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.
Symphony No. 3 in D Minor (Mahler)
Carmen: Overture (Prelude) (Bizet)
Rodeo: Hoedown (Copland)
Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major (Mozart)
The Music of the Night
Symphony No. 4 in F Minor (Tchaikovsky)
Carmina Burana: I. O Fortuna and VI. Dance (Orff)
William Tell: Overture (Rossini)
1812 Festival Overture, Op. 49 (Tchaikovsky)
to name a few…
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)
oh i really like some of Jonathan c’s stuff. here some other stuff i like:
samuel barber- adagio for strings
gustav holst- the planets (all of them)
gustav mahler- symphony #5
Shostakovitch- symphony #11
dvorak: slavonic dances (i love #2)
that’s just a few things. good stuff.
My favorites tend to change quickly. Right now, my current favorites are as follows:
“For unto us a child is born” from The Messiah – Handel
Snow Maiden: Danses des oiseaux – Rimsky-Korsakoff
String Quartet No. 60 – Haydn
and more…
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
as a band student and a clarinet player my all time favorites have been chant and celebration and marches of the armed forces =]
I really like Shostakovich 5th Symphony.
