Classical music, like other forms of classical art, has not as a lot of takers as those of light music. Nonetheless, classical music has its fans too and lots more are falling to its charms. Yet, those who turn to it again and again find it rather beyond their understanding and real appreciation. They are charmed by it, but they cannot critically explain why it appeals them. You cannot rationalize its appeal or beauty.
An additional reason why a large majority of people are not truly comfortable with classical music is its complexity and a sense of distance from the artist. Light music may be readily sung by ordinary musicians with whom ordinary fans could identify easily. It expresses the emotions of ordinary individuals in their own language. Classical music, on the other hand, is rather mysterious and is rendered in diverse styles and it takes years, sometimes a life long time to understand .But its study has its rewards too. The more you study it, the more you enjoy it and the more you find it amazing and value the resolution and hard work to study it.
