I love the sound of classical music in the evening

There's something so calming, yet stressful and disorienting, about listening to unfamiliar classical music after-hours at work. When most of your coworkers, or the people who work at the client location, have left for the day, and the rooms and halls no longer bustle with foot traffic. The silence presses in on all sides, perhaps causing some tinitus. Time to check your YouTube playlist for lesser-known pieces of music, or violin pieces, turn the music on and wonder what unusual sounds are filtering to your ears.

Written to the first movement of George Antheil's Symphony No. 1.
