Do you like classical music? What even is classical music? Generally it is European music composed from the 11th century onward, with various periods known for a certain sound and style, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and to the present day! (thanks Wikipedia)

There is a lot classical music out there, some is very well known and you will have certainly have heard before such as The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss:

And some not so much such I Giorni by still alive Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi, though if you live in the UK you will have possibly heard the BBC use this:

Some is very old like Greensleeves, possibly/possibly not written by Henry the Eighth (lets not go there), there are much older by far I’m sure, though this is the 1500s:

And some can have that modern feel of jazz that George Gershwin creates in the 1920s that proved very popular in movies:

It can be somber and sad such as Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber:

Or lively! Party on Jupiter.

I've been enjoying a lot of classical music lately, maybe we could share some? What do you enjoy most?

Maybe this thread will die after the first page, who knows!
