I dont know much about classical music other than listening to it with more thoughtfulness as I get older. However, for me bright and brash doesn't usually do the trick. Many of the selections you post are actually quite peaceful and I thank you for that.

"....soothing pieces mostly lately"? I hope things are well with you, sprinkleeninow.

Yes, some boisterous, lively pieces tend to activate my palpitations. 🤭

I also am fond of Vaughan Williams.

Seriously though, I think I may have some long covid residual. My bout was very mild. A secondary bacterial infection that was not evident from the start what could've done me in. I read 'sepsis' on my extensive treatments and corresponding notes. Sheesh. My covid symptoms were barely there if at all. It was weird. I believe the supposed covid diagnosis actually saved me from cruising into serious territory. So be it.

Peace, safety and good health be to you and yours.
