What is Your Favorite Classical Piece?

[Lord Sreder]

Hey everyone! I'm curious what your favorite classical piece is? Any type of piece is fine whether its a solo piece or a full on symphony. As long as its within the time from the baroque period to the modern periods of music I'm fine with anything.

If you could post a video link that would make me happy. Otherwise make sure you give enough information of the piece for me to look it up. Thanks! 3nodding

[The Green Contort]

Beethoven's Piano Sonata #14. Honestly, I cannot describe how this makes me feel. I'm just going to link it. XD

Thank you very much. I definetly enjoyed this piece. The added vocals really added a lot in that version blaugh

xd I suppose I should also put up my own favorite piece. Currently my favorite piece is Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. It is fantastic!

Two movements of that sonata are missing. I'm also not fond of the vocal over the top or what seems to be a string instrument (cello?) in the background.

As for my favorites: Beethoven's late string quartets and late piano sonatas. I'll see if I can find some YouTube links later.

The Planets Suite by Gustav Holst is pretty good, especially Jupiter 3nodding

Peter and the wolf Sergei Prokofiev

[Pinecone Inferno]

I've really gotten into Steve Reich this past year (big change from a lot of classical music I had been listening to prior), and after writing a term paper on some of his works I've found myself listening to "City Life" on a somewhat regular basis. Here's the first movement below. Really, it's phenomenal biggrin

[Kimjongilia]

Prometheus - The Poem of Fire and The Poem of Ecstasy, both by Alexander Scriabin. Nothing compares to them, in my opinion. They are two of the most unique and original compositions I have ever heard.

Sorry for the delay, I am incorrigibly lazy. As promised:

As unoriginal as this may seem, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
