All I know by name is Beethovens 9th symphony. But basically I like the classical music they play on NPR at night. They never really bother to mention the name of the composser <_<

[ONE]

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
Beethoven - Fur Elise (of course)
Satie - Gymnopedie No 1
Pachelbel - Canon
Vaughan Williams - Fantasia On Greensleeves.mp3
and other pieces by Mozart and Wagner

Here are my favorite Opera pieces:

Bizet - L&#39;amour est un oiseau rebelle (Carmen)
Carl Orff - Carmena Burana
Van den Budenmayer - Zbigniew Preisner "Concerto en mi mineur" <- Dark and I love it&#33;

I&#39;m sure there are a lot of other amazing pieces that I&#39;ve never heard before. I&#39;m looking forward to sampling other people&#39;s picks.

I epecialy like Chopin and Tchaikovski (sp?), don&#39;t know too many of their compositions by name, though. Beethoven is also excellent (of course). :)

[praxis1966]

Rachmoninov&#39;s 42nd Symphony, full of emotion and loud percussion

[Lefty]

I&#39;m not a big classical music connoseur (sp?) but I enjoy most of the Chopin stuff that I&#39;ve heard, and the 4 Seasons is good. The William Tell Overture is also good, I don&#39;t know much more.

[ONE]

Yeah, Chopin is good, but a little boring at times, you gotta be in the mood...

[suffianr]

I like the piano stuff, so I&#39;d say my favourite is Claire de Lune.

Ha, last night I heard this one song on NPR that I like but never new the name of until then. Flight of the bumblebee. That&#39;s not really classical is it? Oh well. I wish I still new how to play the violin <_<

oh yeah, flight of the bumble bee is a very well known classical piece composed by Korsakov. TARAtartarTARA TARAtartarTARA TARARARArarara - ok, I suck at this, I&#39;ll stop (it is much easier to hear it in your head than it is to type it :P )
