Does anyone like classical music?

Yes I love it, well sometimes, not as much as I thought I did, I guess im not a music person.

He's good, but some of his stuff that I've heard I've found a bit zzzzzzz. His Taras Bulba suite is cool.

Yes, I like it sometimes. Sometimes for a period of time it will be all I listen to.

My most fav composer is Johann Sebastian Bach. However, I also like Mozart, Beethoven, Tschaikovskij (we write it Čajkovskij, so sorry if I transcribed it badly in English)... hell, even Salieri - well there are so many good composers! It´s interesting that the best ones are all German or Austrian.

Shostakovich symphony nr 7 "Leningrad" is one of my favorites.

Yes. Bach, Beethoven, Schubert and Tchaikovsky mainly.

I likes bits and pieces of other composers as well.

This piece in particular is amazing:

I'm a classical music fanatic lol. Mahler/Tchaikovsky are my top two, but I've listened to a pretty good amount of it. I'm on an Arvo Part fix right now!

I grew up watching Fantasia so I have a soft spot for Tchaikovsky. His name is also really fun to say. Tchaikovsky, Tchaikovsky, Tchaikovsky!

I guess, but I don't actively seek it out.

my fave classical pieces-

scheherezade [ and other pieces by rimsky-korsakov]
most anything by ravel and debussy
the waltz from "copelia"
the karl boehm/berlin philharmonic version of "also sprach zarathustra" [featured in the movie "2001- a space odyssee"]
the nutcracker suite [and anything else by tchaikovsky]
greensleeves/what child is this [especially the version performed by willliam wilde zeitler on his "midwinter phantasy" CD, performance of glass armonica]
aquarium [from saint-saens' "carnival of the animals"]
the concerto for organ, timpani and strings in G minor by f. poulenc
the organ symphony by saint saens
the stokowski orchestration of bach's toccata in D minor [featured in the disney classic "fantasia"]
el amor brujo
the jazz version of "pictures at an exhibition"
sanctus from the ravel/durufle requiums

too many others to list here.

Chopin is the sh*t.

I like classical music a lot, especially the works of Beethoven and Chopin. Recently I have also listened to Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody no 2.

I'm like Schroeder. My favorite composer is Beethoven although there's no bust of him on my piano. I adore the expressionist stuff (Satie, Debussy, Ravel, Saint-Saens, etc). I also like a lot of the orchestral scores for films especially by composers like Mario Darianelli, Rachel Portman, John Barry, John Williams, etc. The only stuff that makes me cringe is 20th century serialism and Schoenbergian 12-tone, atonal or polytonal and dissonant stuff. Ugh.

I love classical music. I'm not as knowledgeable about it as I would like to be, though. I'm always meaning to take some time and learn more about the different periods, composers, etc. In addition to the famous composers, I'd really like to learn more about some of the lesser known ones.

I like several different periods, from "early music" up to modern/contemporary composers. I like some things that would be considered pretty traditional as well as some more avant garde stuff I've heard. I especially like the different textures in baroque music. It seems almost tactile in way.

Here are couple of my favorite classical pieces:

Yes, it is the only genre of music I listen to.

My favourite piece of music would have to be the finale of Mozart's 41st Symphony in C Major 'Jupiter'.

i listened to mozart all day yesterday.he had so much raw talent that if he had not died so young he could have been greater then beethoven or haydn
my favorite symphony is schubert no.9 in C "the great"
