I am by no means an expert on classical music, but I enjoy it... and here are my thoughts on why:
Classical music allows you to experience a range of incredibly strong, sometimes overwhelming emotions.
There are a million ways to interpret a piece, and everyone can make it relevant to their own experiences and lives. It enhances life - an aural experience that becomes a part of you, incites latent emotions and memories, swells in your chest, inspires speculation, and makes your physical sensations much more acute.
Mozart's Requiem lifts your heart, makes your soul rise above your body... hovering for just a moment before it descends upon the earth again. Saint-Saens' Havanaise makes you feel positively giggly, sweet, and coquettish. Manuel de Falla's Noches en los Jardines de Espana is incredibly elegant and sensual. You can also experience a piece and feel differently from beginning to end with variations in all directions in between. Dvorak's Symphony 9 makes you feel like you can take on anything and anyone, but also reminds you that there are are tender and beautiful things in the world that necessitate passive appreciation. And so on...
Classical music has progression, many layers and personalities, varying ebbs and flows.
A symphony can have melodies, harmonization, phrasing, modulation, varying textures, and so forth. It never ceases to be interesting. Each time you listen to a piece, you'll likely discover something that you hadn't noticed before. Yet it can also be simple like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
Watching it being performed is a great pleasure.
I find orchestras fascinating. Even though everyone is dressed the same way, you can tell that there are distinct personalities from all different walks of life. Recently, I saw the Seattle Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven's 5th. There was an old guy with a triangle beard as long as his bow, a pregnant woman, a man who was moving furiously to the music as he played, a young violinist who was first chair sitting next to an octogenarian (who was probably dethroned by her), a guy with a full-body tattoo peeking out of his crisply ironed dress shirt, among others.
It was awesome to watch them working together, reconciling their varying styles, paving the way for solos, and fusing into a single being. They crescendoed, sped up, and slowed down together while also highlighting their distinct parts. Facial expressions are fun to watch as well.
Dancing to it and playing it is extremely enjoyable and humbling.
I used to do a bit of lyrical and a lot of ballet to classical music. Moving to it and allowing it to go through your body gives you the chance to manifest emotions in physical form. You can feel it from the tip of your nose to your fingertips, carrying through the extension of your body to the point of of your toes. It makes you feel lighter and lifts you up in a way that other forms of music just... can't.
Sometimes I feel like it's the underdog of music, and everyone loves an underdog. This would never happen if, say, Christina Aguilera were performing in a crowded subway station. http://www.washingtonpost
