mood and clasical music

[ashraf_khalil72]

are classical music lesteners have adeppresed mood rather than an elevated one
are they nearer to sadness rather happyness?

it depends on what music you are playing or listening to.  it used to be that my emotions were so dependent on the music i would actually cry when listening or playing a certain piece.  that was then.  now, i am toughened up.  music cannot manipulate me this way unless SOMEONE ELSE is playing.

i hear the music in my head and try to reproduce it.  this takes so much effort that i do not have time for really a lot of emotion (in terms of sobbing - in which you cannot look at your hands or see the keys) and i've found dripping nose to be terrible.

no, you should not wear your feelings on your sleeve.  be detached, yet clearly emote. have feelings, but don't sacrifice them for too much or too little of what is reality.  give them reality (no matter how painful or happy) and don't sugar coat it.  if you love harmonies and colors, bring them out.  don't try to be like a certain pianist, but learn your own style (whether emotional, more detached, or inbetween)  match your true personality to your musical personality.

Classical music is certainly more polar in the emotion scale than modern music.

i'm not depressed!! sure i'll be in a crappy mood sometimes but i listen to classical music to get out of that. cos there's so much choice in emotion i can find an entire playlist of sad pieces and listen to them and have a cry and then i feel better!! i think if you listen to it properly it can uplift you, no matter what piece it is. classical music makes me happy!
however my grandma finds classical music depressing, my mum finds choral music depressing, but i just told her she only thinks that cos she doesn't know what they're singing about and she's not listening properly.

I'm all over the mood spectrum with or without music... But it is tricky to properly play a slow, heavy piece when it's a bright sunny day outside, or to play a cheerful Haydn sonata during a dark stormy winter night.
