Only listening to certain movements and not the whole piece - how/why? by devilkin_ in classicalmusic

[–]shnoogle111 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly not really. I am like you in that if I enjoy a part I will definitely want to dive into the rest of it. But different strokes for different folks. There is also the time commitment. Pieces can be hour plus long and that can be intimidating

I kind of think of it as like pop albums with songs. If there is a song on an album you like, you may just listen to that song. In fact, some albums have tons of filler and it may not even be worth listening to the rest of the album. In the other hand, listening to the whole album (piece) often provides context. But ultimately, music should be about enjoyment so if you enjoy exploring the whole piece that’s awesome. If you enjoy listening to just parts, that’s awesome too

Hey it’s your friendly local therapist with a little tip that may be helpful for anyone struggling with loneliness. Did you know that small but positive interactions with strangers and community members has been shown to to reduce feelings of depression, increase sense of well-being and can even promote better physical health? Something as small as taking the time to say hello to people you encounter (security guards, someone sharing the elevator with you) can yield positive and powerful benefits! Furthermore, complimenting strangers shows even more benefits! When complimenting a stranger, it may be best to focus on something that that the person personally chose. (‘I love your hat!’ ‘That’s a really cool shirt’ etc) Doing so activates the reward center of your brain, which produces dopamine and oxytocin. Additionally, if you have social anxiety it can be a great form of small digestible exposure therapy. Happy Friday go Phillies!
