Favoirte classical music piece...

I feel like I"m the only one who listens to classical music a lot... here are my 3 favorites....

1) Mozart's Requiem
2) Rachmoninov (ff) 's concerto 3
3) Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven

By.....me...Although I'm sure some one thought of that before me...

And I don't generally like Mozart, not like anyone cares...

pachelbel, for anyone who cares about spelling. I think that piece is nice to listen to, but i kind of characterize it as the pop of classical music. Simple, and fun. Still though, it is a nice piece. Not one of my favorites though.

But, my favorite is Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concert no. 1. Amazing, everyone should listen to it once. That is what i think went wrong with classical music, they started to go for a full orchestra and strayed from the godly instrumental family of strings.

Not really wrong, but i love strings. After the romantic era, everything got uglier and diverse for the sake of being diverse (e.g. John Crumb's sounds of the ancient...schoenberg, berg, webern, ehh. I can appreciate it, but that does not make it excellent music).

My favorite programmatic piece is Stravinski's the Rite of Spring. Maybe it is because i had to study it for a year and write too many essays on it, but still it is quite remarkable.

Was the Mendelssohn concerto 1 the one in E minor? Because I played that this year for the competition... still waiting for results, but I probably didn't win... I was the youngest one...

No, Mendelssohn composed many concertos for violin and the one in e minor is not the same as hsi violin concerto no. 1. i do not believe so anyway, i was just looking online to double check and they have different opus numbers.
