This playlist is made up of some of my favorite pieces a like
to listen to for studying. Classical music is my favorite for when I have to
concentrate, and while you may not recognize some of the names, the themes of
the songs will sound very familiar.
1. Rhapsody in Blue
By
George Gershwin, the piece is one of the most diverse pieces ever written, and
I like to start out with it in because of its upbeat nature, which helps me get
by the initial reluctance to start studying.
2. Appalachian Spring
This
composition is by Aaron Copland, and I decided to put it second because while
it is upbeat, unlike Rhapsody in Blue it isn't in an unusual key, and is a good
way for me to transition into the themes of the next songs as well.
3. Fanfare for the Common Man
This is
also written by Aaron Copland, and because of its fast pace, it is a good way
to reenergize when you reach the half way point in your studies.
4. Pachelbel's Canon
Written
by Pachelbel, this piece is an absolute classic, and while its normally used
for ceremonial reasons, it's a great addition to this playlist.
5. . Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
True
the name may sound unfamiliar, but Beethoven's Eine Kleine, you will recognize immediately,
and since I've played it before in concerts and such it also has a very
personal connection with me.
