Classical music has been known to have a calming effect on many people. The slow tempo and soothing melodies can help reduce stress and anxiety, and can even lower blood pressure and heart rate. Additionally, the structure and complexity of classical music may also provide a sense of order and balance that can be soothing to the mind. However, It may not work for everyone and it also depend on individual's taste and preference.

 

I personally find Baroque music (sub-genre of classical music) relaxing 

 

What about u? 

I actually find it quite disturbing. It can be very loud sometimes. 

Yes, I saved the Interestellar song in my playlist, which I also learned to play on piano. From then, Spotify recommends sometimes classical songs. The last one I saved is Gymnopedie No. 1. This song >>>>>>>>>>>>> pop girls careers

i like it with a disco beat . a couple of examples that were hit singles in the 70's and 80's.. otherwise it can be quite boring .

Sometimes, but sometimes it annoys me. I am also tired of these people who think they are superior just because they listen to classical music (but they're usually the biggest clowns irl). Bach and Beethoven legends tho

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you can often hear expressions like "relaxing" or "good to study" associated with classical music and I think it's a stereotype that ultimately comes from a limited and superficial knowledge of it. Which is fine, I mean, not everyone has to be an expert, but I encourage you to explore more if it fascinates you! The emotions and feelings it can convey have actually ocean deep range.

 

Would you describe this as relaxing?

Yep. Classical music can convey a wide range of emotions, including darkness and sadness. In fact, many famous classical compositions are known for their melancholic or tragic themes. For example, Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" is known for its somber and introspective first movement, while Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" ballet is known for its tragic and emotional storyline.

Not at all. It's grating to the ears and lacks a catchy chorus

it is for me, yeah, i use it to sleep better

It is relaxing in some ways, but also exciting most of the times. Baroque music is the best. When I listen to it, it makes me believe there is actually a God, and his name is Bach. 

mostly no, because they sound like classic random playlists in streaming or youtube and they are too melodic too shallow no **** given

 

electroacoustics >

no. Wagner, for example, fills me with existential dread

How you listen is also crucial, I doubt that'd be the effect in a concert hall, where the wall of sound literally makes your body vibrate. But hey, everybody's wired differently.

not at all. most classical music is very strident. people who find classical music relaxing dont really know classical music

Ahhh we love classical music! I listen to it all day at work + nighttime routine! 
Mica Levi’s Jackie (2016) soundtrack & Aldo Ciccolini are my current faves at the moment!!
