Okay I might be in a bad mood today but I just got so mad because I saw someone on rym complain on the reviews of a particular recording that the rite of spring (of all pieces) is a little too intense to be good background music for studying. and they had to detract a point for this. now I don't mean to sound pretentious because there's nothing wrong with studying to classical music and you don't have to like every piece of music but complaining it's not a good piece of music because it's distracting to you while you're trying to study. You know I wonder if that's because this piece of music was.....I don't know and maybe this is a crazy idea. Meant to be fucking listened to. This might be insane but I wonder if stravinsky did in fact go into composing it with more than the sole intention of just providing a piece of studyblr background music. Just a thought

#i dont have the haters temperament except when i do #like omfg idk it drives me crazy people talk this way about jazz too like its just music made solely to be like chill background music and #its like. have you considered that might not be the point at all #or just the idea that this is one tangible and uniform thing. like this isnt a huge catchall term #if you want to listen to Classical Music while studying thats totally fine but if youre like mmm my relaxing stravinsky thats on YOU not hi #like again nothing wrong if you didnt like/get it but dont tear down your man for writing an incredibly exciting piece of music like thats a #FAILING...
