What do you play? Guitar? If you play guitar,BACH has really really professional musics for guitar.Its reaaly hard to understand them. I played violin for some years,I love Tchaikovsky music SO MUCH.

I have tried playing guitarr with tabs as my aid, but my fingers just stumbled on eachother. I've tried the piano too, but I'm too clumbsy. I did play the drums as a kid. I managed quite well, so at least I know how to keep a simple beat. (Or at least I did). I wish I could play an instrument though. Play it really well. I'm in awe of those who can play something.

Bach is a definite winner - my favorite, hands down! Beethoven is a must, as well, particularly Piano Sonata #14 in C#m (Opus 27, No. 2 "Moonlight Sonata"). That's got to be one of the all time nicest pieces ever composed. Claude Debussey's (sp?) "Claire de Lune" is a delight on the guitar - I have a copy of John Williams & Julian Bream performing it as a duet, but the solo version done by Laurindo Almeda is far better, just out of print.

Like the the complete Brandenberg Concertos (Bach) performed at the Smithsonian on original period instruments. That set includes violin/harpsichord sonatas, along with a set of 6 harpsichord partitas:-) I first heard "Moonlight" in a music appreciation class in the 7th grade, and have loved it ever since. I would love one day to perform it on my 12-string guitar - I think it's ideally suited to the instrument, though I'm not a good enough musician to do the arrangement (or possibly the performance).

Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: Yes he's probably the king of classical music Agreed!!! Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: I have not heard much of his work, but it's a frequent name on the classical "scene". I'll have to check his work out! I'm not sure that Debussy is technically considered "classical", but "Claire de Lune" is easily the most romantic love song I've ever heard performed. I know there are lyrics to it, but I've never heard them - the music alone is enough to send the heart soaring...

but I'm sure John Williams have copied some of Carl Orffs stuff. I'm currently playing Orffs Carmina Burana - Fortuna plango vulnera. There are some trumpet passages in there that really turned on my Star Wars EP1-senses. :) I bought a couple of classical CD's (Naxos mostly) and I'm planning on catching up on this subject. As I'm a total newbie when it comes to the terminology used (Adagio, Tempo, etc, etc) when describing classical pieces, it'll be interesting. Anyone here on CP with an ear for classical music? Got any suggestions? Bach, Orff and Tchaikovsky is on my todo list. Bach was a true genius - I like pretty much everything he's composed. -- Master, I'm so glad to feel your presence.

OK, Get Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens - one of my favourites. The Socreror's Apprentice is also excellent by PAul Dukas and you can often find the two on the same CD, with Night on Bare Mountain (Mussorgsky) if you're really lucky! The Moonlight Sonata is played best by Daniel Chorzempa - take it from me! Another amazing Beethoven piano sonata is the Pathetique, Opus 13 if I remember correctly. Incredible drama, speed and one of the most beautiful pieces of piano music ever written in the middle. Pachabel's Canon in D Major and another great piece (absolutley fantastic in fact) Scherezade by Rimsky-Korsakov. I could go on and on though...
