Yesterday, I rode my bike through the forest while listening to classical music...I kid you not, it sounds like the trees are making the music.

That is SO pretty! *dies*
That's really cool! I always feel like dancing in those kinds of settings!
I always listen to either Swan Lake, Nutcracker, or Sleeping Beauty when I stretch in the morning! I like being able to watch the ballet in my head while I stretch!

Really?! Awesome!! I'm so glad you guys liked it! Are you into classical music, Oliver?
I personally prefer jazz (a genre I've really been getting into lately) to classical, but I still love playing and listening to Bach, Beethoven, and Vivaldi.

Well, at least you like some of it! I agree that not all classical music is appealing. Do you have a favorite piece?

There is something about classical music that the other kinds of music can't do. They are beautiful and move a person in a better way. I'm afraid my favorites are ones you are sure to have heard before. So here's a fun thing I came across which is a unique combo of a well played violin and a more modern sound. And it actually sounds great.

That's nice Arkán... but I don't think I would classify that as classical. I think if you add techno or dubstep, it kinda defeats the purpose of classical.
Well then, this is not one of my favorite pieces, but it is one of my favorite instruments.
The Glass Armonica, invented by Ben Franklin, (which is probably why he is dressed as Ben Franklin) and one of the rarest instruments. I refer to it as near extinct.

No kidding. That piece was made for the haunting sound of the Armonica.

That was extremely interesting, Arkán. Do you know if the glass Armonica is particularly difficult to play? I'm not experienced enough in the musical side of things to tell just by watching.
