Classical musicians lack empathy
I mean the kind of empathy that is required when attending to someone and relating to what they really mean. In the subtext so to speak.
This is often very evident on this subreddit.

I hate Mozart
We started learning Mozart Eine Kleine de Nachtmusik in my school orchestra today and I hate it so much. I play violin and usually have good posture, but I was crossing my legs as we sightread it. That’s how you know things are bad.
I just can’t stand Mozart. His music is way too cheerful, it sounds like when I have to force a smile for a family photo. Shostakovich is way better.
(I think this sounds like a proper circlejerk post, but genuinely all of this is /uj)

I don't understand how people can focus with classical music on at all
For me, if the music is too complex, my mind drifts away and I focus on the music instead. For this reason I never listen to classical while studying or working.
If you do, how do you do it? Doesn't it distract you from studying?
More "relaxed" pieces are worse because they make me sleepy.

Was Luigi Cherubini trans?
He was literally called given the name Maria when he was born. Does it make him the first trans composer in history?

What kind of injury did he get? Did he get a slipped disc from putting too much lube on a Berlin Philharmoniker CD while trying fuck it, or tendonitis from improper form?

Do you agree with this statement? Der Abschied from Das Lied von der Erde and the first movement of Gustav Mahler’s Ninth Symphony surpass, in terms of pure musical beauty, anything written later in the first half of the twentieth century.
I remember hearing this once from a certain Mahlerologist, and it’s been bothering me ever since.
