In Reply to: What Classical Music Genre do you find yourself listening to most? posted by John C. - Aussie on February 20, 2015 at 21:48:16:
I listen mostly to music starting with Beethoven, although I do like selective works by Bach (including the works for solo cello and solo violin).
I really have tried with modern composers and I do like some of them, but I do not like excessive dissonance and most modernism leaves me cold.
I listen mostly to orchestral music, including concertos, but also enjoy chamber music, both solo instrument and small ensemble.
I do not *listen* to opera, but I like some opera works and love to see them live and watch on video.
That said, classical does not consume *all* of my listening time.
