Mozart Requiem is an excerpt I have right now too. Hard as shit!

May I recommend:
-La Plus Que Lente, by Debussy, played on violin by Szeryng
-Trio Elegiaque by Rachmaninoff (no. 2, in D Minor)
-Fantasie in B Minor, by Scriabin

some beautiful pieces that I think you may like given your playlist!

Thank you!!! I will give them a whirl tonight. Is there any particular performance or rendition you recommend? Hunting for one I like can be.... taxing. Haha.

So.... That video. I dug one up for you. I just listened to it front to back, and I recommend it. I will say it is hard to sit through, as its sort of a sleepingmans song, but it goes into beautiful beautiful places at the end & really highlights most of Moricones genius. If you arent familiar with the movie, Im not sure if it will have the desired effect or not, but who knows. Big kudos if you got 10 minutes to spare & can appreciate the complimentary & juxtaposition of the arrangement, especially how it layers towards the end, and the way it tells a sort of story for all the characters. Good triumphs over Evil. Love dies. Really amazing piece.....

cheers :)

Beautiful song!!

these are what Id personally recommend:

Debussy - Henryk Szeryng on violin, Charles Reiner on piano

Rachmaninoff: Borodin Trio

Scriabin: Sofronitsky on piano

If you like them Im happy to recommend more! Im a professional classical musician and always eager to share it/discuss it with others @Xethuminra

There are no Prokofiev orchestra bass excerpts as hard as these ones tho

his oboe quintet is a very hard bass part but its chamber music. Have played it many times though.

Amazing piece, would love to play it in an orchestra one day

With Beethoven and Mendelssohn, its very fast strokes, with lots of shifting, so its just very hard to not only play clean and accurately, but to then be musical on top of it and make it feel easy. Zarathustra is just Strauss- a technical nightmare lol
