Hmmm...

Scruffy just typed in Tchaikovsky on Pandora and plays it in the background when he studies.

I'm a fan of Beethoven's 8th Symphony along with Moonlight Sonata and Für Elise.

Also Bach's Cello Suite No.1 and Mozart's Symphony No. 40.

I'm sure some people just googled for random titles or composers to drop, but most of these aren't obscure. You've heard them. They're just not nearly as commonly recognized by name as they are by sound.

Yep.

Try going through a few of those previews. Everyone should be able to recognize a favorite from that list of 100 classical songs.

I love it. Right now I'm obsessively listening to Tristan und Isolde. I love pretty much anything by Wagner and Mahler; pretty much anything Romantic too

Beethoven's 9th fifth movement is the single greatest piece of music ever written. End of debate.

Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto. It should be a live one because every audience will react to completion of the 3rd movement with an outpouring of joy.

Mozart's Oboe & Clarinet concertos.

Not able to pick one piece as a favorite, but if Mascagni's Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana doesn't move you, you are truly soulless. Mozart's revenge aria from the Magic Flute is ridiculous when performed properly, and Salieri composed great music as well.
