Talking Classical

Classical music. Just like the heading states.
Johann Sebastian Bach
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Ludwig Van Beethoven

And such. The Masters. Does anyone else here appreciate the beautiful pieces they have graced us with over the years?

I LOVE Classical for a bit of self indulgence. Particulary Tuscan music. Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Bach are some of the ones I like most. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to the point where I can readily identify composers, but Classical music is gorgeous.

Mmm, yes. My favorites are:

Mozart
Bach
Beethoven
Telemann (so UNDERrated - he was an amazing composer!)
Tchaikovsky
Rimski-Korsakov

and so on....

I play flute, piccolo, and piano, so I not only enjoy listening to classical, but playing it as well.

What are everyones' favorite pieces??

I can't really listen to a lot of classical music without starting to analyse it (damn my education, ruins the music entirely), but if I do it's usually opera or something like Mozart or Grieg. I'm particularly fond of baroque operas (Purcell!) and french impressionism, for some odd reason. I <3 Debussy and Satie. =)

Well, let's see...

Rachmaninoff
Beethoven
Chopin
Dvorák
Raul Di Blasio (contemporary pianist)
James Galway (flutist)

Film soundtracks are also great.



My brother is a fanatic of classical music and has an extensive collection. Thanks to him I learned to appreciate and enjoy classical.

As a friend of mine once said "Classical music is love." I'm quite fond of classical, but I'm absolutely terrible at recognising a composer (that goes for any type of music).

In my mind nothing compares to Nobuo Uematsu's One Winged Angel performed live. It's such a beautiful experience. . . anyone got a time machine I can borrow?

I'm a big baroque fan, especially Bach. Vivaldi is tight as well.

Absolutely! I'm a music major with my focus of study in piano so naturally I have a love for the classics. I'm very into the Baroque era, too! There's nothing like a harpsichord to get me going ;D. I must say that Beethoven will forever have my heart. "The Tempest No.2" has always been my favorite piano piece! If you haven't heard it, check it out; it's lovely!

Ahah! I completely understand. At this point when I listen to anything of the sort I try and pick out modulations, cadences, phrases, etc, etc, it is such a pain! The sad part is, I do it all involuntarily, hmph.

& yes, Debussy is definitely a genius!

Ah, excellent! Classical works by the Old Masters, as well as modern composers, can be most gratifying. I am not especially picky, but examples of some composers to whom I listen with relative consistency include Beethoven, Vaughan-Williams, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Mozart (primarily his Requiem), Bach, Berlioz, Saint-Saens, Copland and Glass.

Cool

Does anybody love the brilliant music of Igor Stravinsky ?

His most famous piece of music was `The Rite Of Spring` which was musically very ahead of its time.

`The music's innovative complex rhythmic structures, timbres, and use of dissonance have made it a seminal 20th century composition. The scandal of a riot at its 1913 premier made it one of the most internationally well-known and controversial works in performance history.` Wikipedia

I first heard this amazing and powerful piece of music as a music student, and it blew me away, and remains one of my all time favourite pieces of music !!!.

of course...But my favorite classical is from the Romantic era....Ravel, Rachmaninov, Debussy, Brahms...Chopin is my FAVORITE... 98% of what I play on piano is Chopin...Too bad I'm too emotionally distracted right now and feel too much baggage to play through a 12 minute piece or one which requires lots of stamina and energy.... But therefore I'll listen to the pieces....feel them in my heart the most...

I wish I could analyse music...I think it'd help me perform them better start to finish if I understood the "math" behind them... I can sight read and figure stuff out on the keyboard cause I have a good sense of chord structure...

I like Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Saint-Saens, Satie, Bartok, Dvorak, Chopin, Greig, Gounod, Khachaturian, and Kabalevsky. Some of my favorite songs are Saint-Saens's Danse Macabre, Kabalevsky's Comedian Waltz, Satie's Gnossiennes, Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# Minor, Bartok's Romanian Dance No. 1, Liszt's Funerailles, Khachaturian's Masquerade Waltz, and a bunch of others but I don't feel like listing them all.

Yeah, as you can see, I like classical music.

I've always had a like towards classical. Being a person who plays classical music, I guess it kind of molded itself into me more. People call me a nerd for it. Blow me.
