I'm having a hard time finding music I enjoy listening to. Now, let me explain. I do enjoy playing, writing, and listening to music, but it is hard for me to find a piece of music I enjoy to truly listen to.

Honestly, most of the music I listen to I find pleasant enough, but it bores me pretty quickly. Though when I find a piece of music I really like, I am completely enthralled by it.

So I come to you asking for suggestions of pieces. Here's a list of a few of my favorite pieces, and I think I've found some common threads.

Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8, specifically movement II
Shostakovich Symphony No. 10 movement II
Schubert "Death and the Maiden" mvmt. III
Borodin String Quartet No. 1 I
Dvorak "American Quartet" II
Haydn String Quartet Op. 20, No. 5 I
Hindemith Sonata for Viola Op. 25
Mahler Symphony No. 1 I
Beethoven String Quartet No. 4 I
Debussy Nocturnes I. Nuages
African Sanctus
A lot of Bach

Keep in mind this is not the complete list.

Threads: Single movement, fairly short (less than 7 minutes), fairly unconventional harmony and techniques, dissonance, strong rhythm, and fast tempo.

So I'm just asking if you guys have any suggestions. I would like to discover more music that I enjoy. It's not that I don't like music, it's just I'm overly critical about everything.

Thanks
