I found this newspaper article on yahoo…very interersting what they say about people’s personality. I myself is a great lover of classical music in particular and I’ve blogged some classical music before…here’s two entries to follow and I have 3 tracks for you to enjoy.Please click HERE to read my entry about Waldo de los Rios and I personally think my Symphony of Toys-entry is really one of my best entries so far. Don’t miss it if you haven’t read it..
The first track is called…Symphony No. 101 in D..”The Clock” part 3 “Rondo” and it is actually a four min piece of music. You really have to turn your sound up with the start of this track, otherwise you’re going to miss the clock!! The clock can be heard throughout the music, but the music starts with only the clock playing… The second track is of course the Toy Symphony…Minuetto…but I’ve discovered it was composed by Mozart’s dad..Leopold and not by Haydn. This cd indicates it was composed by Haydn. The 3rd track is Beethoven’s Symphony no 6 in F opus 68 ‘Pastorale’ part 5! This is such wonderful music, but sadly, this is only almost half of the track, think you know why I can’t upload the whole track, although I would love to! but since I’ve discovered how to go about to upload only a “taster”, I will stick to the rules! Make sure the volume is turned up!

A study by a psychology professor has found links between personality and music taste.
The Heriot-Watt university professor Adrian North said: “We have always suspected a link between music taste and personality. This is the first time that we’ve been able to look at it in real detail. No-one has ever done this on this scale before.
“People do actually define themselves through music and relate to other people through it but we haven’t known in detail how music is connected to identity.”
According to the study heavy metal fans are gentle, indie music listeners lack self-esteem and lovers of pop music are uncreative.
He found that country and western fans are hard-working, rap fans outgoing and jazz and classical music supporters are innovative and bursting with self-confidence.
Contrary to the stereotype, heavy metal fans are gentle and at ease with themselves but they tend not to be hardworking.
Those who listen to heavy metal and classical music share character traits of being creative, at ease and introverted.
But classical music fans have high self-esteem while heavy rock fans lack self-belief.
More than 36,000 people around the globe took part in the survey, the biggest of its type ever conducted.
They were asked to rate 104 musical styles in the study and were also questioned on aspects of their personality.

Lekker rustige musiek so op die Sondagaand! Ek hou veral van Simfonie Nr 101 in D. Dankie!
hi Reisiger…bly jy het dit geniet…ek is gek (dis nie die regte beskrywing nie) oor daardie Simfonie No 101 in D. 🙂
Really interesting to see this, thanks Nikita

hi Wipneus…ja, Jasper is darem vrek oulik! Ek wens ek het nou tyd om so te sit en rond te “speel” met die goed, ek sal my gate uit geniet! Ek’s ook gek oor daardie snit waarvan jy hou, maar soos jy se, hulle is almal mooi! en daardie klok vat vir my die cherry! O ja, toe ek die prentjie sien toe voel ek dieselfde! Dit het my laat dink aan Bach en Beethoven-beeldjies wat altyd op my klavier gestaan het!
Can anyone pleasetell me the name of a piece of music by Waldo Los Reis, that was a hit in 1971 or 1972,it was a classical piece.
Thanks
Hillary
