Ever been obliged to study or play a piece of music you can't stand?
Ever have to sit through a concert patiently as tones as pleasing
as awkwardly chewed nails on a chalk board with fabulous acoustics?
A piece of music you've been told is brilliant that makes you want to slap the composer,
or if they're deceased, exhume and then slap them?

In short: what's a piece of music that really pisses you off?
Feel free to add recordings.....

Weber-plus-clarinet is always a bit of a struggle for me...

Für Elise. Despite endless fatal encounters suffered at the hands of countless music students, this piece survives!

Anything by Andre Rieu.

In spite of the fact that segments of it are effective,
if I hear O Fortuna from Carmina Burana used in another commercial, movie trailer,
corporate conference or comedy sketch I will lose my mind.

Dare I say that Pachelbel's Canon is like Chinese water torture? I know I should love it, but... ... ...

All's fair.
If I had time I'd pinpoint the several instances of plain bad voice leading
in P's Canon. Alas, I don't.

Quote of the Day

"Remember Handel? Who, that was not born
Deaf as the dead to harmony, forgets,
Or can, the more than Homer of his age?"
Cowper
