Classical Music?!
Question:
Classical Music?
Does anyone know of any good classical songs. Please do not say Bethovans 9th, none of the movements. I have heard the 9th to many time, especially the 2nd movement. I like upbeat kind of things, with large orchestras.
Answers:
Upbeat -- you're looking for some "lightening hit the outhouse" kinda stuff, eh?
Man there's lots of stuff out there...
Dvorak's New World Symphony, and his wonderful Slavonic Dances
Prelude to Act III of Lohengren by Richard Wagner
Try Beethoven Symphony #7 -- or #3, or his 5th Piano Concerto
Either La Valse, or Bolero by Maurice Ravel (or both)
Petrouchka by Stravinsky, or Rite of Spring
Shostakovich's 1st and 5th Symphonies
Mozart Jupiter Symhony (#41 in C), or the Prague Symphony (#38)
Tschaikowsky Overture to 1812 -- corny but fun -- or his Violin Concerto, or his 4th Symphony
Prokofiev 3rd Piano Concerto, or his 5th Symphony
Bartok Concerto for Orchestra
Brahms Academic Festival Overture
Brahms Variations on a theme by Haydn
Rachmaninoff -- 3rd Symphony, 2nd or 3rd Piano Concertos, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, or my personal Favorite -- the Symphonic Dances
I can go on for days...
