[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

This one right here, that I'm playing, is perhaps one of the best piano pieces I've ever learned

 

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, from Claude Debussy:

I don't listen to classic often, but my favorites are Dance of the Swans, and Waltz No.2 by Dmitri Shostakovich... and I enjoy hearing of about everything.

I used to listen to the old Barbie movies with my sister when I was younger  (Swan Lake, for exemple). Not only the movies were great, but also the music.

*stumbles into Classical music thread*

 

*Sees people posting Vivaldi and Handel*

 

Anyway, snobbery aside, here's some obligatory Beethoven:

Hello everyone! I love classical music/ instrumental music a lot, is there anypony else that enjoys it like I do? Also, I have been thinking what a violin and a chello combined to a My Little Pony tune would sound like, possibly sound beautifuly inspirational? In any case, a score composed from the classical instruments to MLP would be neat, what do you think?

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

Yes, I do.

Classical music is something I love very dearly, the relaxation, tranquility, and score on those classic tunes are always a pleasure to hear no matter what mood am I in.

 

McDonalds and Starbucks plays classical music all the time where I live, so I always stop there to take a breather and think over some stuff in my life to reflect for the better. 

[Scootalove 10,689]

I like listening to classical music a lot, where it helps me relax and just reflect on my life.

[NomDeSpite 452]

I listen to baroque, classical and romantic composers on occasion. I'd like to continue exploring. Handel's "Messiah" was in my house growing up during Christmastime. I am interested in: Bach, Palestrina, Liszt, Dvorak and Tchaikovsky especially.

 

Also, while I'm not introducing anyone to something they've never heard, Edvard Grieg's "Morning From Peer Gynt" is loveliness incomparable. You can listen to it in the dead of night in January and the sun's saffron rays will still shine upon you.

 

[King Sejong 859]

   I listen and play Baroque and Classical music, I can play the clarinet, oboe and alto recorder, I have been in an orchestra since I was nine, so I have a great appreciation of music. Ludwig von Beethoven was the first composer I listen to, then I began to listen to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart before I discovered other composers, some of my favourites are Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Pachelbel, George Frederick Handel, Henry Pucell and Antonio Vivaldi, for songs I love Handel's Sarabande fourth movement keyboard suite in D minor, also is featured in my favourite movie Stanley Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon", it is simply epic and powerful to listen too.        

[CT-1138 3,182]

I love Classical! One of the most underrated genres of music.

[Envy 6,156]

Well, the show has at least one song already sung with completely orchestral accompaniment.

 

 

But I don't really know what exactly you're asking for, I guess?

 

Anyway, of course I love classical music!

 

[Guest]

Hah, Bugsy Malone had some classical scores.

 

[Shanks 10,816]

Yes, I have listened to it for a long time and I like it more and more as they years go on. I have really gotten to like Bach because his innovations create a bridge that lead up to Mozart and Beethoven during the Baroque era which is the precursor to the classical era. Deciding between Beethoven and Mozart was nearly impossible for all these years but I have to give it to Mozart for two reasons, he is a master of Opera which is one of my favorite forms of music and because a lot of his songs especially late in his life speak to me on a deeply personal level. Beethoven is still awesome though, no doubt about it. I also grew up watching Fantasia which got me interested in Modest Murssorgsky who was a contemporary of the romantic period which came after Mozart and Beethoven of Frederic Chopin who wrote some truly gorgeous piano pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Omega Centauri 317]

Yes. It's my second favorite genre next to heavy metal

 

Vivaldi is my favorite composer.

[Guest]

Yes. Yes, I do listen to classical.

 

[Jonny Music 3,401]

I happen to like Handel's classical music. Especially his The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba piece. The orchestrated version of the pieces are nice, however, I like the organ versions slightly more. Here are two good examples:

 

 

 

 

 

And also, here is one of my YouTube videos on The Sunset Strings's take on Ode To Joy by Beethoven:

 

 

 

I hope you like it.

I've only just started listening to classical music, so the only thing I've been listening to is Mozart's Requiem Mass in D minor. And boy is it good

[An Unknown Pony. 370]

Yeah,Classical music,One of the best music genre in the world

Bach is really good at creating musical masterpieces..

[Envy 6,156]

If you have Spotify, I suggest listening to this.

 

Adam Carse – 2 Sketches: A Northern Song

 

I heard this on the radio, actually. It's a pretty piece altogether, but don't get 'bored' with the beginning, because it really picks up on a couple of occasions, and when it does it is IMO really beautiful, beautiful like French Impressionism. Although I don't know if this composer or piece is as I've never heard of them before. Lol.

 

Otherwise, here's a cute little piece for my most favoritist instruments ever (minus only saxophone)!

Classical veterans should know about this.

 

[Drunk Cheerilee 130]

Bump for J.S. Bach's Fantasia & Fugue in G Minor, BWV 542 - played by Karl Richter: 

 

 

And since my favorite symphony, Beethoven's 9th, has already been posted, I'll go ahead and post

my second favorite, Bruckner's 7th:

 

 

 

[colt_following 169]

Mozart's Horn Concerto in D - I found out about this one through while playing the racing MMO Crew, and then found out a guy gave it to me on CD at a yard sale last summer 

 

[Suukorak 354]

In addition to those classic composers (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, Mendelssohn), I'm partial to some Rossini.

Enjoy!

[Little Red 1,529]

I'm a cellist, and learning harp, and I approve of this thread! XD

I am part of a youth symphony, and we recently played Slavischer's March by Tchaikovsky... oh man! Such a good piece!

Plus, good cello part.
