Classical Music

[Recoil]

I read that not only few around here like classical music as well as I do

...so what's your favorite composer(s)? My personal top list would be:

1. Beethoven - without a doubt my favorite! The 5th and 9th are just awesome
2. Vivaldi - the four seasons. 'nuff said
3. Mozart - can't think of a specific piece right now, but he's another great one.

Also I like victorean choreals... any tipps on artists or so? Can't find anything... ;(

Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, all the famous ones we learned about in music. I love classical music.

I heard some of Domenico Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas recetnly. They are worth a listen, if you can choose between them - he wrote 555 of them (that are known to exist).

As far as piano music goes, Rachmaninov, Liszt and Chopin are good staples, but all composers have lots of little-heard works under their belts. Dvorak, Stravinsky and Debussy all have some really nice stuff.

Beethoven 5th and Fur Elise, that's about all I like.
