if you need to sleep:

bacchanale

if you want to sit back and have a nice cup of tea:

pieces that don’t really have a valid explanation:
symphony no. 40 (mozart)

pieces that just sound really cool:

cello concerto in c (haydn)

and if you really just hate classical music in general:

a lot of these pieces apply in multiple categories, but I sorted them by which I think they match the most. have fun exploring classical music!
also, thank you to viola-ology and iwillsavemyworld for adding on! if you would like to add on your own suggestions, please reblog and add on or message me so I can give you credit for the suggestion!

You will have little joy of your command, but I think you have the strength in you to do the things that must be done. Kill the boy, Jon Snow. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the boy and let the man be born.

I could be 100 years old and in my rocker, but i’ll still be very proud that I was part of the Harry Potter films.
