A Classical Music Thread

[CrackerJack]

May I suggest a Classical Music Thread example, Grieg, Rachmaninoff, Chopin etc.. Thread or somewhere to post our choices be created in the appropriate section or a Thread where those of us enjoy some of the Classics can pop in and listen and post? Being new on SF I am a bit cautious of creating my own Threads at the moment.

Lovely, george-alfred!
Always a pleasure to see that the arts are international in scope and can affect every heart.

Rhapsody in Blue

I love classical music.

But I have to say as much as I love it, when I'm in the forum, I'm looking for personal interactions, snappy chat, humor, art, food as well as music. I'm not going to listen to anything more than 3 minutes when I want to cruise the forum.

What I will do, if it's a YT post, is click the Save for Later button, and enjoy it on YT when I'm not in the forum.

So, thanks.

You should start your Classical music thread here.... https://www.seniorforums.com/forums/entertainment.19/

Maybe one of the admins could switch forums. Otherwise?? "A rose by any other name.........."

Love your new avatar. Looks like the person I "see" when you "speak!"

Favorite Nocturne. Thanks for starting this! I haven't listed to this album in years and am very much enjoying it tonight.

This is one of the most difficult compositions to play - by someone who can see; let alone someone who can't:

Yes, I feel the same. I like to sit back and relax when listening to music. I wouldn't enjoy it properly under these circumstances.

Land of the Mountain and the Flood by Hamish MacCunn

The title is taken from "Breathes there the man" by Sir Walter Scott..

O Caledonia! stern and wild,
Meet nurse for a poetic child!
Land of brown heath and shaggy wood,
Land of the mountain and the flood,
Land of my sires! what mortal hand
Can e’er untie the filial band.
