Two of my personal favourites go to:
  1. Johann Sebastian Bach - Air on the G String
  2. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Requiem
Utterly delicious to listen to no matter what day, time or place it is.

Bach and Mozart have time after time made amazing musical pieces that are experiences in themselves to listen to without feeling out of place.

Did someone say classical music?

As far as listening to actual classical music, I tend to go through phases. Thanks to finals (and having a counterpoint class), I'm analyzing the following fugue, and it's my favourite out of the WTC:


Needless to say, this final doesn't feel very much like work but more like fun. \:D/

Oh I love classical music very much :3
I like late-romantic music and 20-century-music such as Mahler,Ravel,Debussy,Schnittke,Scriabin very much.
But I also love Broque music like vivaldi and classical-period music like Beethoven.

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

Also quoting from Piano thread:

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).
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

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 :)

Szymanowski - Etude No. 3, Op. 4
An absolutely stunningly beautiful piece, unfortunately it's by a lesser-known composer so not many know about it.

Rachmaninoff - Prelude in C# Minor
A piece that truly explores every inch of the piano to its full potential.

Beethoven - Pastoral Symphony 1st movement
Written by Beethoven, Transcribed by Lizst, performed by Gould. Holy crap.

rachmaninoff da man

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~ :3

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 era

Pathetique sonata is surely great, I particularly love the second movement. Btw the first movement is tough, good luck! ;)

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. :(

Replying to a month-old response after you responded to something I made 6 months before your response.

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).

I Guess Antonio Vivaldi (Spring 4 seasons) and Pachebel (Canon) is the best for me
