Chopin's Prelude in D aka Raindrops It is the piece that inspired me to try to learn to play piano."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."
"They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."
"I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

I'll have to listen. Call me blasphemous, but I've never been a chopin fan. Prelude in C# minor by rachmaninov is more my style for piano.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View Post"Don't expect I'll see you 'till after the race"

Starting about 1:37 is where it really stirs me."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

Another set of pieces I like, although not necessarily "classical", is the score for the LOTR, especially for The Fellowship of the Rings."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

sheesh I hate to agree with anybody else, but I'm quite fond of this as well. As long as it isn't being played by that ham-fisted Emmanuel Ax. I prefer the version played by Rachmaninoff himself, on piano rolls.Originally posted by doctorcoug View Post
My favorite Rach piece, though, is Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.
I also like Bach's Mass in B Minor. Brings me to tears every time.Comment

Funny coincidence--the only finals of a piano competition that I ever reached, I played the Rachmaninoff Prelude and a Gershwin Prelude, and was beaten by a girl who played this Chopin.
My favorite is Liszt's Totentanz.Last edited by ERCougar; 06-28-2009, 01:38 PM.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

As a child I grew up loving Beethoven. His emotive, populist style was great for a little kid to listen to and was an easy introduction to classical music.
Chopin's Nocturne (Op. 9 #2) is one I really like right now. It always reminds me of The Pianist, which is a great movie.Comment

1812 overture, Tchaikovsky. Best percussion section ever.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

Outside of piano, I have to go with Beethoven too. The second movement of the Eroica (hehehehe) symphony is hauntingly beautiful.Originally posted by I.J. Reilly View Post

as for symphony, I go with Mahler's 3rd. The deutchegrammaphone recording is awesome.Originally posted by ERCougar View Post
I'm also a fan of Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt, but I might be biased due to my heritage."Don't expect I'll see you 'till after the race"

The transition in and out of the cadenza (starts about 7:45 of the first clip and goes until about 9:30) is amazing. I can't think of a better example of how cadenzas should be done.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah
