I listen to music while writing, which is best, solo piano, solo organ, or solo harpsichord music, for writing?

[ElijahRyne]

Uhhh… IDK the organ? If you say other make sure it is a solo keyboarded instrument!

 

[BlackKnightX]

I love lofi. Does it count as piano?

Yep, as long as it is keyboard, and some special effects!

Violin.
Bittersweet symphony (instrumental) slaps

 

[Chaos_Sinner777]

Ohhh, Harpsichord. . . Now I want to replay Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2.

 

[Renaxan]

Ugh, most of time when I was writing I'm listening to rain sounds for hours.

So I pick Other.
Heck, I don't think its qualify as music in first place lmao.

I really like the organ and harpsicord as instruments. I just find them interesting. However, the request was about "the best music for writing." Therefore, I am going to have to say piano.

The organ has a ridiculous number of capabilities and interesting sounds it can make. That's too distracting. Meanwhile, the sound that the harpsichord makes is too sharp and the music written for it tends to be very active.

The piano has the capability of being a lot more mellow, which is better for writing.

I don't listen to music since it might affect my writing. Last time I wrote a romance novel and listen to Metal, I literally made a wholesome romance to a gruesome battle royal of yanderes, on a confession scene.

I like almost anything instrumental. But lately I write to 'music box' type songs.

I play TSFH songs on repeat while writing. Trust me, it makes you feel like you're writing the most epic story of your life just by listening to their music!

Organs…

 

[Okay]

I prefer piano, mostly because I play it tho. Plus, a piano is more versatile, meaning it can play all sorts of pop songs and such, like a guitar. That’s why those two are said to be the easiest instruments, but it gets harder as the level gets higher and higher.

A violin, organ, or harpsichord, on the other hand, can’t play as much songs as the other two, because of their... more specialized sounds? Like for the harpsichord, it looks like a piano, but you can’t play with dynamics on it.

But that’s just my opinion on it tho, and don’t trust my words! I’m not completely sure, just read it somewhere!

Fun fact: Mozart wrote his songs for a harpsichord, so his songs are most suited for a harpsichord.

I would say that epic music xD Which some times can have pianos, other times can have organs, and also mixes in other things like guitars, cellos, violins. Not sure about the Harpishcord, never listened to one to give an opinion of it xD

 

[PhillisCreziles]

I'd have to stick with the piano. Mainly because the piano has a soft and precise tone to it.

 

[Biggest-Kusa-Out-There]

Doom Eternal soundtrack for action, or ASMR to concentrate on the plot/events.

 

[K5Rakitan]

It all depends on what you are writing.

 

[LilTV1155]

Have you considered listening to violin, guqin, or tagelharpa instrumental? They can inspire epic.

With the exception of the tagelharpa, yes. I will try that next!

 

[spicys]

I like to listen to classical music
