Comments on: Shazam and Beethoven http://www.amymossoff.com/parenting/2854/shazam-and-beethoven/ Finding meaning in my everyday experiences Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:12:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Amy http://www.amymossoff.com/parenting/2854/shazam-and-beethoven/comment-page-1/#comment-9176 Amy Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:34:05 +0000 http://www.amymossoff.com/?p=2854#comment-9176 Lynne, Oh yeah - that's a good one! I'll have to play it for Sammy. She loves anything scary. I had no idea that was Mussorgsky, and actually, I'd never heard of Mussorgsky until now. I actually found that I do know the Pictures at an Exhibition piece but that I didn't recognize the small part we were hearing at the time. I wish Shazam worked with classical because there are so many pieces that I love but just don't know who/what they are. However, there is another app called Pandora which I've been using to listen to classical music and it is helping me learn. You put in the name of a song or composition that you like, and it plays tons of other music that is similar. You rate it and it will modify its playlist. Free! I love it!
