| chopin, bach, and vivaldi |
| Not my fave genre, but Beethoven's good. |

| Brahms, Paulinyi, Salieri. |
| It's beautiful, but I never listen to it. Dunno why :/ |
| Mmm I listen to classical/eay listening music evry night to put me to sleep. At the moment I love Debussy's Claire De Lune, Chopis Prelude in E Minor and Brahms. Generally I just love the sound of the piano, most beautiful instrument ever. So I also love Aeris Theme and Zanarkand from Final Fantasy and Carter Burwells collection. I wish I could play! I took lessons as a kid but my teacher was german and made me cry all the time so I quit. I was such a silly child. |
| I love The Planets, Carmina Burana, and Dvorak's 8th & 9th. Marche slave is awesome too. |

| I just donwloaded Carnival of the Animals, and it's awesome, especially Royal March of the Lion and Aquarium. Now on to Peter and the Wolf.

Already have: Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata Beethoven - Fur Elise Chopin - Etude Op. 10 No. 12, The Revolution Vivaldi - Four Seasons Yes, my collection is very small. Are you looking for pieces for single violins and pianos or just stuff with them in it. If it's the first then I can't help you much, but if it's the second then you should check out Dvorak's 8th & 9th Symphonies. |

| Oh yes, quite. Nothing above a daily dosis of romanticism. Eh, as for favorites, I'd have to put Ralph Vaughan Williams, Liszt and Tchaikovsky in my top. As for other composers, honourable mentions go to Holst, Grieg, Beethoven, Strauss, Chopin, Dvorak, Debussy, Mozart, Profokiev and Rachmaninov. Addmitingly, I cannot resist the pomp of Orff or Wagner either. |
| I'll skip the part about classical music not at all meaning what people think it means and just go with the commonly recieved notion of it. People actually like Carmina Burana? Peculiar. I thought O Fortuna was the only part of it anybody past a few secluded loons liked, the rest no one gives a thought (or, er, have no idea exists). I feel safe now that my love is not the only one. Mahler is mai waifu, and Penderecki is mai hubbie. Satie, Glass, Mussorgsky are mai concubines. |

| Classical music is the shit. I listen to it every now and then. Gotta love Grieg and Vivaldi. |
 |
| I love classical music! :D A few of my favorite composers are Sergei Rachmaninoff, Camille Saint-Saens, and Johannes Brahms. A few of my favorite songs are: Ave Maria D. 839 - Schubert Danse Macabre - Saint-Saens Te Deum - Part Requiem/Recordare - Mozart Vocalise - Rachmaninoff Hungarian Dance No. 19 - Brahms Fratres for Violin and Piano - Part Jazz Suite, Waltz 2 - Shostakovich |
There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. |
| I like stuff by Chopin and thats pretty much it. |
GeneralZaroff said: I need some piano ... recommendations. |
 |
| Listening to classical music is one of my favorite past times. I also listen to opera music. Beethoven and Streabogg are genius. So, yeah. |
| I like Classical, but i just started to listen to it recently. Soo i don't know any composers. |
| [Your Sig, But With Cake.] |
| I have only listened to Beethoven and Mozart when it comes to classical music. I can't listen to that kind of music much unless I am in a specific kind of mood. |

GeneralZaroff said: I need some piano or violin recommendations. Already have: Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata Beethoven - Fur Elise Chopin - Etude Op. 10 No. 12, The Revolution Vivaldi - Four Seasons Yes, my collection is very small. I suppose you'd want to look deeper into Beethoven and Chopin's other sonatas and études/preludes/nocturnes (respectively), since they're among the most listener-accessible and well-recognised piano pieces. And perhaps some Haydn and Mozart sonatas, though since I don't care much for the Classical period, I don't know many of either - though I suppose I enjoy Mozart's sonatas Nos. 6 and 14. Though I'm not really a big listener of Beethoven or Chopin, either, I've known the piano long enough to know a few of the generally more well-known pieces: Beef Oven As for Show Pan: Satie's Gymnopédies are quite nice, though all three carry the same theme. His Gnossienes might be to your taste if you enjoy the Gymnopédies as well. I'd look a bit into Liszt (though his piano music more than often seems to be shallow showpieces) and perhaps Schumann/bert. You can try out Debussy and Ravel and see if you're into impressionist music (though I am not). Some piano concerti (piano accompanied by orchestra) you might want to look into would be- I'd say the most well-known of the above would be Mozart's 21st, Beethoven's 5th, Chopin's 1st, both of Brahms', Tchaikovsky's 1st, Grieg's, and Rachmaninoff's 2nd & 3rd. My personal favourites are Rach's 2nd & 3rd, Medtner's 1st, Scriabin's, Tchaikovsky's 1st, Henselt's, Moszkowski's, Chopin's 1st, Brahm's 2nd, Litolff's Concerto Symphonique No. 4, and d'Albert's 2nd. For violin (in which I am much less versed), I'd begin with some of Beethoven and Mozart's violin sonatas/concertos (though I'd be hard-pressed to remember any individually beyond Beethoven's 9th [Not the symphony]) and various other Vivaldi and Paganini concerti/capprici. As for personal tastes: Mahler is actually mai waifu. The second and sixth symphonies are probably my two favourite symphonies of any composers; but I also love the first and eighth, followed closely by the ninth, then the third and fifth, and lastly the fourth and seventh, which are simply not as awesome. I like what little was completed of his tenth, but I find it hard to rank it. Shostakovich's symphonies are also quite awesome: the fifth and tenth (which I saw performed just a week ago) are my favourites, the seventh and eighth are also great, then I suppose the ninth and eleventh. I'm more a fan of Beethoven's symphonies than his piano works (despite being a pianist), especially the seventh and ninth; the third anf fifth are also nice. I'd list my favourite symphonies roughly as follows: And various other orchestral/choral works I like- Piano concerti listed above, and the only other concerti I've really listened to and liked are Shostakovich's first cello concerto, Mozart's Oboe concerto, the Dvořák violin and double concerti, and I guess Beethoven's triple concerto. Piano solo pieces would probably constitute the largest number of individual pieces, but here goes: Well, I probably forgot something. If I had to pick a set of favourite composers, I'd say Mahler, Scriabin, Medtner, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich (yes I am partial to Russians), Alkan, and perhaps Henselt or Chopin. Lifey said: Only if its used to accompany a game scene/film scene/etc. Couldnt just sit there and listen to it on its own. The majority of "Classical music" is nothing like film score, TV or game soundtrack, and other incidental music. Unless, of course, it is incidental music accompanying a ballet or something. Trust me, I've tried unsuccessfully to listen to soundtracks for years. |
Both excellent pieces, but I find it hard to say that they "fall into the same genre". I doubt Tenmon could write a viable violin sonata (or symphony) as much as I doubt Beethoven or Dvořák could write incidental music like that of Tenmon's. EDIT: I should post a violin sonata to illustrate the difference. |
| i like jazz..jazz is better than classical :P |
 |
| Classical isn't my kinda music, but I do appreciate really good ones. |
| Humm.... the closest I've come to appreciating classical music is listening to Canon.... rock version. =D It's good. |
| i like Nocture pour Tamaki from ouran high school host club too ^^ |
     |
| I'm really getting off on Swan Lake lately, especially No. 10 Scene. |
| This is a serious post. You're not allowed to delete it. |
| Well, I'm still new to the genre so I only know some of greatest hits. Lately I'm into trish trash polka :) |
 |
| yeah i do like classical music, it very recent but i do, when you make beats you get good ears with them sounds, my favorites are "Marriage of figaro" from Mozart and "Merry christmas Mr Lawrence" from Ryuichi Sakamoto. give it a try, real pleasure for the ears. |
 |
| I do enjoy classical music very much. A little off topic, lately, I've been listening to Apocalyptica. I consider them pretty classic. |
| Apocalyptica is shit. |

| I don't really remember when I started listening to classical music, I guess I grew up listening to it. My favorites are probably Handel, Telemann, Schumann, and of course Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and Bach. I've also been liking Debussy recently. Right now my favorite song may be Mozart's Piano Concerto #20 in D MInor, K 466 or Telemann's Sonata in D - specifically Mvmt. II-Presto |
 |
| i like classical and the CD i listen to most is done by Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka If you can't handle creepy don't bother listening. this is what I fall asleep to lol XD |
    |
| I was hoping there would be a thread like this! I'm a classical pianist, so it's really all I listen to with the exception of some of the more popular Japanese underground bands. My favorite composers are French... Chopin, Debussy, Ravel.... Chopin's Nocturne's hold a special place in my heart and Debussy's anything is wonderful! As for Ravel... His left handed concerto is spectacular! but only to listen to because I only do solo-piano. ^_^; Brahms is amazing as well~ |
