I’ve seen a lot of curious people wanting to dive into classical music but don’t know where to start, so I have written out a list of pieces to listen to depending on mood. I’ve only put out a few, but please add more if you want to. hope this helps y’all out. 🙂

stereotypical delightful classical music:

if you need to chill:

if you need to sleep:

if you need to wake up:

if you are feeling very proud:

if you feel really excited:

if you are angry and you want to take a baseball bat and start hitting a bush:

if you want to cry for a really long time:

if you want to feel like you’re on an adventure:

if you want chills:

if you want to study:

if you really want to dance:

if you want to start bouncing in your chair:

if you’re about to pass out and you need energy:

if you want to hear suspense within music:

if you want a jazzy/classical feel:

if you want to feel emotional with no explanation:

if you want to sit back and have a nice cup of tea:

pieces that don’t really have a valid explanation:

pieces that just sound really cool:

if you feel like listening to concertos all day (I do not recommend doing that):

and if you really just hate classical music in general:

a lot of these pieces apply in multiple categories, but I sorted them by which I think they match the most. have fun exploring classical music!

also, thank you to viola-ology, iwillsavemyworld, shayshay526, eternal-cadenza, tropicalmunchakoopas, shadowraven45662, and thelonecomposer for adding on! if you would like to add on your own suggestions, please reblog and add on or message me so I can give you credit for the suggestion!

Let me just add a few of my favourite things I didn’t see on the list (or maybe I’m just blind)

Something haunting: 
great fugue (beethoven)

Cheerful music:
rage over a lost penny (beethoven)
slavonic dance nr 1 (dvorak)

Impressive orchestral work:
slavonic dance nr 8 (dvorak)
overture to leonore (beethoven)
vltava (smetana)

Some fancy baroque music that’s generally just pretty:
oboe concertos (albinoni)

A wonderful piece by a composer people often forget about:
violin concerto no 1 in g minor (bruch)

And something fun I found while searching for a better version of the Hungarian Dance No 5:
hungarian dance nr 5 (modern cover)

Please listen to this and if you can’t listen on Spotify here’s a Youtube link SERIOUSLY THIS VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER.

It sounds so ethereal without the beat of the rafio version.
