    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.

    beethoven is probably my pick, vivaldi not too far behind

    le quatttro staggioni is one bad ass composition

    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,
