Classical Music
Are there any other classical junkies out there? If so, here's a thread for you! To give something to talk about, my favorite composition is the Shostakovich Violin Concerto, movement 4.
Edit: Other interesting pieces:
- Tzigane, by Ravel.
- Zigunerweisen, by Sarasate.
- Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, mvt 1.
- Sibelius Violin Concerto, movement 1&3.
- Scherzo Tarantella, by Weinawski

A classical music thread? Awesome! :D
Probably two of my favorite pieces are Claude Debussy's 'Clair de Lune' and Zsigmond Szathmáry's 'Volumina'.
'Clair de Lune' is so peaceful and soothing. I used to listen to it when I was younger before going to bed.
'Volumina' I first heard randomly on the radio quite recently, but I absolutely loved how dissonant and frenzied it was.
I'll need to give Shostakovich's violin concerto a listen sometime soon I don't think I've ever heard it.
Beethoven's 7th symphony, 2nd movement.
Big fan of Rachmaninoff Piano concertos, all o' them.
Also, there's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSfocNxI0
Just amazing. Will check out this Shostakovich you mention, but it looks like he had two. Which one did you mean @Masantonio ?

No.1, op. 99

Finally went back and followed your link, and that looks hard as hell. Sounds quite nice though.
Just got around listening to that Shostakovich. A bit too playful for me... though I gotta say it would fit a 5 minute Nurse chase :D
Omg Skarkio, sorry, but it's garbage on top of garbage on top of more garbage, except Moonlight Sonata I guess.
Für Elise... god it may even be decent, but the number of doorbells, music toys and other gadgets playing it in the most annoying beepy tone made me hate it. It looks like the guys down in Yiwu only know this single piece of classical music.
I always had a soft spot for:
Fantasie Impromptu Op 66 -Chopin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75x6DncZDgI
Carol of the bells -Mykola Leontovych https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlY6_z01sfs
1812 overture (finale) -Tchaikovsky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2W1Wi2U9sQ
