I had been depressed for nearly five years. During that time I could not bear Mozart’s music because it’s too much joy and it is too fast paced.Instead I listened a lot to Beethoven’s. But now things changed. I’m now listening to Mozart and enjoyed it.
Which one do you like more between Beethoven and Mozart?
Ok, it seems nowadays nobody listens to Mozart or Beethoven. These two giants’ music are too old for contemporary people.
Mostly Mozart cheers me up and mellows me out and Beethoven improves my cognition. I like them both.
I like Mozart’s Symphony 25 in G-Major, it lifts my mood. Don Giovanni-Commandatore too. I really only like Beethoven at Christmas, he brings me down otherwise.
I think I can understand a bit of this effect of Beethoven.
I told a girlfriend once, long ago, that listening to “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel made me sad. She told me, “Don’t listen to that song.”
They’re not too “old” for me. I love them. My all time favorite piece in the world is “Moonlight Sonata” by Beethoven.
Right now, the soundscape in my head is a modified “Close to the Edge” during the “I Get Up, I Get Down” section. I can’t get rid of it.
In all honesty I prefer 70’s rock to classical. I like words.
I honestly don’t get how anyone can “hate” Mozart?
I’m more of a high-tempo music person, even when depressed, although the content types change.
I understand your question. When I hated Mozart’s music I was in a condition of depression. My world was sad, heavy and slow while most of Mozart’s music is quick, joyful and lighthearted. My heart could not follow the pace of Mozart’s music. That’s why I said I hated it. A bit of exaggeration.
Beethoven. Mozart is too happy for me.
I understand. When I was both depressed and suicidal, the hard rock group, Alice in Chains, was my favorite band. And their album, Dirt, was my favorite depressive album. And I adore Beethoven.
When I was depressed the worst, Britpop was becoming big. It seemed that I was locked out of enjoying it. There was a song “The day we caught the train”. I felt I was the only one that had missed it.
