I think one of the best feelings, is to be comfortable snuggled in a blanket and reading with soothing music in the background. I could live my whole life, just doing this.
I just got back into reading like a day ago. I havent read a book in like 10 years lol! Personally, I can't wait for Winter. Reading to the sound of rain brings back good memories.
***** Eh, great literature is greater when you can focus very much on it. When I listen to great music I have to focus on it as well. Your attention is divided and to me, dulls both. Doesn't make make the material any less great, but the experience of either is diminished.
I wish I left a comment back when I first found this video. I read the entire harry potter series back in 2016 while listening to this music and it always fills me with a special somewhat melancholy feeling whenever I hear one of these songs. I just want to say thanks for compiling all of these tracks, and titling it 'Music for Reading' otherwise I never would have found it.
I appreciate classical music. My father used to bring us to watch operas with great tenors and sopranos. Everytime I hear these classics, I reminisce the days when I was young. The new generations today, dont seem to have ears for these kind of music...
@Evelyn. You're right, the voice and everything fit together perfectly. What is the current situation in your country regarding the spread of the virus?
+Mohammad shahade If you live in the UK or can get BBC iplayer online go to iplayer radio 4xtra, they are in the midst of a 5 part series of The Brothers Karamazov, tis a faithful and excellent production I highly reccomend it... easier still here is the link, www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00y9455
I studied mathematics using this playlist as I am studying for my college finals. Took 2 breaks in total. Happy studying to anyone who is using this playlist!
I can't thank you enough for uploading this list of music, HALIDONMUSIC, and would like to share this with you. The first piece, Nocturne No 9 by Chopin has really inspired my autistic non verbal son. After finding out that he could play the Bach's Minuet G in 3 weeks, we gave him a third of Chopin and he played it well within a month. We were going to give him Schubert's Serenade, but this has made us realize that he could take a proper grade 1 piano exam. We are preparing him for that now. So, again, THANK YOU...God bless,xx
+Seth Carlow how can you LISTEN to such music by simultaneously drinking, reading, eating, watching, talking thinking, what more? Are you really listening or pretending? People are on their way for not being able to focus one single minut. Here in Sweden we call it ADHD don't know the word in english. But it's getting serious problom. But go ahead.. I don't worry, simply wanted to comment
Hi i am from Brazil. this moment i am in the hospital with my father and he is very bad. but he slept with your songs here, without medicine. gratitude :)
I think it was a winter of 2013 or 2014.. I spent many afternoons just listening to this playlist while reading my book.. Good memories. It's hard to accept any other versions of these musical compositions now. Thank you so much for this playlist!
It makes me think of how 'classical education' is a corner stone of what our education system is built on. It makes me think of universities, and classical art, and listening to these great pieces as I'm trying to study and inspires me to try hard to study as well so I can be well educated.
That would be me. And I really want to know where can I find that particular performance. I don't see it in the corresponding lists on Spotify or Amazon.
I´ve been using this video to study for the past 2 and a half years, never fails me, ol´ Reliable, thank you for making my studying sessions more stimulating.
I feel myself getting smart. Like I have the best words now. It's incredible. Just fantastic and I love it. I have the best people working for me and we're doing wonderful, wonderful things now that I have this music. Amazing folks. Amazing.
thank you for staying with us for as long as you have! We're glad to hear our compilation helped you get inspired. Here's to many more years of listening to music and getting creative together :)
Beautiful selection of great music, but not for reading! I only listen to music when I do tasks which don't engage the mind (such as sewing, crocheting, dishwashing or browsing youtube comments), not when I'm reading. Music needs its own attention from the mind, it's not a mere backdrop to other mental activity.
It depends on how much you understand it I guess. If you don't have a good grasp of it I suppose it could be good background music. If you hear a conversation in german in the background, and you don't understand german, it won't hold your attention. If you hear an english conversation in the background it'd be hard not to focus on what's being said.
Garrett Rowland A very intelligent observation! (Although, even if I listen to a conversation in Chinese or Turkish or whatever, it will still hold my attention somehow, as the sound is something unusual thus interesting)
That is your opinion :) Music like this actually helps stimulate the mind :) So it is good to play for babies when they sleep or reading :) Music can also help the memory :)
irmar I humbly disagree. I find it difficult to focus on things like reading or driving without music, as my mind craves multiple sources of simultaneous input. Without music as a background my mind tends to be distracted easily and meander about, so for my brain this music is not only perfect for, but essential to my success in the endeavor of reading. Which is not to say that these selections do not warrant their own appreciation and attention, just that they also make a lovely audio backdrop. :)
Matthew Jones i cant do anything without music. if there is no music,i cant concentrate then my body start twitching. i think am addicted. can someone be addicted to music?
I like how everyone's here like "lol I'm just not studying" and I'm here looking for some music to enjoy my non forced reading lmfao. Reading is so good ! Can't harm you to find a good book and enjoy it in ur own time !
Of all YT videos of music for studying, reading, essays, etc, this one is the most helpful for me. The dynamic of the music is stimulating the brain yet it is not too much to actually distract me. I mean, the strings melody sometimes distract me with their beauty lol.
so much distraction in today world, it takes a lot to stay focus and i admire your brain ability to stay focus, if you don't mind i want you to help me find my focus and peace?
Listening to this while reading “conquering shame and codependency: 8 steps to freeing the true you” I’ve never felt better in my life. Thank you for uploading💗
I was attracted to the title of this post, "Music For Reading".. To me that's a strange concept, because I CAN'T read (or study, or concentrate on anything written) if there's music on, especially if it's good music.. It's got to be dead quiet. I guess it's because I'm a musician, and I have such passion for music, that no matter what's playing, I need to focus on it, and thus get distracted from anything else I try to do. Even driving in my car, I tend to drive slower and perhaps be less cautious if there's some great music on the radio/cd/tape deck. Probably the only music style I can sorta-kinda read with is smooth jazz, which to my ears is so droning and awful that it barely captures my attention. But even then, the volume must be low.
Perhaps studying "learning types" will help. People have to find their optimum learning states. Do you learn difficult stuff best in silence, with music, eating, in bright light or semi darkness, sitting up straight or lounging on the floor, in company or alone??????? Know yourself first and then you will be able to accommodate your needs as a learner. Good luck!
I don't think I would have graduated from my bachelor& Master's degrees without this masterpiece of a Playlist. Now that I'm mainly working, I find myself coming back to this playlist as an oasis of calm, to concentrate and get some work done. Thank you so much for all these years❤️
Oh Giulio, your comment made not only our day but our entire week! Thank _you_ so much, it means the world to us to hear that our music has been a constant companion for you as you were studying and that you still come back to it now that you're in a different phase of your life 💚
I'm not in school anymore...finished a Bachelor's and Master's and for now I'm good. But, for those of you out there still plugging away, keep up the good work, keep reading, and keep listening to classical music. It's all good!
just sitting here eating spanish cheese, drinking german beer, eating french bread, reading william blake, and listening to chopin. aaaahhhhh! can anyone imagine the world without europe?
Es media noche y no puedo conciliar el sueño, me puse a escuchar este regalo maravilloso y no encuentro palabras para agradecerte este incomparable momento lleno de suspenso, de amor, de armonía, de éxtasis eterno. me hiciste flotar entre las notas inimaginables y el vaivén que mueve las fibras de tu corazón, de tus sentidos, aquella intangible fuerza que golpea suavemente y te lleva a lugares paradisiacos de donde no quiero volver... gracias HALIDONMUSIC, MIL GRACIAS.
Thanks for the best & most peaceful pieces...."The musician’s art is among those arts worthy of the highest praise, and it moveth the hearts of all…" - Abdu’l-Baha
Beautiful playlist. I'm tired and have so much to do, but sitting down and relaxing with a cup of tea and this playlist while watching the first snowfall of the year is proving to be quite the antidote :) Now I know peace.
"Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin never died. They just became music." -Dr. Ford from HBO's Westworld Btw, this is the best study-music video I've come across
Never give up on what you believe! If you don't like rap and pop shit (which i totally understand why) keep doing what you love. Don't expect people in 8th grade to appreciate classical music others never do.
CosmicAstroDuck - good for you buddy. In 8th grade i was also appreciating rap and pop shit ...until I heard Albinoni's Adagio, my life would never be the same. Now the only rap I appreciate is 2Pac
I have 80 pages left of Little Women left and I need to finish by tomorrow. Wish me luck! (Also, this book is great, I would definitely recommend it if you don't despise old language!)
CarrieAnne Betts Surprisingly well but Louisa May Alcott killed off my second-favorite character. I thought old books were free of the current death feels! D:
Don't bother reading Lad: A Dog then. That book was considered YA back in the day. I doubt any parent would let their YA read that book. Can't beat good literature.
Why are you reading these comments? I know, it's very tempting, and I've done it before. But the video isn't titled, "Music for Reading Comments." It's titled, "Music for Reading." It means to read whatever you're supposed to be reading...maybe it's for fun, but mostly likely it's schoolwork! Happy studying! :)
Actually, I put this music on solely for the purpose of reading the comments. :) Nah I actually don't have anything to read but I like classical music.
I actually play it while I'm reading a book and it just really helps get to that place, like when there's something dramatic happening there's somehow always the perfect melody to help me sink in the story better, you know?
Great collection here. Good length as well as 1.5 hours is the perfect amount to take a break from studying for me. I am able to concentrate much better with music like this and it adds a bit of pleasure to studying that I look forward to.
lo encontré? o me encontro sabía que algo buscaba , y sonidos mas sonidos músicales , me sacaron de estos momentos de angustía, y me trasladaron,, al mundo de la quietud.
Name It's pleasurable reading the comments. It's almost 7 a.m.. I'm an old man. Life is good, however, life isn't "all good", for instance, Darwin sucks, so does Karl Marx, & Islam.
Their songs are still being enjoyed even over 100 years later and has the side effect of making people who hear them smarter. I think that's something they'd be proud of.
they probably do :) if you'd like to listen to more, we recommed checking out our Chopin playlist on Spotify (spoti.fi/2mKTQnk), our recent video "Chopin - Piano Solo" (bit.ly/2monjGb) or "The Best of Chopin" (bit.ly/2lcRK39). Hope this helps!
I was trying to do an essay and it's so loud at my house, so listening to this full blast with headphones made me concentrate and get it done! Thank you! :)
Same here. Not an essay but work anyway, and out there, in the crowdy world, just noise, incredibly annoying noise, and so much ignorance too, since it's freaking 11pm and there's no respect for the public quiet... Thanks for all your work!
All great music is PREPARATION. Depending on the event to come, there is great music for every every emotional event. Listen, then DO!. Nocturnes are for preparing to sleep. Marches are for stimulation to violent action. Waltzes are for happy memories. Heavy Metal? For the truly broken mind - its only relief the discordant mirror of the brain. Fuels the animal fear reaction of violence. To study, study in silence. To learn, teach another. Remember the Alchemic truism: "Only when you can find joy in silence are you replete." Namaste
Hey now, what's wrong with metal? There are great artists in every genre, and to write one off entirely or stereotype the people who listen to it is the definition of immaturity and pretension. Who are you to say what's what? Beethoven was the original heavy metal artist, after all.
ForeverMasterless well said, a LOT of very talented rock and metal musicians have spent years studying classical music, and don't really transfer from one genre to another, there is rather a continuous interaction. So many people and especially so many musicians love both metal and classical music, along with other types of music in parallel......because music does not fit the categories that exist in people's minds, music is one, expressed in different ways.
Nocturnes are relaxing and clear your mind of the clutter of troubles we all experience thus also preparing our mind for intake of new information. The beauty of music (beauty is in the perception) has a transference effect and enables us to love the material we are studying. Music that we find annoying has the opposite effect. I am almost convinced that there is intrinsic beauty in some classical music, especially the romantic classics, due to its calmness, orderliness, and timelessness, but especially its romance.
I don't know if it's just me but I HATE THIS GENERATIONS MUSIC! All that music about sex and drugs and money and strip clubs is getting on my nerves. I wish I could go back and listen to these work of art. True music. Please take me back.
Akita Neko You mean like the music in this video? Chopin was Polish, Beethoven was German, Mozart was Austrian, Bach was German, Debussy was French, Liszt was Austrian, and Schumann was also German. My pic is from Blood+, of course I've heard Jap music. However I am not Japanese, nor do I speak Japanese. I tend to stick with languages I understand. Despite my screen name and pic. I am not a weeaboo or am I an otaku. I don't find either of those titles flattering or appealing. I do deeply hope you are just a troll, and not the twit I was inclined to believe you were.
I feel that many things in the world have their purposes and their own merits. Classics seem more chillaxing type of music and EDM are more.. you know.. dancey/futuristic and such.. you get the idea. Good things don't last. Truth hurts. etc. But don't stop dreaming. You never know. Hey, maybe next generation they'll bring back the classics. If you can manage to survive through this generation.
you get such good vibes when you hang out here while listening to this. We live in a tough situation with the pandemic going on but I think it's so nice that everyone is pushing each other and spreading love. STAY SAFE.
Beatrice Costa I was about to comment the same thing... I just can't read during moonlight sonata... I had to stop and listen to this till the end. So captivating...
Albert Hofmann well, for me it is like part of my soul ondulates with the music, (a lot of it is quite familiar to me) unconsciously relaxing and being refreshed, while my mind is focusing on reading. In my case no fanfiction (don't even know what it means, I guess fantasy and fiction) but spiritual objective knowledge (Almaas). And yes sometimes some music comes on the forefront, asking for my attention, and then again receding to the background... I sometimes find the volume becoming to loud though, for reading.
I've written a piano piece (on my channel) which is good for reading. But it's only short - about 3 minutes - so perhaps only appropriate for a pamphlet, or a short to mid-length email.
This music is so nice and smooth i listened to this song for aboust 18 hours. I would recommend this song to you guys that are reading chat! I bope you have a go day and enjoy this song! Also thank you for reading this long note!
i have found myself facing ceiling in moments of ecstasy while listening (im lying), this music is too much beautiful to be ignored, and i can't read and listen at the same time.
Anybody else reading "Research Designs: Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences?" No? Good that means you're procrastinating just like me. So stop looking at the comments and maybe we can both accomplish a task tonight.
Had to read Huckleberry Finn, Frankenstein, and Pride and Prejudice two years ago for a high school class and every time I snuggled up with a blanket on the couch this playlist would be playing. Even two years later it never ceases to put my mind at ease.
How does anyone manage to do serious work while listening to this music? Its so good, I just want to go home, put this music on and just chill - or feel nostalgic.
We all know you're procrastinating homework. everyone who reads this comment is. SO DONT READ THE COMMENTS AND DO YOUR WORK SCROLL UP NOW DONT GO FURTHER INTO THE DOOM
Hey! If you are reading this have a nice day! My stomach really hurts and I have got a headache so I listen to music hoping that it would all go away. Be positive :)

There's no way I could read while listening to any of these beautiful pieces. They just pull my attention away from anything I do, especially reading.
I have to agree with you there. Too beautiful for my ears to be ignored.

Sugar Plum shut up please
this music is helping me imagining myself already screwed in my midterm
More like house cleaning music. I want to create a beautiful Home while I listen. It's like Ballet with a feather duster. Love it!
Who else is obsessed with Schuberts Leise Flehen Meine Lieder, because its so so so good,makes me feel so calm i love it
That would be me. And I really want to know where can I find that particular performance. I don't see it in the corresponding lists on Spotify or Amazon.

How do people manage to read with music on? I need silence to absorb what I read.
I feel myself getting smart. Like I have the best words now. It's incredible. Just fantastic and I love it. I have the best people working for me and we're doing wonderful, wonderful things now that I have this music. Amazing folks. Amazing.

Hahaha, same here--couldn't help it!
True. I took the IQ test before and after listening to this and I just gained 50 IQ (an increase from 30)!
Wilhelm Scream dude a 30 IQ means you basically have the functioning of an infant. And now you're at 80 which is the very low end. lol
I'm reading all 4,513 comments while listening to this amazing music...

issaciams lol
I actually just wanted to enjoy reading my book with background music but I love all these songs so much I just sat here listening
ME TOO
I like how everyone's here like "lol I'm just not studying" and I'm here looking for some music to enjoy my non forced reading lmfao.
Reading is so good ! Can't harm you to find a good book and enjoy it in ur own time !
Katelin we're here bc we can't study, i don't think we're here bc we can't read a book lol
i am a book worm myself and i dont understand people who dont like it
true :)
Sameee
uhhhh yeah its nice to read a nice book but when your uni force you to read a whole 200 page book for next day this helps
Of all YT videos of music for studying, reading, essays, etc, this one is the most helpful for me. The dynamic of the music is stimulating the brain yet it is not too much to actually distract me. I mean, the strings melody sometimes distract me with their beauty lol.
Mq
so much distraction in today world, it takes a lot to stay focus and i admire your brain ability to stay focus, if you don't mind i want you to help me find my focus and peace?
Listening to this while reading “conquering shame and codependency: 8 steps to freeing the true you”
I’ve never felt better in my life. Thank you for uploading💗
I was attracted to the title of this post, "Music For Reading".. To me that's a strange concept, because I CAN'T read (or study, or concentrate on anything written) if there's music on, especially if it's good music.. It's got to be dead quiet. I guess it's because I'm a musician, and I have such passion for music, that no matter what's playing, I need to focus on it, and thus get distracted from anything else I try to do. Even driving in my car, I tend to drive slower and perhaps be less cautious if there's some great music on the radio/cd/tape deck. Probably the only music style I can sorta-kinda read with is smooth jazz, which to my ears is so droning and awful that it barely captures my attention. But even then, the volume must be low.
Perhaps studying "learning types" will help. People have to find their optimum learning states. Do you learn difficult stuff best in silence, with music, eating, in bright light or semi darkness, sitting up straight or lounging on the floor, in company or alone??????? Know yourself first and then you will be able to accommodate your needs as a learner. Good luck!
My favorite sound for reading is the sound of rain...but this could work too..:)
The sound of rain puts me to sleep instantly. Not good for my reading :p
I don't think I would have graduated from my bachelor& Master's degrees without this masterpiece of a Playlist.
Now that I'm mainly working, I find myself coming back to this playlist as an oasis of calm, to concentrate and get some work done. Thank you so much for all these years❤️
Oh Giulio, your comment made not only our day but our entire week! Thank _you_ so much, it means the world to us to hear that our music has been a constant companion for you as you were studying and that you still come back to it now that you're in a different phase of your life 💚
I'm not in school anymore...finished a Bachelor's and Master's and for now I'm good. But, for those of you out there still plugging away, keep up the good work, keep reading, and keep listening to classical music. It's all good!
just sitting here eating spanish cheese, drinking german beer, eating french bread, reading william blake, and listening to chopin. aaaahhhhh! can anyone imagine the world without europe?
“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
The stars, the sun, moon, and earth make music, too 🎉
this is a great compilation of classical music for a procrastinator like me! This is so beautiful :D
Ah, but it is alas the theif of time.

thelocolexi thank you for your prompt correction, please allow me to congratulate you, would not want you to waste your time.
Es media noche y no puedo conciliar el sueño, me puse a escuchar este regalo maravilloso y no encuentro palabras para agradecerte este incomparable momento lleno de suspenso, de amor, de armonía, de éxtasis eterno. me hiciste flotar entre las notas inimaginables y el vaivén que mueve las fibras de tu corazón, de tus sentidos, aquella intangible fuerza que golpea suavemente y te lleva a lugares paradisiacos de donde no quiero volver... gracias HALIDONMUSIC, MIL GRACIAS.
Music is too damn pretty. Pulls me out of focus on my reading so I can swim with the melody.
I cant sleep my fingers,are moving ;with the music.
Same here. I love your phrase ,"swim with the melody" That's just how I feel.
Thanks for the best & most peaceful pieces...."The musician’s art is among those arts worthy of the highest praise, and it moveth the hearts of all…" - Abdu’l-Baha
That's so true! Thanks for your comment

Gerda John, The Best & Most Classical Wishes to You this Year.
Beautiful playlist. I'm tired and have so much to do, but sitting down and relaxing with a cup of tea and this playlist while watching the first snowfall of the year is proving to be quite the antidote :) Now I know peace.
That's It!!!!
This beautiful music reaches the deepest strings of my heart. Thank you so much.
Tutti i pezzi costituiscono il tesoro dell'umanità.
Just perfect for Twilight, Harry Potter and 50 Shades of Gray.
Too much info on that last one buddy
***** jeez twilight was bad enough, then you Finnish off with that...
***** HAHAHA that's exactly what I was thinking !!!! Thanks ;D
It's like a crappy Oreo with an overrated filling.
no its not they are vapid crap. If i were to burn any books it would be that shit you extolled
fuori piove, grigio ... buon finesettimana di relax ♡
"Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin never died. They just became music." -Dr. Ford from HBO's Westworld
Btw, this is the best study-music video I've come across
If only the other people in 8th grade with me could appreciate this music. All they have to appreciate is rap music and pop shit :(
If only all the other sperms would stop swimming so fast and appreciate this beautiful music. All they have is bodily fluids and competitiveness. :(
Never give up on what you believe! If you don't like rap and pop shit (which i totally understand why) keep doing what you love. Don't expect people in 8th grade to appreciate classical music others never do.
+philip iliades no
CosmicAstroDuck - good for you buddy. In 8th grade i was also appreciating rap and pop shit ...until I heard Albinoni's Adagio, my life would never be the same. Now the only rap I appreciate is 2Pac
I like your kind of thinking. You can be proud of the way you are thinking in 8th grade!
I have 80 pages left of Little Women left and I need to finish by tomorrow. Wish me luck! (Also, this book is great, I would definitely recommend it if you don't despise old language!)
Luna The Hooman How did it go? ;)
CarrieAnne Betts Surprisingly well but Louisa May Alcott killed off my second-favorite character. I thought old books were free of the current death feels! D:
lol .. 80 page isnt that much xD
just grab a cub of juice or whatever .. a very huge cub .. maybe a bottle .. place a straw
and read !! xD
Don't bother reading Lad: A Dog then. That book was considered YA back in the day. I doubt any parent would let their YA read that book. Can't beat good literature.
Hay quá đi mất thôi
Why are you reading these comments? I know, it's very tempting, and I've done it before. But the video isn't titled, "Music for Reading Comments." It's titled, "Music for Reading." It means to read whatever you're supposed to be reading...maybe it's for fun, but mostly likely it's schoolwork! Happy studying! :)
Actually, I put this music on solely for the purpose of reading the comments. :) Nah I actually don't have anything to read but I like classical music.
Tabby Roberts read clouds...
I actually play it while I'm reading a book and it just really helps get to that place, like when there's something dramatic happening there's somehow always the perfect melody to help me sink in the story better, you know?
Lol @godsgirl082012 you are so right. I'm suppose to be reading an article about technology in the classroom not RUclips comments.
Well, reading comments is a way of reading, so...
Η κλασικες μελωδιες ειναι οτι καλυτερο για να ξεκινησει μια ομορφη ηρεμη μερα.😄💋💗💖💔❤⛲💻😍💞💘
Great collection here. Good length as well as 1.5 hours is the perfect amount to take a break from studying for me. I am able to concentrate much better with music like this and it adds a bit of pleasure to studying that I look forward to.
lo encontré? o me encontro sabía que algo buscaba , y sonidos mas sonidos músicales , me sacaron de estos momentos de angustía, y me trasladaron,, al mundo de la quietud.
Name It's pleasurable reading the comments. It's almost 7 a.m.. I'm an old man. Life is good, however, life isn't "all good", for instance, Darwin sucks, so does Karl Marx, & Islam.
So who else is NOT studying right now
Me
Me , reading a novel
+TFE niname
should work...maybe later :)
Me, reading book.
Me 😀
Thank you
I'm older. a hippie with a classical heart
this fills my soul
Reading classics with this music in the background is a bliss
Thank you Halidonmusic. Fantastic collection.
thanks to you!
+HALIDONMUSIC omg wonderful collection of music thank you so much
I'm sure these composers would have love the fact that they've been resigned to the background of someone's studies or leisure time.
Their music is being enjoyed, and heard. Either way, thats all they ever wanted.
MrGordonFreakman Did you dig them up recently and inquire?
probrojeffro did it take you that many videos to see that levitation is a trick?
Their songs are still being enjoyed even over 100 years later and has the side effect of making people who hear them smarter. I think that's something they'd be proud of.
The fact that hundreds of years later we are still listening to their work is something I bet they would love.
I love love Chopin , he makes me dream beautiful pink dreams that don't exist , I believe they play Chopin in Heaven
they probably do :) if you'd like to listen to more, we recommed checking out our Chopin playlist on Spotify (spoti.fi/2mKTQnk), our recent video "Chopin - Piano Solo" (bit.ly/2monjGb) or "The Best of Chopin" (bit.ly/2lcRK39). Hope this helps!
Schubert's Serenade @4.40 - one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've listened to
There ought to be a list of books we should read while listening to this.
04 Beethoven - Piano Sonata Op. 13 (II: Adagio) 14:47 One of my favorites. Thanks for the list. very beautiful selections.
Reading biophysics right now, not because I like it but because I have to. This makes it bearable.
+Jihane Punk Who doesn't like biophysics?
The Veneficus me x)
Jihane Punk Do you think Jesus is gonna come back?
What does that have to do with anything?
Jihane Punk It doesn't. I'm just wondering if he was gonna come back. People are saying he will. BUT WHEN!?
Благодарю ! Получила огромное удовольствие от Music for Reading .
This music is great to read these comments to!
I was trying to do an essay and it's so loud at my house, so listening to this full blast with headphones made me concentrate and get it done! Thank you! :)
good job Cassidy - hope you get a good mark and thanks for listening! :)
Same here. Not an essay but work anyway, and out there, in the crowdy world, just noise, incredibly annoying noise, and so much ignorance too, since it's freaking 11pm and there's no respect for the public quiet...
Thanks for all your work!
Noise...
No respect...
Ignorance...
Welcome to the 21st century :/
Watch out that will irreversibly damage your hearing. Find other ways to find a quiet place. Consider the local library.

I have a reading disorder and the music is helping me read my summer reading project
All great music is PREPARATION. Depending on the event to come, there is great music for every every emotional event.
Listen, then DO!.
Nocturnes are for preparing to sleep.
Marches are for stimulation to violent action.
Waltzes are for happy memories.
Heavy Metal? For the truly broken mind - its only relief the discordant mirror of the brain. Fuels the animal fear reaction of violence.
To study, study in silence. To learn, teach another.
Remember the Alchemic truism:
"Only when you can find joy in silence are you replete."
Namaste
This deserves more likes sir
Hey now, what's wrong with metal? There are great artists in every genre, and to write one off entirely or stereotype the people who listen to it is the definition of immaturity and pretension. Who are you to say what's what? Beethoven was the original heavy metal artist, after all.
ForeverMasterless well said, a LOT of very talented rock and metal musicians have spent years studying classical music, and don't really transfer from one genre to another, there is rather a continuous interaction. So many people and especially so many musicians love both metal and classical music, along with other types of music in parallel......because music does not fit the categories that exist in people's minds, music is one, expressed in different ways.
Nocturnes are relaxing and clear your mind of the clutter of troubles we all experience thus also preparing our mind for intake of new information. The beauty of music (beauty is in the perception) has a transference effect and enables us to love the material we are studying. Music that we find annoying has the opposite effect.
I am almost convinced that there is intrinsic beauty in some classical music, especially the romantic classics, due to its calmness, orderliness, and timelessness, but especially its romance.
Words of wisdom.
Namaste
This is the best playlist that I ever heard on RUclips. Thank you very much for this. And it isn't only for reading...
I don't know if it's just me but I HATE THIS GENERATIONS MUSIC! All that music about sex and drugs and money and strip clubs is getting on my nerves. I wish I could go back and listen to these work of art. True music. Please take me back.
I agree with you :)
Have you heard Japanese music or anyother music tht isn't american?
Akita Neko You mean like the music in this video? Chopin was Polish, Beethoven was German, Mozart was Austrian, Bach was German, Debussy was French, Liszt was Austrian, and Schumann was also German. My pic is from Blood+, of course I've heard Jap music. However I am not Japanese, nor do I speak Japanese. I tend to stick with languages I understand. Despite my screen name and pic. I am not a weeaboo or am I an otaku. I don't find either of those titles flattering or appealing. I do deeply hope you are just a troll, and not the twit I was inclined to believe you were.
I feel that many things in the world have their purposes and their own merits. Classics seem more chillaxing type of music and EDM are more.. you know.. dancey/futuristic and such.. you get the idea.
Good things don't last. Truth hurts. etc.
But don't stop dreaming. You never know. Hey, maybe next generation they'll bring back the classics. If you can manage to survive through this generation.
Diva Bluerose no like modern music that isn't ameican. Cuz the guy who posted that all the music in this generation is all about sex and drugs.
you get such good vibes when you hang out here while listening to this. We live in a tough situation with the pandemic going on but I think it's so nice that everyone is pushing each other and spreading love. STAY SAFE.
Whoever KNOWS (this) music cannot possibly read while listening to it...
Beatrice Costa I'm happy to see I'm not the only one thinking this. There are quite a number of commenters here who said the same thing.
Beatrice Costa I don't KNOW this music. But I do know it's much too beautiful to read to, that's for sure. :-)
Beatrice Costa Bang on the money! Too distracting.
Beatrice Costa I was about to comment the same thing... I just can't read during moonlight sonata... I had to stop and listen to this till the end. So captivating...
Albert Hofmann well, for me it is like part of my soul ondulates with the music, (a lot of it is quite familiar to me) unconsciously relaxing and being refreshed, while my mind is focusing on reading. In my case no fanfiction (don't even know what it means, I guess fantasy and fiction) but spiritual objective knowledge (Almaas). And yes sometimes some music comes on the forefront, asking for my attention, and then again receding to the background... I sometimes find the volume becoming to loud though, for reading.
I've written a piano piece (on my channel) which is good for reading. But it's only short - about 3 minutes - so perhaps only appropriate for a pamphlet, or a short to mid-length email.
I was going to suggest putting it on a loop.
I put it on a loop in my brain and my life has got exponentially better - about 2% each day. I'm in a womb.
Just read your kind comments! Thank you so much everyone, I'm so glad you enjoyed listening to my music and that it has helped you :)
Why are you advertising?
Whats the name of this particular piece? On your channel found several awesome pieces. Continue the good work.
When I'm reading at school I put this and when I'm reading for homework I ALSO put this ! Everyone should try this out !
Title: Music for reading

I LOVE LISTENING TO THIS WHEN I'M STUDYING! Thanks so much ❤️
Anybody else reading "Research Designs: Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences?" No? Good that means you're procrastinating just like me. So stop looking at the comments and maybe we can both accomplish a task tonight.

Thats why we're procrastinating by answering comments
Somewhere, someone is reading 50 Shades Of Grey while they are listening to this...
+CakeManGaming it is a sad world...
+Talex How did you know
Had to read Huckleberry Finn, Frankenstein, and Pride and Prejudice two years ago for a high school class and every time I snuggled up with a blanket on the couch this playlist would be playing. Even two years later it never ceases to put my mind at ease.
Thank you a lot for a great colection
Музыка на все времена....
Очень нравится!
Мне тоже..Люблю классику...
да
Проходят годы, меняются люди, но классическая музыка по-прежнему колеблется в наших сердцах
Well said and exactly true! The language of the heart understands classical music.
Thank you so much! I can’t concentrate in anything without music so this was very helpful thx!
How does anyone manage to do serious work while listening to this music? Its so good, I just want to go home, put this music on and just chill - or feel nostalgic.
Beautiful music for reading, working, studying and meditating! Thank you for posting this on RUclips! :-)
I love how this music could fit the scene of my book ;)
We all know you're procrastinating homework.
everyone who reads this comment is.
SO DONT READ THE COMMENTS AND DO YOUR WORK SCROLL UP NOW DONT GO FURTHER INTO THE DOOM
thank you lol I needed that...

Hey! If you are reading this have a nice day! My stomach really hurts and I have got a headache so I listen to music hoping that it would all go away. Be positive :)
I read think after one year... i think your stomach and head is good now ,,, hhhhhhhhh
Not for reading, but for listening
Had it not been for the bad audio quality this upload would have been magnificent.
...check ur speakers and audio setup!!!
roberto ortiz
My speakers and audio setup is fine, my CD's and FLAC files sound amazing. I found out now that it seems to be bad only on certain songs.
These at least are very bad:
03 Chopin - Piano Prelude No. 15 "Raindrop" 9:12
04 Beethoven - Piano Sonata Op. 13 II Adagio 14:47
07 Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 21 31:46
13 Bach - Solo Cello Suite Number 6 Prelude 52:32
14 Chopin - Nocturne Op. 15 No. 2 57:09
15 Bach - Suite for Orchestra No. 3 "Air on the G String" 1:00:32
19 Beethoven - Fur Elise 1:20:04
These are of very low bit quality and sound horrible on a good sound system.
Just wonderful!
that second track is so beautiful it almost brings tears to my eyes
Always finish on the Bach! never on Debussy!
Ahaha, I see what you did there. Clever. I like.
Someone give this man a cookie pronto! :D
***** No. Give him a Debussy ;)
It's from family guy...
brian, i guess? :)))))
Simply outstanding! this is the kind of music you want to listen to after a very long day =)
Thank you for these pretty songs
:-)
