Well this is for all those of you who like some of the old classic stuff (so no rock, metal, hip hop whatsoever `kay) why, and also for recommendations

Personally I like "Canon in D" either in piano or with a guitar cuartet. It changes your mood so drstically, like transmiting a feeling of serenity and melancolly. I also like most of Vivaldi pieces, specially the last part of fall and the first two of winter

so, what about you?

I'd have to say I have a personal favorite in Suiten Fur Violoncello...

Also }Moonlight Sonata for piano

Dance Macarbe is my all time favorite, I also like Ode to Joy.

Being the incredibly violent person that I am I never really expressed much of an intrest in the classical music genre, although I do like the Moonlight Sonata on the piano, mainly because of the somber environment it begets, it gives me goosebumps occasionally.

One of my very favorite pieces is Claire de Lune. But I sure love a lot of classical music.

The term classical is being thrown around pretty loosely here, not that its a big deal. Claire de Lune, for example, is post-Romantic impressionist.

To me, 'classical' specifically refers to that particular era of music which is prior to the Romantic era.

In the musical context, it seems to be commonly used to refer to anything close to the 19th century and prior.

As far as my favourite pre-20th century music goes, I'd definitely say Chopin's works (who for the record is Romantic era).

Admittedly, I'm not really up on classical music, seeing as I am but a young and restless whippersnapper. I do, however, enjoy what little I've heard of Ludwig Van, particularly his piece, 'Moonlight Sonata' ; So dark, and yet it radiates so brilliantly.
