I play violin, so I actually know quite a few songs, but I’d like to hear some other pieces too, and with different instruments. I don’t even know where to begin looking- there’s SO many composers. I tend to like music that’s either energetic or flowy and relaxed, but not sad music. Sad music just makes me depressed lol.
Any suggestions at all?
Dvorak’s 9th Symphony (New World) 2nd, 3rd, & 4th movements.
Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto & his Rhapsody on a Theme from Paganini
Tchaikovsky – Marche Slave
Tchaikovsky – Piano Concerto 1 (1st movement)
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto -1st movement
Beethoven’s 7th Symphony – 2nd movement
Elgar’s Enigma Variations – Nimrod
Saint-Seans “Danse Bacchanale” & Organ Symphony 3 (last movement)
Here are a few, take your time! They’re not really in order of importance, but this should suffice!
Go to a good, free music website, such as Grooveshark.com, ( or maybe just You Tube) and listen to some! Try looking up the pieces, and learning their composers. Sorry, I didn’t have enough time to put all of the composers’ names. Have fun!
