Is basic theory enough, though? I want to be able to understand and differentiate like the average classical listener does.

Favorite symphony besides Beethoven's 9th?
I'm thinking Mahler's 5th.

one by Bruckner. Can't decide which one though

>understand and differentiate like the average classical listener the average classical listener does not pull out the sheet music and follow along. they mostly understand and differentiate by listening to a wide variety of music. being able to id a composer and era by style and form might put you above the average classical listener im afraid.
yes but obviously you can't expect to fully understand it without listening experience or really good ears I've been listening to classical for like 5 years and there are still moments when I don't know where it modulates based, it has some truly incredible moments
The most difficult part is simply detecting what is going on (having a good ear), and you don't need any theory to do this although it makes it much easier. To check how good you are at this, see how much of a piece you are able to sing, play or transcribe. Theory adds sense to what's going on. The metaphysical aspect of the music. Some types of music are almost completely devoid of this aspect. Classical is arguably the most rich in this aspect. So yes, theory is recommended, and it's not hard as others have pointed out. Having a good ear is what's hard, and luckily this is highly trainable as well. This type of training is called ear training and there are lots of resources on how to do this.

jewish excellence. they are the epitome of western civilization
listening to classical will actively develop you ear. as said you can start by listening for key changes (modulations) guess where you think the key change is here youtube.com/watch?v=S-Xm7s9eGxU

Damrau can sing everything, but nothing well. Now add that Muti isn't one of the better conductors for Mozart and the Vietnamese phil cares more about how they sound than the interpretation you get a mediocre magic flute as a result.
Why does she have so many fan girls? I don't know enough about opera but I find her takes dull.
Carson Ortiz
i was a doubter until i heard the part where the melody emerged. THAT is innovation, and a good use of atonality. without the atonal section at the beginning, the piece wouldn't be nearly as good.

Too cringe to watch past her talking. Is the music good?
Adam Evans
she always does this thing where she talks for multiple minutes before letting you hear anything. im pretty sure she has autism though to give her a break
Zachary Sanders
Philomel is quite good, you know?
Jaxon Adams
Ok I listened and to another piece, she's a good musician but not a great artist, cute for a 15 year old girl and skilled but not so uniquely imaginative.
