Great Pieces of Classical Music You Don't Enjoy

[ACCtuary]

Assuming you like some classical music.

I played classical violin for 15 years - great exposure to lots of pieces. Put Mozart on, esp. some of his piano pieces...and I'll walk out of the room.

Happy 250th Birthday to him, by the way.

I was about to say today is not a good day for you to be listening to classical radio.

Beethoven's piano concerto#5 ("Emperor") is the most boring thing ever. In general he's a great composer.

I'm not a big fan of stuff by Charles Ives. I'm assuming you're using the term classical liberally and not referring to the classical era specifically.

[ACCtuary]

Anything by Wagner.
Many pieces of Program Music from the 19th C. particularly Mendelsohn's Fingal's Cave.
Getting kind of tired of Pictures at an Exhibition

Yes, in the liberal sense.
I'm not a big fan of Ralph Vaughan Williams.

I enjoyed the slow sections of the first movement of the Emperor. But the whole reason I posted these genre of thread was to generate some independent thoughts on the 'old warhorses'

I agree with you there. Unfortunately, I'm working on one of the piano sonatas this semester.

Anything not written in the baroque or classical eras.

Vivaldi rocks

My husband likes to play Stravinski's Rite of Spring.
At MAXIMUM volume.

I find a reason to go to some other room, or (preferably) on an errand out of the house.
