Recently, I am not listening to anything but classics, for I need to remember and do many exercises. Before, I also would choose to listen to some animation background music, but I renewed my idea after I found that such music are attract my attentions as the same as lyrics included songs!
Therefore, for having a good concentration, I stacked a tiny pile of classic CD’s—which replaced the animations’. Although sometimes I still will be drag off from my concentration, this pile of CD’s surely worked (at least I think so).
Now just talk about them.

Piano is the Best
The best choice is a piano compilation of romantic musicians: Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Liszt, and Mozart; KLEINE STUCKE GROBER MEISTER, made by PILZ CD, Germany, 1988, which my aunt brought there. This piano pieces have a modest speed, and a good melodies. I don’t like impressionism, because I can hardly find a clear melody line and such “vague music” always make me faint…

Night with Chopin
In the night, I will choose Chopin’s nocturnes. In all his nocturnes, I only get strong impressions on a few pieces, the B Flat Minor Op. 9-1, the E Flat Major Op. 9-2, and E Major Op. 62-2, but all are so silent and so peaceful, so delicate and so gossamer, that I don’t want to make any noise to trouble it, then my heart also get quieted. During the whole night, I can have an ease study time.

The Well-Tempered Afternoon
J. S. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier complete by Sviatoslav Richter, I’ve been cherished the 4-CD-suit since my high school days. I don’t if it’s the most famous version, (for I still have a 2-DVD-suit version of this work, which I can’t understand all its introduction for the absence of subtitle >_<,) I like this version. The tiny noise in the background gets the CD’s listened little sepia, simple and quiet. This work is very fit for a hot summer afternoon, for you can find the cool from the music.

Four Twilight Violins
The world-famous four violin concerto, I also cherish a compilation of them. Someone, like Mrs Eri, my mother, thinks such emotional music is not fit for study and hot summer, but I don’t. “Why you listen so ‘hot’ works in the torrid time?” she asked so. “Because I just like.” Certainly, the more they are emotional, the efficient I have . Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, and Brahms, four famous musician and four splendid works!

Mozart is all the Time
It’s said that listen to Mozart will get you lucid. I don’t know whether it’s right, I do it only think Mozart’s music is catchy (which is like Kajiura’s) but you can put it in the background (which is don’t like Kajiura’s). Also you will not feel tired on the repeated CD. So when I’m inactive to stand up for changing of CD, I will set the player to repeat a Mozart’s disk. I can even enjoy the same CD in a whole day.

Just Avoid Beethoven
I accept most classic during study, but Beethoven’s (beside his violin concerto), especially his three famous piano sonatas and the best-known symphony No.9. His piano sonatas, “Moonlight,” “Pathetique,” and “Appassionata,” I feel I can’t stay at ease even in the 1st movement of “Moonlight.” In other parts, in spite of the emotional expression of music, I can deal of them well, those deep-pitched notes almost drive me mad! Low! They’re too LOW! As to his Symphony No.9, do you think here I still need to tell all? Just want to take care of my study, I decided that I will avoid Beethoven in my study.

Enjoy the Classic
Classic is not such opaque like someone said, they are friendly to your nerve. When you are tired about the current pops, to take an excursion to classic, and you may fall in love with classic from now on. In each time of I impressing on the Baroque regularity, of I grin for Haydn’s surprised tone trick, of I lamenting on Tchaikovsky’s depressed grandeur, of I humming with “Hallelujah,” I will be satisfied with myself.

Study that immersing in the classic is not bad, exactly.
