Yeah I'm sure it is... it sounds wonderful though. Is it as hard as Moonlight Sonata Movement #3? I hear that it has a notorious reputation for being extremely difficult.

i honestly don't know :P . i think some stuff by chopin liszt paganini is as hard as it gets for the average human. unless there's some piece with with duel time signatures, atonal key, and 32th note rhythmes!! that would sound like a big mess tho

Probably not my favorite, it's hard to choose, but I've listened to this a lot lately.

OH yeah, I'm a huge fan of Pipe Organ music... and I guess because I'm so ignorant on a lot of great classical music, toccatta and fugue is my favorite example. It's one of my absolute favorite things to listen to.

Far too many to choose just one but a short list would include the following (some a little hackneyed):

Minute Waltz - Chopin

The Well Tempered Clavier Part1: Prelude and Fugue in C major - Bach

The Beautiful Blue Danube - Strauss

Pretty much anything by Elgar, Smetana, Vivaldi, or Wagner.

All classical is bad, so none._Margulis_

... and yet it's so much better than whatever trash you happen to fill your ears with. Go figure. Comments like this speak more about you than they do about the genre.

I'm not sure how c|assical this can be considered, but Ave Maria always makes me want to cry.

I don't listen to much c|assical music though... sadly.

A truly beautiful piece.

My band teacher refuses to let my band play it. He says we would just ruin it. I agree with him though.

classical is far from "bad", it's one of, if not The best, forms of music.

That is definitely my favourite era as well. One of my favourite pieces is Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, "From the New World" (Op. 95).
