Wagner and Pavarotti are great picks—they’ve got that intensity that really makes you feel something while you’re working on a project.
For me, it depends on the mood. Sometimes I’m all about Beethoven or Tchaikovsky, but when I want something more chill, I’ll put on Debussy or Chopin. Lately, I’ve been trying to play along with some of the stuff I’ve been listening to. Found artmaster.com, and it’s been a good way to learn new pieces and keep the music going while I tinker with projects.
