Hey guys,

I'm looking for some music to listen to when I do work. Mostly in the classical vein. I'm pretty much a noob about classical music, so I don't really know much anything about composers and music. Right now, I'm finding that Beethoven pieces and Yiruma work very well, but I want to know if there's anything else that works for you guys, or that you would suggest.

Any thoughts?

I personally enjoy listening to John's Williams's interpretations of Bach's Lute Suites when I work/study. Check them out if you like the guitar too.

Not classical, but a very talented cello player, Zoe Keating. Her stuff is available on iTunes, and really good to listen to while working.

you'd probably like beethoven's violin concerto
mendelssohn's and tchaikovsky's are overplayed violin concertos that you're expected to know if you listen to any classical music at all

Maybe Mozart piano sonatas/concertos. Handel's "Water Music" is nice and calm. Bach's music supposedly rouses and stimulates the brain. I like Sergei Prokofiev... he really puts a lot of emotion and romanticism into his music, so if you're doing creative writing or something that might be good. Just experiment, with the internet all the music is at your fingertips for free.

Brahms is terrific for working. Emotional, but not distracting.

Mozart's symphonies are light and sprite-y if you're into that kinda stuff.

Beethoven's probably too emotional and heavy for working...distracting =P But his piano sonatas are always nice to listen t.

Some Liszt piano stuff could be nice.
