So,
In my opinion the music has been trash as of late. So trash, that I've been forced to
dig way back in the past for music that my ears and feelings can relate to. And a few of those
genres of music I found myself listening to was Classical music from the Baroque era. So far
Bach's "G Minor", Beethoven's "Silence", and Mozart's "Requiem in D Minor". But so far, my favorite
one has been Bach's "G Minor". I LOVE hearing it so much that I make time to play it every morning
at least twice. I couldn't sleep, so I'm up listening to it right now.
favorites? What are some pieces that you can't go without listening to? How long have you been a fan of
classical music?
I wish more providers would just put on classical music during our sessions, especially younger providers. Their definition of 'soft' music is far different than mine. Niki Minaj or Arianna Grand may be light compared to gangster rap music, but it is not a mood enhancer.
I prefer more contemporary 'classical' piano like George Winston. Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto 1 and pretty much anything Mozart is my preference, Beethoven not so much. For a party trick, you can remember Mozart Symphony No. 40 Molto Allegro because it sounds like, "Oh my God, oh my God this is Mozart" if you sing that phrase out loud.
Posting first before thread goes to hell in a hand basket.
I'm not going to lie... I've never played classical music during a session because I thought it a little too deep...
I don't play hip-hop or R&B unless requested, definitely no Nicki Minaj or Ariana Grande while on the clock.
When I 1st started out the music was tricky, none of what I chose to play fit the mood. Lately I've taken to
playing contemporary Jazz like Ronny Jordan & Sade Adu and othe jazz artists like Gary Taylor. Sometimes I'll
do a little bit of soul music or older R&B along the lines of Brian McKnight etc.
I usually like sensual background music but a good classical piece I could see myself playing during a session
would be Schubert's "Serenade"
If you have Pandora, Adele Radio Station or Taylorswift Radio Station works pretty well for me. I don't know about others, but providers seem to like it. They comment its a good mood for music. Pretty innocuous IMHO.
I do!
My go-to playlists are usually "Relaxing Classical" or piano works (My favorite albums are something I save to make memories for my all time favorite gents!)
There's something about classical which is so suited to creating an emotional ambiance over a period of time... like a perfume does, not a statement piece of decor 
Then ask what kind of music they like. Most leave it to classic rock.
Lol.
Yesssss
But I ask. I've had a few dates lately where the music was the found of our breath, the whispers in the ear...
Ugggghghghhhh so sexy. I need to get laid asap lmfaooo
I like music, but sometimes the music our bodies & vocal reactions create an opera of its own.

But my all time favorite is much more modern. Carl Orff's Carmina Burana is just amazing orchestral and choral music. It gets me energized every time.
It's been a very long time since I've played any Baroque or other Classical music. You've peaked my interest, perhaps now is the time
Of course Ravel's Bollero is one of the sexiest pieces of music to play by.
Winter is my favorite!
Listening to it now.
Glad to have peaked you're interest. A lot of my friend's can't relate to what I listen to for the most part.
Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" is a great piece, I like to play it when I'm in a good mood or when I'm brainstorming.
And you're absolutely correct! Bolero is a very sexy and playful piece. The way the melodies descend through the
octaves in this piece is genius! The bass line and accompaniment flow together deliciously. Definitely a treat for the
senses.
Listening to Bach “G Minor” as I type this. Love Vivaldi’s Four Season’s, with Summer being my favorite. Then Winter. Love Grieg’s Piano Concerto. My favorite composition ever is Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto 2.
I listen to classical music all day and very much enjoy fucking to it.
Thank you for sharing your faves with me! I've never fucked to it, but I'm open to it.
Not a big fan of Bach, but I like Vivaldi, Beethoven and Mozart, just to name a few. I have never been into top 40, I have always gravitated towards underground music.
Can you share your underground favorites with a humble newcomer?
As far as underground, it's mostly metal, punk, and alternative /indie rock. Some metal examples: Cannibal Corpse, Dragonforce, and Testament. Punk: NOFX, Dropkick Murphys and Bad Religion. General alternative/indie: Social Distortion, The Donnas, The Reverend Horton Heat.
beautiful, Pachelbel's Canon in D is simple but there is so much there. It's a great piece and vey relaxing. Vivaldi's Cello Concertos. Mozart symphonies great. Beethoven's Ode to Joy from his 9th Symphony will get you going and lift your spirit. The Moonliight Sonata. Dvorak's Symphony No. 5 From the new world (The New World Symphony) Is exhilarating. The the tune from the second movement was used for the spiritual Going Home.
Jean Sibelius Finlandia beautiful orchestration.
...so many more.
I definitely agree! Pachelbel's "Cannon in D" is a remarkable piece, just a classic. I used to always hear it as a child
whenever I visited my grandparents. They were huge fans of classical music from the Baroque era.
Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" is something one cannot miss when taking the time to listen. I cried when I 1st heard it.
Right now I'd say that "Ode to Joy" and "Moonlight Sonata" are my favorite pieces so far from Beethoven. I've been
replaying the few pieces I like to hear, which has taken time away from exploring others.
Thank you for sharing these few pieces. I will have plenty of time to go through and take a good listen.
Music of late has been absolute trash. So much so, in fact, that I honestly believe it's even a stretch to call it music. I like lots of genres, 60's & 70's rock being a fave era but there are some classical musicians/pieces I can't live without as well. Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, and Ravel's Bolero and Gerswin's Rhapsody in Blue are sexy as fuck.
What's on the radio today is not even music. It's blasphemy to even call it that now that I sit and think about it.
I listen to a vast array of music and like to move around.
I'll have to take a listen to Gerswin's Rhapsody in Blue...
That's great, hon, let me know what you think. Also check out the youtube links to 2 different versions of Ravel's Bolero below if you haven't already (mrfisher has one and mine is right below his). Cheers.
but often find that classical (and other forms of music, for that matter) occupy my mind so much that I miss out on focusing on the business at hand, i.e. the ravishing creature I am canoodling with.
I seldom have music playing during a session, but when I do, it is something meditative. My tantrica likes to play Buddhist chanting for example, and there was one particularly apt piece named Thursday Afternoon by Brian Eno which runs about one hour and which provided the background for a one hour FBSM I would enjoy with one long term MP gal I knew every Thursday afternoon, as it turned out. The piece would start out very serene, but build to a crescendo (or what passes for a crescendo for Mr. Eno, anyways) and then drift off languidly for the last fifteen minutes which paralleled our session just perfectly. I strongly suspect that Eno wrote this piece as an accompaniment to my sessions.
I could never flag any particular piece of classical music as my all time favorite, there are simply too many fabulous works to choose from, but I suppose if there is one that is apropos for a session, it would have to be Ravel's Bolero, for reasons that are so obvious to even the uninformed listener.
Voila:
Frank Zappa's Bolero in Barcelona. His final tour.
with soft horns, drums, some piano is my preference when I meet my lady, followed by the classics.
So if I have the choice for music, I choose jazz, then classics.
Hello,
I just attended the Atlanta Symphony's rendition of Mozart's Requiem last Saturday night. I always tell everyone that even if you don't like or understand classical music, the music will wash over you and touch your emotions. I sing bass and would much rather sing in the chorus than than be the bass soloist.
Mozart.... you name it... I love it!! It's true, real and beautiful music to my ears! I would go to a orchestra concert every week if I had the chance to.
