I like classical, but I feel like sometimes you gotta be in the right headspace. Like taking a nice warm bath and settling into a comfortable chair.

Here's some Schubert. Lieder, under 6 minutes long. Brendel and Fischer-Dieskau. I think that length of works vs popular music is a big factor in people not getting into classical.

Final major work by Schubert before his premature death, which he knew was coming. I think that Uchida captures some of the emotional nuances of the piece here.

More Fischer-Dieskau, this time in Berlioz's Faust

That's very interesting XYZAB. Somewhat related to that, I've found that Schumann can be unsettling to me, and I think that it's related to his very likely bipolar disorder. Almost like my brain starts churning like Schumann's brain a bit.

The definition of classical music
Yeah I feel like there's no good solution to it and it's best to just call it classical music. Art music doesn't work, European tradition art music doesn't work, it's the least bad term available.
