    thats a weird take. you have consider things in the time they were written which really pushed the envelope for the 1780s. Im still giving you an upvote cause you specified the classical era of classical music, I think my favorite symphonies were written post 1900

      I am a classical (non-classic classical) music enjoyer, especially of the late romantic and modern periods. The classic period is just boring on account of being formulaic, and imho Mozarts music sounds incredible boring, even for classic standards. Maybe I’m also biased because one of my neighbours plays Mozart all day every day with an open window and it’s slowly driving me insane

        I can understand being burned out if something is overplayed, but I would question your sanity if you find a good performance of Canzonetta sull’aria to be boring.

          I honestly feel nothing while listening to it. It’s not exciting, it’s too uptight, uninspired. Mozart just wasn’t daring enough. Even for his time, most of his pieces kinda blow.

          Edit: Listen to Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2 (especially the fourth movment) for comparison, or Prokofiev’s violin concerto No. 1, any of Dvorak’s symphonies, …
