Classical Music? ANYONE?!

Is there anyone who likes classical music? If so, who is your favourite composer?

Mendelshon
Paganini
Rachmaninoff
Mozart
Aram Khacathurian

sorry for spelling mistakes

Da da da DA DA daDA da DA da dada da dada....

Ode to Joy by Beethoven....

My favourite piece however, is Pachelbel's Canon in D.... you should hear my arrangement of it for four harmonicas....

Well, the Russians are notorious for having tricky names for spelling! My favourites are Handel and Beethoven. Do you have any particular favourite pieces?

Yeah, Pachelbel's Canon is pretty special- his other work, however, is rather..... dull!

i dont really have a favorite piece. i always like Mendelsohns- scherzo from a midsummer night's dream op. 61, no. 1

The fact that Beethoven's Ode to Joy is the anthem of the European Union makes me somewhat less able to enjoy it!

I really love Pachelbel's Canon, great piece of music.
In terms of composers for films, I like Danny Elfman,Howard Shore and Hans Zimmer. The music for Gladiator and LOTR was simply beautiful. 'Now we are free' and 'Into the west' are incredible.
Also love Andrea Bocelli.
There's so many pieces of classical music I enjoy but I couldn't tell you the composer.

You seem like a really nice chap Misc_Rose.
Anyone like The Italian Allegro Vivace in Beethoven's Symphony no.4?

Mendelsohn and Vivaldi are quite nice... I also like the Bach cello suites a lot.

Bach is great too 👆

I dig Tchaikovsky

and some Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach

Beethoven and Bach are great, i LOVE the 9th.S by Beethoven

Bethoven's 4th symphony is really quite something...

Pachelbels Canon is great of course...

I like Bach quite a bit, Vivaldi (Baroque in general is pretty decent)
Tschaikowsky's Swan Lake is just amazing
Edvard Grieg is very good
Smetana's Moldau is amazing...

Classical music is great

Dmitri Shostakovich is one of my favourites.

Richard Wagner is amazing, Carl Orff and Dvorak are others I enjoy listening to.

When I found out about Ode to Joy being the EU anthem, I thought, what would Beethoven say if he was alive today.....

He'd say, "Let me out of this box, I'm suffocating!!"

Ha ha! It's a shame really, It's such a nice piece of music but it is sad what is must represent.

I Love Classical Music, although alot of it I don't know the name of 😮

But I really love Arvo Part. An Estonian composer.
Especially his piece 'Spiegel im Spiegel'

I love the delicateness of his music..
I'll post a snippet from his website as it explains it much better than I ever could..

"The technique he invented, or discovered, and to which he has remained loyal, practically without exception, he calls "tintinnabuli" (from the Latin, little bells), which he describes thus: "I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played. This one note, or a silent beat, or a moment of silence, comforts me. I work with very few elements —with one voice, two voices. I build with primitive materials —with the triad, with one specific tonality. The three notes of a triad are like bells and that is why I call it tintinnabulation."

Also love the pieces - O Mia Babbino Caro ~ Puccini
and Bolero ~ Ravel
