Indeed... My two year old enjoyed immensely (she also likes the Breeders lol)
Anyway, can you recommend a less-known one that also has an upbeat tempo? I feel like I need something that's not already downloaded into my brain, in order to rekindle my interest in his works (Which I really should do now that my toddler has demonstrated an interest... Her "musical intelligence"--per Howard Gardner's theory on Multiple Intelligences--is already proving higher than my own and I need something unfamiliar to motivate me to play him more often)... |

Let me better explain what I mean by "upbeat"...
Orchestrated pieces always sound like they are telling a story. Like all stories, there's a range of emotions, tempos, and transitions, and can't easily be categorized one-dimensionally. However, even the greatest stories generally fall into one of two categories: comedy vs. tragedy. Both categories will have elements of the other category while still remaining predominantly one or the other. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I enjoy "comedies" the best when it comes to classical pieces (probably because I usually play classical when I'm working and it seems to make me more productive). Will check out that recommendation. Thanks, little dude |

I like Beethoven, but Bach is probably the only earlier composer that I like anywhere near as well as even minor composers from around the 1880s on. I like classical a lot more once the harmonic and rhythmic palette opened up a lot more in the modern era.

Bach fans must learn of Carlo Gesualdo.
