Who's your favorite classical composer?

[psteng19]

I should say anything pre-modern era, which is before 1900 I think?

Chopin's waltz and etude are amazing


The best piece ever - MIDI for Etude Op. 10 No. 12 "Revolutionary" <-- click to listen to it damnit!
Just got the sheet music and trying to teach myself now. Probably take a couple of weeks to master it.

Tchaikovsky. The fact that I can spell his name automatically makes me a fan!

I love Ravel, too.

 

[amcdonald]

definitely JS Bach

 

[Stealth1024]

I like a lot of Chopin's pieces, Rachmininoff [sic] is another one of my favorite...

It's Revolutionary, not Evolutionary. His etudes are nice, but ballades and polonaises are more poignant

and if ya think you can master that piece in two weeks, you're either nuts or the second coming of Van Cliburn

Well, my fav classical is WAMozart, Baroque is Bach, Romantic Tchaikovsky, Modern Classical Gershwin.

 

[ElFenix]

franz liszt

I don't know much about classical music.
I do enjoy it on occasion but usually don't know who I am listening to.

I have always loved the Nutcracker though.
So I guess I'd say Tchaikovsky.

Yeah, you're probably right.
When I used to take lessons, it used to take 1 month to master/memorize pieces of similar difficulty.
When I said a couple of weeks, it meant 3-4 weeks

Dvorak.

 

[BigSmooth]

Can't pick a single composer, but this is one of my favorite pieces:
Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 in C Minor (Path&eacute;tique) Op. 13: Adagio Cantabile (Mvt. 2)
Midi files really don't do this stuff justice, though.

Also, you've got to hear Leo Kottke's classical guitar rendition of Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring". Absolutely gorgeous.
