Favourite Classical Pieces?

Mozart's Serenade No. 13 for string in G minor or um A Little Night Music.

 

All the music of Mozart,Beethoven,and Chopin.

 

Well now i like DANZON 2 form Arturo marquez, El carnaval de Shumman. Le sacre du printemps ("The Rite of Spring") Stravinsky

 

This thread says "favorite classical piece", but a lot of people have been listing romantic artists.

so if that is allowed, then wow Im really suprised no one has mentioned franz list.

his work is amazing.

 

i just love The Rite of Spring from Ígor Stravinski

 

Bela Bartok's "Romanian folk dances".

Oh, and ditto on "Rite of spring" and "Pictures at an exhibition".

 

And many have listed from the modern...

The question was not "favorite piece from the classical era"...

Oh, and could you work on those contractions?
Capitals and spell check wouldn't hurt either....

 

rachmaninov piano concerto 2

 

Clementi Sonatina in G Major, Op. 36, No. 2
Haydn, Franz Joseph Sonata in E Major, Sonata in D Major
Back - The Goldberg Variations
Rimsky-Korsakov - Song of India

 

One of my favourite pieces is "keyboard sonata L366 in D Minor" by Domenico Scarlatti who is really a baroque composer but his music greatly influenced the classical style. Anything by Tchaikovsky, Paganini or Beethoven also floats my boat.

 

also --

mahler 3
stravinsky's firebird suite [very fun to play !]

 

bach's fugue work is stellar also...

been listening to those all day.

 

i am currently in love with "piano concerto no. 5 in f minor" by bach, "suite no. 2 in b minor" by bach, and "symphony no. 25 in g minor" by mozart.

 

Beethoven - Ode to joy
Tchaikovsky-The Nutcracker
Mozart - A musical Joke

 

my desert island piece is Mozart's Symphony Concertante for Violin and Viola.

as played by Heifitz.

 

Elgar - Nimrod Variations - sends chills down my spine and has been known to make me and my boyfriend cry

Pachebel Canon in D

Mozart - Lacrimosa

Tchaikovsky - swan lake

 

Do you mean the Lacrimosa from the Requiem Mass? If so I think this is one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of music ever written.

 

Yes i do. its incredible.

 

It actually isn't Mozart. Mozart himself only wrote 8 bars of the lacrymosa.

Which version do you listen to? Süssmayer is ok, but the Robert Levin score is much better, and has 2 more movements.

 

Got me there - I've no idea. The CD i have is of an oldish recording (1962) with Herbert von Karajan conducting. I have heard other recordings, but personally I think this one is just right.
Also actually sung in the Requiem when I was a treble in the school choir.
An amazing experience, which made going onto Honneger's 'King David' the next year extrememly tedious.
