the nice thing about classical is you can have tastes in classical that are basic as hell like me but still sound educated and fancy

to wit, this is my favorite orchestral piece, my favorite piano piece is clair de lune which someone already mentioned, debussy and just impressionism in general are great. I think I saw on a list this was the 2nd most performed orchestral piece in the world in 2022 or something but I mean whatever it still slaps

the main downside of classical to me is that there's a bunch of pieces that I like but sometimes you just want to listen to the really pretty part and there's like 20 other minutes that are all chaotic or dissonant or otherwise don't have nearly the same vibe (tchaikovsky piano concerto 1 is a good example of this)

I was already used to this somewhat from listening to a lot of prog rock in my teens but sometimes it makes it a bummer


oh here is another really good famous classical bop

a great exposure to classical music is to watch the 80s anime Legend of Galactic Heroes

the entire soundtrack is public domain classical and it rules
