If you had to choose one classical piece that is 'balls 2 da wall', what would it be? I'm talkin bout those joints that make you feel like a god when you listen to em, the **** that plays in the background when **** is about to go down.

So what is it? Links if you can muster it up.

Do modern classical pieces count? If so:

Lux Aeterna.

Whatever this is (it's just played in the intro).

The Presto movement of Vivaldi's Summer is awesome.

The third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is awesome, too. Totally not what you're expecting when all you've heard is that slow first movement.

Is and always will be Symphony No. 9 in E Minor (From the New World) by Antonín Dvořák for me.

Though some may prefer Epica's cover in the badass department.

I don't think I know enough pieces to say this is the most, but Chopin's Etude op25 no.11(also known as Winter Wind) is pretty badass.

Dies Irae from Verdi's requiem. The first movement of Brahms's first symphony would also fit the bill, as would parts of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.

I thought that was pretty badass. I'm no expert, that much is clear from anyone who has seen my past attempts at discussing classical music, but I could hear fleeting parts of some of Beethoven's piano sonatas in that, and it seemed like a good set of variations on the theme, AND it was improvised.

My contribution + a weakass excuse for an applause.
