I know the question is a bit vague, but I’m hoping people will interpret this however they see fit an give their own experiences.

To be honest, I’m struggling a bit with this right now and would enjoy reading others’ experiences.

    As a big consumer of classical music, I eventually made my way over to soundtracks and have been loving those often more. I love the melodies that a lot of classical or romantic music has, but you get that mixed with more modern composing techniques. Not just movie soundtracks but shows or anything. One of my favorite I’d recommend is The Social Network soundtrack.

      I’m still working my way up to listening to symphonies. I’ve mainly been listening to sonatas, concertos, and things like quartets and stuff. But of the few symphonies I’ve listened to so far, that’s one thing I noticed. They reminded me a lot of all the movie soundtracks I’ve heard throughout my life.

      It sounds stupid since soundtracks are commonly played by a full orchestra, so what else what they sound like. But I just never made that connection before that they’re basically modern day classical music haha.

      That’s a good idea though, thanks! I’ll mix in some soundtracks to my classical music exploration.

      How to Train Your Dragon theme Test Flight has a soundtrack that transcends the movie. The composer went hard on that movie to the likes of John Williams. Speaking of John Williams, I can’t get the theme of Jurassic Park out of my head.
