Classical Music

What do you consider the best piece of CLASSICAL music (such as Beethoven, Chopin, etc) that is not extremely hard to play, and fun? Such as one that works with octaves.

I’m genuinely interested in what society considers “a beautiful piece of classical music”.

    Mozart’s Requiem is one of my favorites. Then Debussy comes to mind. I could go on.

    I like Tchaikovsky’s “Sleeping Beauty Waltz,” but it’s not really a piano piece. “Claire de Lune” is very nice.

    To start, I love classical music.

    My favorite pieces are so numerous, I could never finish exploiting them to you. An amazing piece is Thäis Meditation. If you are a fan of classical music, you will love this. Another great piece is Monti-Czardus because it features the french slide. Also, you will most likely enjoy the Paganini Caprices(its my favorite).

    Serenade to Music by Vaughn Williams.

    But for a person to play, as in piano, I agree with the Claire de Lune.

    Well, I always enjoyed this piece, and it is very easy, by one of the famous composers you have mentioned. I believe its called “Chopsticks (x)” by Chopin.

    Beethoven, 7th Symphony. Antonin Dvorak, 9th Symphony. Bach, Unaccompanied Cello Suites, #1 in particular. Stravinsky, Symphony of Psalms. Gabriel Faure’s Requiem …almost any Requiem for that matter, they tend to be very beautiful and solemn. Bela Bartok, Concerto for Orchestra. As for some more modern stuff (a bit less approachable) George Crumb, “Voices of Black Angels.” John Adams, “On the Transmigration of Souls.”

    I like classical music and it is very difficult to choose any particular piece. I would have to say Bizet’s, Carman and Verdi’s Aida or any Mozart

    You’ll get a ton of different answers (in fact, you already have :) ) if you just ask people what their favorite piece is or what the most beautiful piece is. Your question sounds like you might be trying to pick something to play, however. To help with that, we need to know the instrumentation (solo piano? orchestra?), your playing level (give some examples of what you can play) and more details about what you’re looking for—length, style, etc.

    Generally, however, “beautiful” is an adjective that is most often applied to works from the Romantic period. So Beethoven and Chopin are good bets; you should also consider Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Schubert.

    My personal all-time favorite is the Overture to a Midsummer Night’s dream by Mendelssohn.
