I totally agree with the importance of Handel's Messiah. To add another Handel piece, I will say the Royal Fireworks Music

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is truly a work of art. It remains a very popular piece, and there have been many recordings of it over the years. Beethoven is by far my favorite composer. I enjoy all of his music, and as it speaks to me very deeply, I wanted to leave a few words here. Are...

Beethoven I love everything he ever wrote, but you asked for a favorite. Symphony # 9 Next composer: Haydn

Here's a question for everyone: Of your favorite Beethoven pieces, do you have a favorite interpretation of those pieces? Some compositions, like the Moonlight Sonata or the Fifth Symphony, have been recorded by just about every artist and orchestra in the world. Can you name a composition...

The recording of Beethoven's symphonies by the London Symphony orchestra has been done a few times. Which conductor is leading the orchestra on the box set you have?

Which of his earliest piano sonatas do you find yourself drawn to the most? The 8th and the 14th usually get the most attention, but as I have mentioned before, the 12th is one of my favorites. I also have a fondness for the 1st, the 4th, and the 7th. Having said that, I still love all the rest...

I would be interested in helping anyone who desires to study the Bible more faithfully. Feel free to contact me, and I will be happy to assist you any way I can in regards to Bible study.

I like all of those selections. The Choral Fantasy is amazing and very beautiful. As for the Grosse Fugue, it does take some getting used to. Compared to Beethoven's earlier string quartets, particularly the Op. 18 set, the Grosse Fugue is light years ahead of it style wise. It show the...

Grieg composed a smaller body of work than many composers discussed here, but his music is unique and wonderfully conceived. In addition to Peer Gynt and his Piano Concerto, I also am very fond of his Holberg Suite. If you haven't heard it before, it is worth a listen.

As for my favorite pieces, that is very difficult. Since Beethoven's music means so much to me, and affect me so deeply, I cannot single out one piece above another. However, since I asked the question, I should name a few that I never get tired of listening to. Piano Sonata # 12 Symphony #...

As a followup to the thread on Beethoven's genius, I'd like to now ask others what their favorite Beethoven compositions are and why? I would be very interested to hear everyone's choices.

Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra, a wonderfully written piece

One of my all time favorite pieces of music is Mozart's Requiem...to think he was still composing it while on his deathbed is astounding and makes this piece all the more special to me.

Piano Quartet in A Minor

Some of Bach's most popular pieces are the Brandenburg Concertos. Each one individually is wonderful, but listened to collectively, they are truly an amazing experience. Praise God for the talent He bestowed on Bach.

I will contribute another composition: St Matthew's Passion J.S.Bach was a special composer who dedicated his works to God

The first one that comes to my mind is: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire A wonderful piece.

So much has been written about Beethoven and his music, and I am wondering what others think about his contribution to the world of music. Classical music is by far my favorite kind of music, and Beethoven is at the top of my list of favorite composers. His music speaks to me on a level that...
