, Ravel, and a bunch of others 😁

@AlmondSauce well, im sorry, and I do love the "resurrection" symphony, but as a pianist, I've never really been properly exposed to their music. It really hasn't grown on me as the aforementioned😅

@friend Heh, my first taste of Ravel was through being a pianist - specifically the sonatines.

@AlmondSauce I see, I have yet to touch them, or hear them, I'm busy working on other stuff, but I'll take a listen to Ravel one day
