I am new to classical music

[Gabriela]

Hello, I am Gabriela from Romania, I am a good friend of Harry and because of it I want to learn about classical music ! I know practically nothing about classical music, but I want to learn with Harry's and the help of other knowledgable posters.

[Harry]

He Gabriela what a nice surprise you came to this site. Many will help and guide you on GMG I am sure, and I know you love the music of Romanian composers, so it will work out fine!

Hi Gabriela (that's a nice name),

Welcome!

[springrite]

Forget about knowledge and listen with your ears and heart at the start. Then add the knowledge as you go along. Don't make it a challenge but a pleasant journey. You will have in music a friend for life.

Hi Gabriela, welcome!  You have come to the right place, and I hope you enjoy yourself here.  Just to throw out one Romanian composer, a lot of us like the music of Enescu, and there is a short thread on him here:

Good day... I am Gabriela, a good friend of Harry. I searched for classical music forum in yahoo and... Now I live in the Roumanian capital...

Hey, my Roumanian ain't too bad! Ha!

I will listen to some Enescu in your honor! (Violin Sonata #3)

[Bulldog]

Hello Gabriela!  Bruce's suggestion of Enescu is a great one; he's a fantastic composer.  If you're open to barqoue music, look no further than Bach.

Hi Harry, thank you already for all your help  0:)
What about Ciprian Porumbescu ?

[springrite]

Hi Harry, thank you already for all your help  0:)
What about Ciprian Porumbescu ?

The only piece I know is Danube Waves (?), which I heard from the movie about his life. What other music has he composed that you would recommend?

[SonicMan46]

Hello, Gabriela - another warm welcome to the GMG Forum - hope that you enjoy, learn, and contribute - 

BTW, just to add to Bruce's comment on George Enescu, there is another (3 pages now) THREAD HERE! - 

[Dundonnell]

Welcome!

Paul Constantinescu is a name sometimes mentioned in the books. Is his music played much in Romania?

[Harry]

I know this composer well Gaby, and have already a few works of on cd from him.
