Classical

[huBelial]

The title says it all, anyone on this board love classical music? I have been into classical music for about a year now and my love for this form of music is still strong. Earlier last year, I was enrolled in a Music Appreciation class and that was where it all began. Here are some of the composers/pieces that I enjoy:

Beethoven : Moonlight Sonata
Tchaikovsky : Romeo and Juliet
Tchaikovsky : Nutcracker Suite
And basically all piano stuff

I also love Classical Baby!!

I listen to classical music at times, but I wouldn't be able to name specific pieces. I really just wanted this thread to be above the Lil Wayne thread.

There are several pieces which I never grow tired of.

Bach - Air (Orchestral Suite No.3 in D Major).
Bach - Jesus Bleibet Meine Freunde.
Chopin - Nocturne in G Minor.

And many others.

Claude Debussy - Clair De Lune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlvUepMa31o) - is one of my favorite classical cues
Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU96Yvk310s)



and I'm with Nightcrawler on 'Air'

I hold steady that Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is perhaps the most beautiful piece ever composed. Most of his Symphony No. 5 beyond the ubitiquitous first four notes is stellar as well.

Surprised I'm the first to mention Mozart, the greatest musical mind in history. His symphonies aren't the well-known "thunder" pieces like much of Tchaikovsky's (i.e. - 1812 overture, Russian dance from Nutcracker, etc.), but embody the inherent beauty that music can have. Eine klein nachtmusik is incredible, as is his Symphony No. 40 and a lot of his piano compositions.

In all, if I couldn't listen to the msotly undergorund rap that I do, classical would comprise mostly all of my lsitening time.

Yeah, Mozart is fantastic.

"Dies Irae", "Lacrimosa" and his sonatas ("Sonata No 11 in A Major K331"!) are beautiful.

Oh, good call Homyrrh. Mozart is one of my favorite composer eventhough I did not remember to give recognition to his works in my first post. I actually own the Amadeus soundtrack, which includes some of his amazing piece, that I listen to regularly.

Like I stated above, I'm new to the classical form of music. So Bach and Chopin are new to me; going to do some research on those guys. =D

Don't worry, it's those pieces you've heard a thousand times, probably already love, just don't know their name. You'll recognize it immediately.

Tchaikovsky's my fav. composer.


Dvorak is underappreciated

[Homyrrh]

Few more: Pachebel, Wagner, Offenbach, Copland, Joplin, Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss, Holdst, and Vivaldi.

In addition to what everyone has already mentioned, I love Franz Schubert's Symphony #8 in B Minor, or more commonly known as the "Unfinished" symphony. Also, heard in Minority Report. Something enthralling about it.
