I like to listen to classical music when I'm overstimulated because it blocks out outside noises and it doesn't have any voices that add to my stress. I'm trying to find music similar to what I like to listen to, but I don't know what that would be. The piece of classical music I listen to a lot is the Gadfly Suite from Dimitri Shostakovich. I like fast-paced and upbeat pieces mixed with slower and flowy parts and when clarinets or oboes are featured. I also prefer the smoothness of stringed instruments over more fierce or harsh piano or percussion. I know I'm not a fan of Schumann because it puts me to sleep.
Anyone know of some similar composers or pieces?
