I like classical music, so I was wondering what some of your favorite classical pieces are.
Me.
I'm currently practicing Mozart's K381 with my brother. Do you play instruments?
I play cello.
I love Mozart's Requiem. Probably my favorite piece.
I've been amazed for a long time by what Bach and Beethoven were able to do with a single cello and a full orchestra respectively. And the best part is they're just two samples drawn from a much larger population.
As long as it is purely instrumental, I am good with most of it. I do think that there are kinds of music that uplift mankind. Classical is one kind, but not the only genre. Consider if you went to a classical music concert attended by tens of thousands of people. How safe would you feel compared to attending a concert/s of some other genres of music that was also attended by tens of thousands of people?
I love classical music. I especially like music by Two Steps from Hell. Sad that they broke up, though.
I follow Berlin Philharmonic on X.
