What is your favorite classical music?

He should definitely get that. (#4)
There must be a favorite piece of classical music out there. What's yours?
 
...Don't you have enough of these yet...?

But my favorite classical piece is Mozart's 40th symphony. But like I said in your other thread, I generally prefer baroque or romantic, in which case there are FAR too many to mention.
 
Same here. Far to many to choose one. However, I like Beethoven, Handel, Bach, and all those other big names. Oh, and Rachmaninoff. I love him.

Can you play any Rachmaninoff? I taught myself the Prelude in C# minor last summer, and I really want to do his piano concerto (Don't remember the name, his most popular one), but not until I finish my Grieg A minor concerto...
 
Whoa, you sound like a busy guy. No, I cannot play much of anything at the moment, let alone a piano composition by Rachmoninoff. That would be my brother, (in)Famous. Send him a PM and he'll probably topple from his chair. Go ahead... do it! (Hee, hee)
 
Not the biggest classical fan but some my favorite pieces are Pachelbel's Cannon, Flight of the Bumblebee, and a lot of Beethoven.

Does Emerson, Lake, and Palmer count?? I would think not, but many of their songs have a classical feel

EDIT: And the Phillip Glass songs Purit Igoe and Prophecies of Koyaanisqatsi fame. Not technically classic, I don't think, but awesome nonetheless.

I think Philip Glass does qualify as a classical composer. I have a few of his symphonies, and was able to watch the Nashville Symphony perform one of his violin sonatas concertos. :oops:

In addition to being great music, Koyaanisqatsi is a great film as well.
 
I love the three B's (Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms), but I also like Handel for his Messiah, and Haydn for his trumpet concertos.

I cannot stand Hummel, however.
