Beautiful music, accessible at all levels with the right pieces. They can be enjoyed from a casual to the deep analysis levels. There was a stupid movie I accidentally saw on broadcast TV some weeks ago; it was Parental Guidance (2012). There was a scene where the kids misbehave in a classical concert. The piece played was P.I. Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, and if my memory serves me right, the (uncredited!) soloist was Anne Akiko Meyers. The movie played out all the classical music stereotypes. Then finally, an annoyed old, crusty lady said "I don't know how could anyone bring kids to Tchaikovsky!". Oh my. What a ludicrously stupid comment. A real evidence that the screen writers were truly clueless. If there is a composer who is notoriously kid friendly was old Piotr Ilych, the one who put music to ballets such as The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty, just to name two examples! And yes, classical music can be enjoyed by all ages, with the appropriate pieces and with the right disposition.
