What is your favorite piece of music? I cannot say for sure what mine is, but it might be Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.

Also not sure about mine... probably Brahms's Academic Festival Overture. Probably says a lot about me.

The piano quartet is COMPLETE!!!


Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.

That's a great piece...good choice. I'd rather listen to that than any of the four symphonies, frankly.

My favourite piece of music...that's impossible to say. It changes daily.

Corelli - Concerto Grosso Op. 10 No. 6 - Allemanda.

It's been that way for years, and I have no idea why. Ah well.

I'll agree with Mr.Graham on this one - It does change daily, It's very hard to say "Here's my Favourite Piece of Music" but for Now, I'll go with Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto . (I'll probably post another favourite tomorrow - which reminds me - Merry Christmas People.

My favorite piece of music, eh? Well, as most of the others have said, it changes daily. Usually it is a Chopin polonaise. They are, in the lack of a better word, orgasmic. At the present moment however, my favorite piece of music is Mozart's 'motet'; exsultate jubilate.

EDIT: It just changed to Evard Grieg's fugue in f minor for string quartet, gah...

EDIT #2: Hehe, now it's Anatoly Liadov's Mazurka op 15, no 1.

Current favorite piece - Aaron Copland's 3rd Symphony - or maybe Jennifer Higdon's Concerto for Orchestra.

My favorite piece of music is the full Firebird Suite by Stravinsky. That hasn't changed in a few years. Before that, I liked Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue best.
