Classical Music
 
I'm an avid fan of classical music.
Anyone else share my taste in music?

My all-time favourite classicals:
Liszt - La Campanella
Chopin - Chopin Waltz no. 14 in E minor
Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu
Mozart - Turkish March
Scott Joplin and George Gershwin - The Entertainer
F.J. Gossec - Gavotte
Vivaldi - The Four Seasons
Eli Bissonett - Pachelbel's Canon in D
The Pianos of Ch'an - Memories
Robin Spielberg - One Last Look
Robin Spielberg - Because of You
Robin Spielberg - Canon in D (Remix)

Anyone know any other good classical tunes?
If so, please share.

This isn't what you might call classical music, but I enjoy it very much nonetheless.

Chopin--Polonaise in A... Minor. I think. I can't remember. Too many Polonaises.

Probably one of my all-time favorites.

I just remembered one I really liked: Moonlight Sonata by Bach.

I find it soothing. I don't like it, but I really don't mind it. I love music with a classical or operatic sound to it though, like techno or rock with a bit of classical in it.

I've played Turkish March before for my piano exam.. I think /toolongago.

I don't many Canon in D is also one of my favourites. I've liked some of my past piano exam pieces (though I still hated practising cos I'm lazy as). One name I remember from the top of my head is:

Beethoven - Piano Sonata no. 8 in C Minor "Pathetique".

I only played the first and second movements (wish I was able to play up to the standard of these people back then lmao), though I think the third movement is the most recognised tune. The link I posted is only of the first movement, because first movement > second movement (second was too slowwww and boring for me). Though I really only liked the fast bits in the first movement, which starts at about the 2 minute mark in the link I posted.

I've got one I liked to play but I can't remember the name right now so I might look that up later.

I'm more of an opera person, but I do love a good Bach. The Goldberg Variations and the Brandenburg concertos spring to mind as overarching pieces I enjoy, although I can't really pick out any particular section I like the best out of them.

I love Canon in D...


Just because I played it when I was playing cello. I can also play those fast notes on the piano. I also like Canon Rock...

I enjoy classical music... But I often forget the names, just like I forget the name of all songs. xD

There were a couple I heard last year that I really enjoyed, but I don't remember the names or the composers. ._. Too bad I can't google tunes, would be easier to find songs when I don't know the name, artist, or lyrics, haha.

Hraesvelg 11-01-2008 06:03 AM

Some, hopefully, someday. That'd either require someone with good pitch or a neural interface, heh. It sure would come in handy, though.

I reread the initial list, and I hate to break it to you, but The Entertainer is ragtime, not classical.

I. Hate. Canon in D.

Sorry. Dx

I played in a quartet and we played for weddings. People who play for weddings usually hate Canon in D because it's so banal.....

@Blahs: OOOOHhh!!! I was learning the 3rd movement of the Pathetique (I didn't learn them in order) and then... I quit. haha. o-o

WE SHOULD COMBINEE OUR POWERS AND PLAY THE WHOLE THING!



(not that I know how to play it anymore lolsss).

I don't listen to Canon in D often at all so it's nice to hear it when I do. I guess if I had to play it over and over again all the time then I'd get sick of it too.

Ralath 11-01-2008 07:58 AM

No wait. I just listend to that. I lied. x)

I was learning another movement of something. I'd have to check my book... it's still marked up from my teacher making me count out rhythms... xD
