｢ I play the piano so I have a bunch of favorites.

Under Liszt, I love his La Campanella and Libestraume no.3.
Under Chopin, I love his Étude Op. 10 no.3 and Nocturne Op. 9 no. 2.
Under Mozart I love his Rondo Alla Turca and his Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (all 4 movements).
Under V. Monti I love his Csárdás.
Under Tchaikovsky I love almost all the songs in his ballets (Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Nutcracker -- I had a good childhood).
Under Scott Joplin I love his Maple Leaf Rag, Harmony Club Waltz, and of course the Entertainer.

It just so happens that I have my music books right beside me so I just picked my faves. blaugh ｣

Pachelbel's Canon, I guess? biggrin

[KalaHollow]

I've loved Faure's Pavane ever since playing it in orchestra years ago, and Chopin's Grande Valse Brilliante is one of my favourite piano pieces (been trying to learn it for years, but it's difficult) smile

Beethoven Symphony No. 3 "Eroica"

[karoux]

Pachelbel's Canon, for sure! <3

And forgive me if I'm listing things that aren't technically right, I dropped out of my music class before I actually learned anything. So if it's played on my local classical radio station, I lump it into classical. :s
Anyway, I also adore In the Hall of the Mountain King and Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu.

Chopin's Nocturne op. 9 no. 2, Asturias for classical guitar (I forget the composer), Mozart's Requiem in dm, Tchaikovsky's Waltz of flowers, Haydn's Surprise Symphony, Beethoven's Mondschein Sonata (especially the third movement).

[hexaphobia]

Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians. There's nothing quite like it.

Anything put out by mythical records. I really like new contemporary classical stuff. This is a great compilation to wet your toes,

Mythical Records - Odyssey of Rapture vol. 2

Begräbnisgesang by Brahams (not classical though) but haunting.

[gamingnight]

It depends on the day, but currently in between Air in G Major piano transcription from Bach's "Orchestra Suite in D Major," and Nimrod piano transcription from Edward Elgar's the "Enigma Variations."

[Kinetic Cosmos]

Theres a group that creates orchestral pieces for major movie productions called Two Steps From Hell. If you have not listened to them I TOTALLY recommend it!

Aside from that:
Andre Bocelli (feat. Sarah Brightman) - Time to say goodbye
Bach - Tocata & Fugue in D minor
Thomas Tallis: Spem in Alium & Sancte Deus
Moonlight Sonata (Derp, we all do probably)
Lakm'e, Act I: Flower Duet

Bonus: Theres a band by the name of Gregorian that did a cover with Bon Harris (Nitzer Ebb) of O Fortuna.... and yes, O Fortuna is my favorite of any piece out there.

Those are just a few in my collection. Anything by Beethoven is usually available in my playlist as well.

Enjoy!
