I listen to music at work a lot. I listen to Black Sabbath. I want to visit Italy. I am focusing on my career. I have a career in safety. I don't have much free time to travel. I love Volkswagen beetles. I don't normally listen to classical music. I like the Moonlight Sonata. I listen to music while doing tasks at work. I usually listen to old rock.
Beethoven's moonlight sonata is my favorite. I just listen to the classics. I have hand guns. I watch British tv. My grandmother is from Italy. Her favorite song is iron man. I have a Black Volkswagen Beetle. Black is my favorite color. I want to travel the world. I plan to visit Italy this summer. I've never been to Italy before.
What are some other classical pieces you'd recommend for someone unfamiliar with it? You probably know about Mozart and Bach, but I'd really recommend someone like Anton Dvorak.  He is a little later than Beethoven, but really is the height of the "Romantic Era" that Beethoven ushered in.  Dvorak? How do you say that? LOL. What stuff of his would I have heard in movies and such? If you have ever heard the iconic Jaws theme -- duuuuhhh DUUHUHHH...Dvorak's (I pronounce it Duh-vor-CZAK) ninth symphony actually has that same theme, but it builds into something really interesting. So John Williams stole from the best...He's pretty smart then! Genius steals. Ninth symphony? I think I've heard Beethoven's ninth. Is Dvorak German? Austrian? Dvorak is Czech and born near Prague, though it was part of the Austrian Empire when he was born.  You will find that John Williams borrowed a lot of themes, though he puts them to good use.  The opening to Star Wars is right out of film music by Korngold! There's nothing new under the sun. I bet Korngold in turn got ideas from someone else.  Oh, I am sure!  A lot of film scores probably do a little of that and they tend to be a bit more simpler than a fully composed piece of classical music.  I just really love that full orchestra sound.  But I love a little metal on the side as well! I bet you've found the influence of classical music in metal music too! Yes.  If you want to hear some really "metal" classical music, check out Holst and "Mars the bringer of war."  I bet you have heard it and don't even realize it!  What was the last song you heard today? Holst...Wrote something about planets? I bet "Mars" is seriously metal. I listened to Blizzard of Ozz. Randy Rhodes was the guitarist right?  He really was bringing classical guitar into the metal world and you can hear it in his playing!
