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

YouTube - Yanni - The Storm

YouTube - Yanni World Dance

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.

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.
