Currently, I am obsessed with the third movement of Mahler's 1st symphony. He takes the classic "Frere Jacques" and turns it into a funeral march that's incredibly haunting.

Edvard Greig's Death of Ase from his Peer Gynt Suite

Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 in C minor is a current favorite.

Currently, I'm in love with Shostakovich's 5th. I got to see it performed at Carnegie Hall last year, but never really enjoyed it until I found a recording of it at my local library. I also am rather fond of Beethoven in general.

I love a lot of music compositions, but my favorite is definatly one from Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. The organ is one of the best instruments ever criated. heart

Composed in 1723, The Four Seasons is Vivaldi's best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces of Baroque music.

Sorry that this is ridiculously unoriginal but Dvorak's 9th Symphony is so intense. It has lots of emotion and pure, unbridled power. Oh yeah, and the horn parts are AWESOME.

And I love any and all of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies.
