I am not typically in the mood for classical music, but I do enjoy it from time to time. It can be something ominous, like Passacaglia and Prince Igor, Act I, Scene I: Chorus, or something triumphant, like Cavalleria rusticana: Intermezzo (excuse the violence in that video). It really depends on my mood.

Occasionally when I’m feeling cynical, I’ll even listen to ultranationalist crap like Köremovedätzer Marsch or Giovinezza, if only to indulge in my morbid fascination with anticommunism.
