I remember once I listened to Beethoven's 9th Symphony twice while studying for the exams. I also remember I passed all of them.

I'm only going to assume that you mean 'classical' as in 'most instrumental non-jazz/electronic/rock music, usually made pre-second-half-of-the-20th-century' and not the classical era. Especially since most of these lists span multiple composers over hundreds of years and technique varieties.
Here, have some Béla Bartók, in that case.
And some Debussy.
And some Monteverdi.

Well I assume that 'classical' means 'the music with serious meanings', and that's my definition of classical music. Actually there are lots of composers in 20th century and 21st century:some of them use radical techniques such as the absence of tonality(a.k.a. atonic music) while others put jazz/rock elements into their own music(a perfect and famous example is some of Ravel's works).Mogsworth wrote:

It's not necessary to be instrumental, in my opinion. Like Schoenberg and Webern, who wrote lots of vocal music.
Lemme post some contemporary music. Just like contemporary art, they have meanings beyond comprehension.(But yeah, they're classified under classical music)
John Cage's 4'33
Schoenberg's 6 piano pieces Op.19
Edgard Varese's Ionization

John Cage's 4'33
this is my personal favourite
i remember i used to search for the first part for years, probably more than 10 years. i was so happy when i heard it on the radio and finaly found out what it was called.

Mozart is my favourite composer, especially his works in 'The marriage of Figaro', when I found out it was being performed in my local theater, I couldn't contain my excitement, and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance 
An absolutely stunningly beautiful piece, unfortunately it's by a lesser-known composer so not many know about it.
A piece that truly explores every inch of the piano to its full potential.
Written by Beethoven, Transcribed by Lizst, performed by Gould. Holy crap.

I'm a fan of Beethoven!!~~ <3
Trying to learn this.
Guess what!? I'm currently practicing Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# Minor!mathexpert9981 wrote:

I also like Franz Liszt a lot, but it's probably because I find playing his pieces fun, but fooking tiring sometimes.
Really cool, currently I'm working on the Pathetique sonata (among others, but that's my main piece) but I hope to play it in the future too~ :3Moriya Suwako wrote:

I've not yet played any of lizst's pieces, but I do enjoy listening to his 1st Mephisto Waltz; imo one of the best pieces in the romantic erawinber1 wrote:

Pathetique sonata is surely great, I particularly love the second movement. Btw the first movement is tough, good luck!mathexpert9981 wrote:

now that i don't really play piano these days, my ability to play that piece has gone to shit
Don't know if I would say best piece, but damn fun to play. those slow sections are damn amazing too.
M.Ravel - Gaspard de la Nuit
played by Martha Argerich
My most favorite Ravel's composition.
I want to play one of them... But all of them are extremly hard.

No shit, I know all of that. I majored in music and compose.
I'm commenting on the typical definition of 'classical' in the modern public mindset. I just find the 'classical' umbrella annoying as fuck.Also, this will forever be my favourite Mozart piece (obligation as a clarinetist).

Pachebel (Canon)
unfortunately, I've grown to somewhat loath it along with fur elise & moonlight
That is, unless I hear a spectacularly unique interpretation of it ofc~
I strongly agree. Here're some of the pieces I particularly love:winber1 wrote:
Speaking of Ravel, Miroirs is also pretty awesome too, though I prefer the later movements better. Don't know that many pieces from him tho.
Jeux d'eau
His first Piano Concerto
All played by famous guys: the first for Richter and the second for Michelangeli(Celibidache conducted London Symphony Orchestra, he's also one of my favorite conductors)
I particularly love these two points about Ravel:his beautiful orchestration and the embodiment of jazz elements. Former one, as most of you know, his Bolero is a perfect example: although only one theme, the piece is beautiful thanks to the different combinations of instruments. The latter one, you can see it in many pieces, like his two piano concertos, or his string quartet. He made the jazz music even more serious than Gershwin.
I've somehow fallen in love with Mozart's sonata# 13 in B-flat (especially the 1st and 3rd movements) despite never really having a love for any of his work before.. really wonderful, clear, beautiful, & precise piece~
Arvo Pärt is the best Estonian composer ever. He is reputated in composing scarled music but he also writes orchestral music. Somehow working in a minimalist style, he also likes composing college music (which means quoting other composers' work or melody into his own work.)
Credo (For piano, orchestra and choirs) is might his best-known work, as well as Tabula Rasa (for two violins, string orchestra, and prepared piano) and Cantus In Memoriam Benjamin Britten (for string orchestra and bell)
In Credo, you will hear the motive of Bach's best-known work: The first Prelude of Das Wohltemperierte Klavier. Then, after a somehow chaotic development part, the music goes back to peace. (A perfect Ternary form )
Sorry I cannot find videos with good quality. If you love contemporary music, then this work is worth to listen.

Haha, I know Ornstein, this 110-year-old composer composed a lot of crazy piano music.iantanye wrote:

There's an American composer called Frederic Rzewski, his style is just like Ornstein, which is full of discords. (I recommand his Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues and Four North American Ballads)
Dam that's a lot of discords. Must have been hell to read all those sharps and natruals >.>iantanye wrote:
