What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?


I listen to music every day for several hours. It’s a daily routine.   But some days I just can’t seem to get into the music.  It takes a while for me to find the exact music that I want to listen to.  Other days I’m fine with it from the beginning.  If any of you have the same problem what do you do to get out of it?

I often feel that way about reading - just can't find a book that draws me in. So, I just put on some comfortable music, push back in my chair and drowse a bit. Not music that demands attention though. Something for solo piano, like, perhaps Brahms, Debussy, Schumann, etc. 

You might try reading something, like a newspaper, i.e. the NY Times. That ought to put you to sleep. :-) When you wake you can focus on your music which demands your attention.
