I guess you included that video as an example of transition? The first and third movements are good, but (as much as I hate sounding like a hipster cuck) they're a bit overplayed.

I realize now that one of Chopin's nocturnes might've been more suited to the purpose, but classical music in general is relaxing to me, aside from when you get into the more extravagant symphonies and such. I understand that this may not be the case for everyone, though. But that's a good way to think of it. It's not what I intended, but it's an interesting perspective. I like that.

Even Chopin's nocturnes are 'active' lol.

Edited by Masque of Night: 9/16/2016 3:25:13 AMSome, but not all. At least this isn't active by my standards, anyway. I actually have both this and the one you posted on my iPod, same pianist performing them too. lol

lol have you heard the section around 4:30? You can't say that's not active. And yeah, the only person who should be playing Chopin is Rubinstein. Except I do really like Horowitz's recording of his Ballade No. 1 in G Minor. But I still don't see how classical pieces can be relaxing. They're so much more emotive than other types of music. I haven't really listened to any of his nocturnes in major keys, but even the few I have heard have minor bridges that are, like, damn.
