    the most i will do is appreciate their musical talent. i hate classical music. really can't stand it. i know people like it, but i just don't get it, what is there to enjoy? if i want to listen to some chill music, or some background music it's definitely gonna be jazz. love the jazz.

    I like classical music cause it's like the equivalent to their era's arena rock. It just sounds so huge. Mozart was a fucking rock star. Jazz is also amazing though. Huge jazz fan and would rather listen to Jazz than classic, but classical music is great still.

    beethoven is probably my pick, vivaldi not too far behind

    le quatttro staggioni is one bad ass composition

    true that, true that. if i knew how to spell "Tchaikovsky" before you came along and showed me i would have included him - most definately :D. as for Bizet - i'm not familiar with him :eek:.

    Pachelbel is so tired and overdone

    Rachmaninoff is supurb.
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

    A truly liberal person is conservative when necessary.

    Pro-life by choice.

    Spelling Tchaikovsky correctly is probably the only thing that I remember from my piano lessons! ;):D

    :D I'm sure you know Bizet. He wrote Carmen. :)

    I love classical music as well.

    My favorites, Vivaldi and Chopin, have already been mentioned. I'd also like to throw out Verdi, Belioz, and Haydn. I love Verdi's Dies Irae from his 'Requiem' works.

    ditto! :D

    My fave Vivaldi's are the Four Seasons, and his Concerto Grosso in A minor, 1st Movement: Op.3, No.6 from the collection L Estro Armonica.
    (i LOVED playing that one in orchestra! and I totally had to google that to get the right piece....) :)

    Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is my absolute favorite piece to play on piano... but it's been so long, it would take a ton of practice to get it back up to speed... :o

    and Beethoven's 5th is... well... a classic! ;)

    Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik deserves a honourable mention... :cool:

    Listen to Pierrot Lunaire. Your life will change. I also find a lot of connections between between 20th century classical or contemporary music and rock. Many bands have been influenced by 20th century composers, such as Frank Zappa by Varese, some members of the Dead loved Cage. Sonic Youth are doing their version of classical electronic music. The connections are so numerous that I hope someday there will no longer be a division by names...

    all the best,
