I supose most of you do like any kind of clasicall music, but I'd like to know
something more specific. Periods, musicians, tendences, interpreters, etc...
Hell yes. =]
I like baroque. Like Bach (who could be greater than him?) and Vivaldi. (<3
mandolin orchestra renditions of his stuff)
And romantic.
Brahms, Mendelssohn, Chopin, some Schubert. Debussy. Liszt.
What I've heard of Bartok is cool too.
Of course Beethoven. (even though he's classical, and I generally don't like
that period much)
I also like Ravel's Pavane pour une infante défunte, but I haven't heard
enough of his work to know how much I like him. But since he's Debussy's
successor I probably will like him.
I also like Gregorian chants. Palestrina is yummy. And I've been meaning to
listen to Paganini, but never really did.
In general, I guess I like stuff that's slightly dreamy or overly epic sounding.
Classical music, ah what can i say about it? It's the music where i can just sit
back and relax to. Hell i can even pull out a book and start reading to it. I
can't say i have any favorites since i just turn on the radio and just listen to
classical music. Just a bunch of symphonies and whatnot.
Can't say anything about specific periods also, but maybe i should go
investigate that O.o
Ballet overtures are great like Tchaikovky's Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake.
Mozart opera is amazing. My all time favorite composer is Mendelssohn. Check him
out.
No, I mean, "I'd like to know something more speific" about what you
like.
In fact, I'm studying Clasiall music at University (to be a composer).
I like a lor of composers:
- Stravinsky
- Alban Berg
- Shönberg ("Pierrot Lunaire", first of all)
- Arvo Part
- Debussy
- Josquin desPrez
- Franck
- Ligeti
- a lot more, besides those everyone knows (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert)
I can't really say I'm too familiar with classical music, but there's a lot of
beautiful works out there. I can't really namedrop a whole lot, since I haven't
really been into it for very long.
My personal preferences tends to lean towards quieter pieces, though, like
Gymnopedie by Erik Satie. Anything with piano or violins, even down to pieces
with just one of each, can be just as gorgeous as anything played with a full
orchestra, especially if it's played so softly you can barely hear it. And if
anyone has any suggestions for more, I'd be much obliged.
Of course, if it has an etnic bent to it, that's very nice too, but I guess
that's more folk music than classical, which means this thread is hardly the
place for it. ^^;;
Hey Atys~ That's so awesome that you're studying to compose. I'm so terrible at
composition. xP I always got Cs. It seems like you're a fan of contemporaries.
x) I love Stravinsky and Debussy. Pierrot Lunaire kinda scared me though. :X Oh
well... different tastes... i'm just a typical romanticist. hehe. When you
compose don't forget the violins eh?
Love classical music. I thanked my dad for this.
I've studied about it at school and my knowledge about it is so and so, but
every now and then i like to read about the music periods on the
internet.
My 3 all time favorites are Chopin,Beethoven and Mozart.
Okay, it would be Dvorak's music.
Tchaikovky's music such as "Sleeping Beauty", especially at X-mas
time.
Choral music, especially from the 12 to the 16th Century Europe. (medieval,
especially :-) ! )
Fave tunes: "The Moldave", "The Blue Danube", and
Beethoven's Moonlight sonata. Has a dark mood, yes, but it's soo melodic and
when listening to the music of a Blue Moon, so mystical !
My favorites are Mozart and Dvorzak. I really enjoy their music but I also like
some of the more modern "classical" music (John Williams, etc...) as
well.

i just like classic songs from EVA
Absolutely, my favourite song would either have to be "Ode to Joy" obviously by Beethoven or "Marche Slave" By Tchaikovsky.

love classical music!not all, sure, but my favourite are:mozart, chopin and debussy...but i LOVE tchiaikovski (is it right?) xD
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is my ringtone, it's a dark and beautiful melody.
My favorite I think would be Dvorak's New World Symphony. Can't decide whether I like the 2nd or 4th movement more though.
BEETHOVEN AND MOZART!
y'know, for some reason I actually don't like Mozart. Some of his stuff, but in general not really.
Whom do I like to listen to ?
Okay, it would be Dvorak's music.
Tchaikovky's music such as "Sleeping Beauty", especially at X-mas time.
Choral music, especially from the 12 to the 16th Century Europe. (medieval, especially :-) ! )

I dislike Mozart as well. I forgot too mention that i like Dvorák.
Hrm, yeah, I like Brahm's choral pieces, but in general I'm not familiar with them.
My favorites are Mozart and Dvorzak. I really enjoy their music but I also like some of the more modern "classical" music (John Williams, etc...) as well.
I like Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Beethoven, theres some others as well. I also like some of the modern classical too.
i love classical music
i play the viola so its kinda given that you have to like classical music to play it
