   I don’t have a favorite. It’s impossible to.
   But right now…I have 4 “favorites”. Just to let you know, I am a piano concerto fanatic.
   Saint-Saens:
   Piano Concerto No. 1 in D.
   Piano Concerto No. 5 in F.
   Raff:
   Piano Concerto in c
   ‘Ode to Spring’ – piece for Piano and Orchestra in G.
   Those are my current favorites.
   But I have many, many more.

   Heh, I don’t think you’ll agree with me, but I personally feel that Beethoven has composed the best classical music the world has ever known.
   Favorites:
   Pathetique Sonata (all movements)
   Moonlight Sonata (all movements)
   I also enjoy Mozart’s Fanatasies and Fugues, and some of his other late works.

   Ravel’s Bolero for sure. If I play just 5 minutes of it, I can’t help but listen to the entire song, all the way up to the deafening crescendo.
   Other favorites:
   Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin)
   G Major Concerto (Ravel)
   Pictures at an Exhibition (Mussorgsky)
   Thus Spoke Zarathustra (R. Strauss)
   Firebird Suite (Stravinsky)

   Well, I like anything by Bach, Handel, and Scarlatti but then again, they were composers from the baroque era.

   with out a doubt Clair de’ lune. absolutely beautiful. This piece goes through so many amazing phases. I can sit down and listen to it all day. Debussey is a genius. I highly recommend this piece
