@@karrotkakeI’d say the pieces that people like to listen to consist of the beginner-intermediate difficulty. Some examples (sleeping lotus, idea 10, this piece, ballerina, Claire de lune) you wouldn’t casually listen to most complex pieces because there’s a lot going on. I feel like complex pieces need your attention for you to truly enjoy them. Like live performances for example. Seeing a skilled musician play a hard piece is an amazing experience. There’s many exceptions though. Many complex pieces are enjoyable to listen to casually, though, it’s usually the easier pieces that people would rather listen to casually.
@@benjaminpastora7483 yeah exactly, i agree with you. i think thats one of the main reasons why classical music is generally neglected. i mean you can also sort of train your mind to enjoy complex music without having to put your full attention into it, though that takes lots of time and patience. my point is just that youre generally gonna enjoy complex pieces more aslong as you spend enough time listening to them so that you can fully understand and enjoy them, and i feel like for a piece to truly be great it has to have some form of complexity, and the perfect amount of it (and plus complex music doesnt often get repetitive like pieces that lack complexity do, eg minimalism and most modern music today). i mean dont get me wrong, i think minimalistic/simple pieces can still be good. i mean after all the goal of simple music is to be easy to listen to for people with shorter attention spans, while also being enjoyable and having melodies that are easy to follow along to, of course not all music has to be complex to be good. id also like to clarify that complexity and difficulty are pretty different things. for example an intermediate piece by say someone like bach, scriabin, debussy, ravel or prokofiev would normally be harder to understand and enjoy, and likely be more harmonically complex than your average chopin etude or early liszt piece (not saying that they lacked complexity, chopin and liszt especially had very complex music). even clair de lune, one of the pieces you mentioned, is actually a pretty complex piece, just one thats easy to listen to, mainly because it doesnt have much dissonance, and doesnt move along really quick like many other pieces of that time would (not to mention the nice melodies which often repeat themselves a few times)
@@benjaminpastora7483 i would say it is true, greatness in music is normally defined by things like innovation, good structure/not too much repetition (in order to not get repetitive too easily), emotions/colours, and basically just whatever music you can get the most enjoyment out of overall, no matter how much attention you need to put into the music, and no matter how many listens it takes to understand the music. all of these things normally fit into the idea of complexity.
Idk why I imagine like the end of a apocalypse movie with this sound at the background and at the end a photograph of the friends and family of the protagonist
Ich fühle das Klavier mit der Stimmung des Komponisten. Konzentration auf die Musik? Könnte sich nicht entscheiden und auf eine Sache Konzentrieren. iQ nicht Messbar!
