Mines is Canon in D and Danse Macabre

Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 in C, the first movement

Edit: Aww, I just realized that I haven't listened to it in months.

I haven't heard much classical but latly I have had to find a violin solo so lets see.... I think my favorite is Chaconne for violin by J.S Bach, (there is an awesome video of Mr. Heifetz playing it on youtube) and I also like Sarabande in G minor that I am currently learning by Bohm.

Liszt - Transcedental Etude No. 4 in D Minor 'Mazeppa'

toss up between Ravel Gaspard de la Nuit, Scriabin Vers la Flamme and the Rach 3 concerto

Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2 !

I even love that Tom & Jerry chapter named "The cat concerto" in which this composition is played by Tom. :) hehe

Whitacre's Lux Aurumqe - any arrangement.

L'Apres Midi d'Un Faune, Sacre de Printemps, Nuages and Ravel's Rapsodie espagnole.

Nuages meaning the Debussy Nocturne?

i love the Nocturnes- Sirenes is my favourite.

I particularly enjoy Fetes. But you misse La Mer!

ive only heard the piano arrangement of La Mer

Nuages meaning the Debussy Nocturne?



Yup.

The Four Seasons concerti-Vivaldi

Trying to teach myself to play them. So pretty...

Sarabande, eh?
I played that piece in a quartet a few years back, and I really liked it. Heh.
I don't even remember how it sounds like, though I still have the sheet music. x3

I personally really like Pavane and Canon in D. I think Pavane's too easy (the arrangement I have), but Canon in D isn't exactly sight-reading material for me. A little out of my range unless I practice; I play the clarinet. That's four sharps. I'm just too busy to practice it.

Mozart's: Symphony#40 (first movement)

Franz Liszt - La Campanella
Gets me every time.

I haven't listened to classical music all that much, but I'm rather fond of Chopin's Fantaisie Impromptu. Unfortunately, I'm completely unable to play it. =[


Whitacre's Lux Aurumqe - any arrangement.

Classical? Hmm. Well, that piece rocks. Period. I prefer the band and choral versions over the orchestral one, which was a bit shrill. Or maybe it was just the version I heard. ;__;

Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus", from 'The Messiah'.

Rachmaninoff -- Piano Concerto No. 2; I. Moderato

This piece has a giant influence on myself, and really paints a great picture of who I am as a person. Mainly, it's the view from other people and then the truth about myself when interpreted correctly. Beautiful, it strikes into my soul so vividily. :cry:

Eveveryone should listen to this piece!!

I like L'Inverno by Vivaldi.

Rachmaninoff - piano concerto No.2 (first movement)
Schubert - Piano Sonata in A, D 845
Chopin - Etude Op.10 No.4
Stravinsky - Petrouchka (first movement)

I'm totally adding on Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, first movement. This is definitely my all-time favorite now! I've been listening to it constantly lately.

the obvious ones from my sig
Liszt- Dante Sonata/ B min Sonata
Scriabin- Vers la Flamme
Rachmaninoff- 3rd Piano Concerto

and also

i have a really nice and original recording of Ondine by a Canadian pianist- i will send it when i can locate it

*doesnt put CDs back in cases when finished with them*

oooh another one to my list= Ravel's Toccata- cant wait till after diploma so i can learn it!!

chopin - etude Op. 25, No. 11 "Winterwind" (amazing when performed properly, breathtaking)
chopin - ballade op. 23 in G minor (emotional, very personal piece for me)
beethoven - Sonata No. 23 "Appassionata". (intense emotional ride, favorite out of the four. Attempted to learn it but still quite sucky at it, great piece for any anger outlet)
Rachmaninoff - 2nd concerto 1st movement (one of few orchestral pieces which can grasp my full attention for ten minutes, love the melodies)

Mines is Canon in D and Danse MacabreI love Danse Macabre too :)


Chopin - Etude Op.10 No.4I've played this piece ! I like too, but I prefer the first Ballade...


chopin - etude Op. 25, No. 11 "Winterwind" (amazing when performed properly, breathtaking)I think I know it. When you hear it you can feel the winter wind xD...


chopin - ballade op. 23 in G minor (emotional, very personal piece for me)I can play it too. It's my favorite piece.

So, if I sum up, my favorite pieces are :
1) Chopin - Ballade n°1 Op. 23 (G minor)
2) Liszt - Tarantella, Venezia e Napoli
3) Ravel - Sonatine and Ravel
4) Toccata from Le Tombeau de Couperin
5) Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre

So, if I sum up, my favorite pieces are :

2) Liszt - Tarantella, Venezia e Napoli
3) Ravel - Sonatine and Ravel
4) Toccata from Le Tombeau de Couperin
5) Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre

you have a good taste =D

have you ever come across the Liszt transcription of Danse Macabre?

Thanks :)
I just printed the last chords :D
But obviously, that's not as beautiful as the orchestra version ^^

The infernal dance from Stravinsky's Firebird suite and Danse Macabre.

SB's attempt at making a list version 1.0(I might make more versions later in case I leave anything out/discover new pieces I like):

"Le Quattro Stagione" - A. Vivaldi (I especially like La Primavera mvt. 1, L'estate mvts. 1 and 3, and L'inverno mvts. 1 and 3 (yay for the complicated violin solos!))
"Revolutionary Etude op.10 no. 12" - F. Chopin (impossible to play)
"Concerto for Two Violins" - J.S. Bach (Fellow Suzuki violin students should be able to recognize this one...)

...yes, that's all I can think of right now...
