What (in your opinion) is the best piece of Classical Music that you have ever heard?
I'll have to go with Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1
It's just so full of emotion and really relaxing. It brightens up my day every time :)
So how about it Flood? (Please provide links if you can :))

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=248m-CP6ngE]Part two.[/url] Caprice Bohemien, Op. 12 by Rachmaninov. A brilliant piece and all time favorite until I hear another to sway my opinion.

"Classical" is such a broad term for music. Are we talking Mid Evil, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th Century music for base era's, but I hear more than often people throwing around "Classical" as if they could combine them all into one folder. You have so many options to choose from [i]within[/i] each era; Greek Plays, Italian Baroque Opera (Monteverdi), Haydn String Quartet's, possibly back to Gregorian Chant, bumping it up to 20th century 12 tone pieces/Serialism (Shoenburg) or even just your classical American composers like Sousa, Gershwin, Copeland, Cage or Bernstein. There is so much more. In short, there isn't any way I could classify all these terms into one piece, it's like saying "what website is the best". Best for what? They each have their own purpose. And we haven't even touched on Jazz yet ;-)

Gotta love sneaking around the Mountain King's halls.

I don't really think I can nail it down to one piece. I think the deal with classical music is you're supposed to look at it in context, how it all fits together, or something intellectual like that.

I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about classical music. This is the only song I can name, and thats because of the Halo 3 commercial. Still good. These songs are all amazing though.

There was only one thing by Mozart in this thread, I needed to fix that.

Always been a fan of Dvorak's New World Symphony.

Eroica

Ludwig van Beethoven up in this bitch.

This is my personal favorite.

I like some of Beethoven's stuff, and Chopin is also good. I also like Tchaikovsky. Mostly because of his name. It's fun to say. And the end of his 1812 Overture is brilliant (it's the music that plays in V for Vendetta when V blows up the Old Bailey).

FANTASIA -blam!- YEAH

Edited by VerticalGradient: 4/17/2013 6:21:45 PMI won't pretend that I know of much classical music. But I've been a fan of Nocturne in E Flat Major, Opus 9 No.2 ever since I watched The Pianist (although it was a different version of Nocturne in the film, but I found it later). Yeah, the one from Bioshock. But Bioshock's scores are awesome anyways.
