Classic pieces you enjoy most or just love

[nobody]

There are music threads here, but I decided that it might be fun to dedicate one to Classical music.

Please post the most memorable to you, or your favorite, or just ones you love..but please stick to one at a time.

Perhaps the most memorable to me and my favorite is Mussorgsky "Night on Bald Mountain"

 

[Runwildboys]

Rival's Bolero. It may not be a serious piece, but I've always liked it, because it's not to stuffy.

 

[dreghorn2]

I'll play.

I almost posted Bugs Bunny's 'Rabbit of Seville', but i'll roll with Strauss.

Where all classical composers ended up.

And now for something COMPLETELY different, I give you Michael Gordon's "Sunshine of Your Love." It shares a title but absolutely nothing else with the Cream song. I really love it, but I'm a crazy person.



How the sound is achieved: the orchestra is split into four pieces, each tuned a quarter-note apart.

There are a lot of them, but this is one of my favorites and the one I had intended to post.
