Why we listen to new music

I found piano trio's to be quite nice compared to other forms of classical music. In part, I realized, it's because it sounds a bit more like a band compared to complete orchestra's.

My favorite piano trio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e52IMaE-3As

Great piece indeed ! I knew I already heard it (and the comments told me where). Great interpretation.

As a fan of dissonance, I’m more listening to Stravinsky, but I also like some Dvorak (not sure to spell the name right). But I still think I’m not ready yet (despite being nearly 50)

Thanks for the link anyway !

Well, I'm 31 and what helped me was a girlfriend who was brought up with this stuff and dragged me to every opera and classical music performance in town (I exaggerate a bit, but you get the idea). Forcing yourself to getting a lot of exposure is a method that, albeit uncomfortable, worked for me.

Dvorak is a favorite of mine as well. I'm a fan of Dumky. I haven't listened to Stravinsky while knowing it was him, so I'll have a look!

Edit: listening to the soldiers tale of Stravinsky. It sounds like video game music that could almost be in a Zelda game.
