Greatest piece of music ever written

[Wag]

Everyone hears the 1st part all the time. This is the third part and if played well (as it is here by the late Glen Gould), it's the most perfect piece of music ever written.

Yep. I was looking for it!

I listened to it but all I could keep picturing was one of those Old Charlie Chaplin silent movies in my head...

Nice piece by Ludwig B. One of my favorite classicals.

um, yeah, I love the first part. but why is this third part so "Flight of the bumble bee" furious sounding? Did he knock back some speed after writing the first part put him to sleep?

 

[Busasweety]

beautiful isn't it.....

Can't pick a particular favorite classic, but Mozart's Symphony No. 25 has to be one of them.

And I don't know the name song but the one that plays when Bugs becomes a barber and a snake charmer.

I agree on the 5th, but the 6th, Pastoral, is my absolute LVB favorite--especially the 2nd and 4th movements.

Nicely done, Lou.

Horowitz's interpretation of Chopin's 1st Ballade ranks right up there.

Also, Hess' rendition of Beethoven's, "Appassionata," is not to be missed.

I bet he could write that with his ears closed

I can listen to anything with Vivaldi actually...

i wish people wrote classical today... i mean other than movie theme songs. yes, there are modern classical writers, but they are not as popular as they were back then - but should be. Classical style composition takes true talent

the 3rd mvmt is absolutely NUTZ! That's my fave as well. I tend to gravitate towards the more technically, melodically and harmonically challenging/demanding music anyways.

Ryan, if you liked that one, you'll enjoy this as well:
