Does anyone else here listen to classical music? Come on...admit it.
I just love classical music...
(Note: you can also discuss Baroque and other musical movements around that time period.)
Oh, this is random, but I saw this t-shirt on cafepress that says: I went Chopin But forgot my Liszt I guess I'll go Bach later.

I love classical music. It helps me think... My absolute favorite piece is Canon by Pachelbel. It's beautiful. Other favorites include Minuet by Bach and Lacrimosa by Mozart. And that t-shirt quote is funny. ;D

Yay, I'm not crazy! ;D I, too love classical music. I think my favorite piece would have to be Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony. His Violin Concerto is really good, too; I wake up to it every morning. I think my favorite piano pieces are Chopin's Opus 9 Nocturnes. I've grown quite fond of the first of the set, in particular, having worked on re-engraving the original sheet music with Lilypond for about a year (and only being done with a page plus a couple lines). Lilypond's goal is to recreate classical music engraving on a computer. My goal for Chopin's first Op. 9 Nocturne is to make it look as much like the original as I can. Unfortunately, I lost the original pdf file, and Lilypond's updates have screwed up the formatting, so I can't finish it.

I listen to it, but unfortunately I don't know the names of many pieces. The 1812 Overture, Fur (with an umlaut, note it!) Elise, Mozart's 40th Symphony, and Beethoven's 5th and either 8th or 9th (I'm talking about the Ode to Joy) are about the only ones I can identify. (Oh, and Eine Klein Nachtmusik) But I do like classical music. (On the topic of shirts, I mentioned this on Ankh's site, but I and my biology teacher had the idea the other day for an "ARISTOTLE" t-shirt)
It's actually the only music that's likely to make me dance. I'd like to do waltzes and minuets and polonaises and other old dances like that (although 1-I don't know how, exactly 2-I'm slightly clumsy 3-I don't know anyone that would dance with me). I don't care for much modern dancing.
