Will listening to excessive classical music make one crazy?!
Question:
Will listening to excessive classical music make one crazy?
As opposed to pop music? Will it cause the mind and spirit to become a bit despondent or will some pieces give a 'high'. Please guide as i am a greenhorn about music. Thanks!
Answers:
It depends on what "kind" of classical music you're listening to, I guess. There's classical, romantic and there's this crazy impressionistic stuff that sounds like it was improvised... not to mention these creepy composers like Stockhausen and Berlioz...
Compared to pop music, however, I guess it all depends on your threshold for certain kinds of sound. Most people would find orchestral music ambient and relaxing, whilst finding pop music grating and primitive, since it's built up on this basic rhythmic formula and is often not as complex as the "classical" stuff....
Bear in mind that "classical" music is sort-of the foundation and jumping point of pretty much the rest of the music we all listen to today...
