Young Maestro Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaltechViolist Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Also not sure about mine... probably Brahms's Academic Festival Overture. Probably says a lot about me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Lee Graham Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Corelli - Concerto Grosso Op. 10 No. 6 - Allemanda. It's been that way for years, and I have no idea why. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad dream eyes Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Arvo Part 2nd symphony, most definitely one of the greatest :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Akhil Gardner Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 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. Akhil G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock_on Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 hi for me it is defintely Charlie Parker's Take Five, I hope you all have a great Christmas as well! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anders Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 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.

Christopher Dunn-Rankin Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Current favorite piece - Aaron Copland's 3rd Symphony - or maybe Jennifer Higdon's Concerto for Orchestra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannhowitzer Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trombtar53 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 The Gabriel Faure Requiem Mass...never in my life have I felt so close to God as when I sang 'Hosana in Excelsis' at the top of my lungs in a Catholic cathedral in the middle of a huge bass section. It moved me in such a magical way, that I can't help but thank God for everything, all the bad all the good...all the things I am jaded about....Linda, I miss you pieces like that are why I compose, why music is me why my passion is to create music....

M_is_D Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Maurice Ravel - "Boléro" for Orchestra (or, as I call it, "chills and goosebumps") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FPSchubertII Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Presently: Schubert- 4th Symphony "Tragic" 2nd movement I think Boléro is inexplicably repetitive and can bore one to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anders Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I have a new top 6. Here shown in no particular order * Beethoven - Piano sonata no 13 * Beethoven - Piano concerto no 5 * Grieg - String quartet in Gmaj * Grieg - String quintet in f minor (unfinished) * Mozart - Symphony no 39 * Prokofiev - Violin concerto no 1 I really recomend the string quartet, passionate stuff.

William K. Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante in E- Flat!! I LOVE that piece. Although, IF you have never heard it before (You all SHOULD have heard it before! *cough* Nico... *cough* :happy: ..... JK) make sure you listen to a good performance of it. When it's played badly it sounds horrible! (Well, it's IMPOSSIBLE for Mozart's music to sound horrible :laugh: ). It'l sound bad. It does change from time to time, though. Sometimes its Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" Overture, and sometimes it's Mozart's "Cosi fan Tutti" Overture and other times it's Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 9 in E- Flat. :D Oh, and also Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22 in E- Flat. -William Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
