Developing an Appreciation of Classical Music

Classical music is at once one of the best known and least understood forms of music, and many music fans who feel they would never like classical music are surprised at just how enjoyable it can be.

Of course, classical music can take a great many forms, and not every music fan will appreciate every kind of classical music. To some people, classical music is best enjoyed in a crowded concert hall, with a glass of wine and good company. To others, the best classical music is enjoyed alone, perhaps in a darkened room with a great stereo system. Still others will enjoy making their own classical music in the company of family and friends, perhaps playing their own piano or enjoying a night out.

For those who are unfamiliar with classical music, there are many places to begin your classical education. One of the best places to start to learn about classical music is with your local public radio station. Just about every market in the country has at least one public radio station, and many public radio stations have extensive classical music programming during their broadcast day. In addition, the announcers on these stations are usually quite well versed in all aspects of classical music, so if you have a question about the art form they are a great place to start.

In addition to public radio, the many internet radio stations are a great way to introduce yourself to the world of classical music. There are a great many classical music stations on the internet, including many sub genres, such as classical guitar or classical piano. Scanning the music available at these sources is a great way to explore the breadth of classical music available and get started on your own appreciation.

For some listeners, an appreciation of classical music will come almost immediately, while for others it may take quite some time to develop an ear for the nuance and style that classical music represents. The time you take learning about classic music will be time well spent, though, and you may learn more than you ever intended about one of the oldest forms of music in the world.

Classical music has been with us for centuries, and chances are good that it will be with us for centuries to come. While other forms of music, from country and rock and roll to hip hop and rhythm and blues, may not be around five hundred years from now, chances are good that our great, great, great, great, great grandchildren will still be enjoying piano recitals, chamber music and other kinds of classical music.

What is the BEST classical guitar brand out there?

I am looking into buying a really nice classical guitar that will last me a lifetime. If you know any great brands out there please let me know. Im willing to spend around 1000-4000 dollars big price gap, i know, but of course if its quality and cheap that would be great. If Hofner from Germany is the best that would also be nice to know. Thanks in advance guys

This is like a really stupid question..it’s not a car.

Each ‘‘luthier’’ make guitars with different sound qualities and a person may or may not like these qualities, it depends on the person.

The most expensive luthier now is the French Daniel Friederich who sells his guitars for $60K. After him comes the German Matthew Dammann who seels a guitar for $45K.

The oldest company and the most famous name, however, is José Ramírez. And right after them there is Conde Hermanos. Although classicals as well, Conde Hermanos are the most famous name in flamenco guitars history.

Too famous names will be really overpriced in your price range. But I think famous names like Contreras, Téodoro Pérez, Kenny Hill, Loriente are all great!!!!
