Cliche but I always loved Moonlight Sonata.
Other choices would be Waltz in D-flat or Nocturne in E-flat major (Op. 9 No. 2) --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X ... Copied to Clipboard!

I made a list at some point. This is strongly influenced by the instruments I play though. There's a mix of "obvious" ones and less obvious ones:
Solo Violin: Violin Concerto in D Major by Tchaikovsky Concerto No. 9 in A Minor by De Beriot Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor by Bach Solo Piano: Piano Concerto in G Major by Ravel Piano Concerto in F Major by Gershwin Piano Concerto No. 1 by Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto in A Minor by Grieg Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin Sonata Pathetique by Beethoven Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Listz Ballet: Rite of Spring by Stravinsky The Firebird by Stravinsky Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov Prelude to the Afternoon of the Faun by Debussy Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovsky Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky The Flower Waltz from Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky Orchestral: Capriccio Espagnole by Rimsky-Korsakov 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky Symphonic Metamorphosis by Hindemith Symphony No. 2 in D Major by Sibelius Cuban Overture by Gershwin Symphony No. 5 by Tchaikovsky Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev Sorcerer's Apprentice by Dukas Night on Bald Mountain by Mussorgsky Opera: (Most of these are just for the overtures) Die Meistersinger von Nurnburg by Wagner Tristan and Isolde by Wagner Die Fledermaus by J.

I never thought I'd see a real discussion of classical music on CE. These are good suggestions.
To me, Chopin's collection of Nocturnes are one of the greatest things to ever happen. Stravinsky's Firebird Suite is one piece I can listen to all the way through once a day and never tire of it. Debussy is always bliss, including his more subdued pieces such as Reverie. And a sleeper that many people don't know about would be the Memo Flora piano concerto by Takashi Yoshimatsu. Modern, but absolutely beautiful. --- Classical music is the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcnzqKpFZ0I ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean, the rite of spring single handedly provided enough inspiration for nearly all modern film music as well as some metal and rock rhythms
I love my French composers. La Mer by debussy is, in my opinion, the greatest piece of art ever created Ravel is great too Standards like Beethovens 9th is obvious for selection...or the emperor. Brahms violin concerto is tasty Honestly too many to pick one ... Copied to Clipboard!

Making a list of these to listen to when I have the time >_>
For my part, I'll echo the praise for Dvorak's 9th. Ride of the Valkyries always gets me pumped, lol. Schubert's 9th is wonderful, too. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is off topic, probably already known, and not nearly on the same level as anything mentioned so far, but I have to say, I really enjoy Lindsey Sterling as a modern day musician (if we'd even call her that, I'd think so though).
Blends her music in a really unique and awesome way IMO. Solid mix of classical and edm(ish) in a way I wasn't expecting when I first heard her years ago. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X ...

oh right, some more contemporary stuff:

Alkaloid 12/07/17 2:04:41 AM #46: |
Looks like most of the early modern and romantic classics have been listed, so I'll contribute some older stuff
Literally any harpsichord sonata by Domenico Scarlatti. Pick any one at random. It literally doesn't matter. L'Orfeo by Monteverdi Prelude in E Major (BuxWV 141) by Buxtehude Pretty much any violin concerto by Vivaldi will suffice (they're all a bit similar) Symphony 92, Haydn Piano Sonata in F Major (K. 332) Mozart Palstinalied by Vogelweide And you should probably listen to at least the Kyrie of the Machaut mass (Messe de Nostre Dame). It was a landmark piece of liturgical music. --- Alkaloid: It's just water in a cup. ... Copied to Clipboard!
