I love listening to classical music but How can people just be like “yeah that’s Nocturnes Op 9 in B- Flat”? Is it just straight memorization from exposure? Or is there a method to figuring it out?
In: 1
Do you have this problem with popular music? Probably not.
Some of the name is meaningful because it gives you direct information about the key in your example.
The other portion is less meaningful since it is the numerical order in which it was composed.
The real challenge is you are probably having a difficult time recognizing the individual piece of music. Without lyrics it is more challenging.
Ultimately, you memorize modern music but do not know you are doing it. Knowing classical music is the similar but with practice and familiarity you can do it.
