You might have guessed by now that different forms of music fill my appetite for various reasons. I don’t really listen to music to fall asleep. I listen to it to learn, to relax, to immerse, to thrill… but never to sleep.
I found this almost impossible, so I went for this piece of Beethoven; his String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor, performed by The Alexander String Quartet, accompanied by an animated graphical score.
Parts of it – movements 1 and 6 – are simply fabulous and will speak to your soul (I hope). The others are sublime too but don’t really fulfil the brief for today, whereas 1 and 6 could do so.
For those short of time, the first movement starts at the beginning and the sixth movement starts at 29:01.
