    I've been looking for this piece for a long time! A true gem of impressionism.

    Today's been a Bach day, for what little music I've listened to. Some Johann Sebastian and Wilhelm Friedemann, but mostly Carl Philipp Emanuel. Nothing like coming back to the alphabet soup every now and again.

    I have been in an orchestra for my age group for 3 years now, and Classical music is what I mainly listen to. My favourite composer would probably have to be Chopin, as I love piano, and I especially love his Nocturne pieces.

    Decided to continue to listen to Vivaldi's pieces. Listening to "Concerto in D minor, RV 540" at the moment.

    This evening I've been listening to some Telemann. First tried getting into his work a few years ago but, dilettante that I was, didn't think he stood out that much from much of the Baroque I'd listened to [which, to be fair, was/is an issue I have in general.] .___. However on this second go, his music is really starting to appeal to me more. Really hope to listen to more of it soon. :slight_smile:

    Sibelius' concerto introduced me to his music and hasn't let go ever since. Quite different from the staple violin repertoire of Beethoven, Mendelssohn or Bruch, yet fascinating.

    I randomly was watching public television this Sunday afternoon, and I saw this really awesome classical music show playing Tchaikovsky's fourth symphony and a modern piece. It's actually part of a series called "All-Star Orchestra", which is designed to showcase an explain classical music of different themes to the masses through both a famous and a modern composer. What a great idea!

    I think I really like movement two, especially the phrase at 1:20 (as aptly identified by some commenter). It's good to see others are also deeply moved by the emotion of this piece.

    It is a nice movement. Haven't listened to Tchaikovsky's symphonies in a while - might actually have to start listening to them again. :slight_smile:

    For most of the week have been revisiting Mahler, perfect music for heartbreak, right? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    In particular, the Ninth symphony and Das Lied von der Erde have especially grown on me...

    My favorite composers are Vivaldi, Bach and Mozart. Vivaldi's music is just so dramatic, passionate and dynamic. Bach's is so sophisticated, complex and three dimensional. And Mozart's is just beautiful because it manages to capture so many emotions and feelings into their purest forms in the form of music. For me the most beautiful song ever written is adagio from Mozart's piano concerto in a no. 23 k488.

    Hmm... funny thing about classical. I've heard St. Matthew's Passion many times and always hated it. recently came across a performance I totally fell in love with... for once it clicked. This has happened to me many times for many different pieces!
