Here's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with Piano Concerto No. 21 - Andante

 
You love starting threads.

Anyway, I know it's cliche these days, but Canon in D Major is my favourite.

 
Did you start this thread with all music written using common practice rules, or purposefully breaking them, in mind, or solely for music written during the Classical period?

Interpretation is freedom, expression existing only in it's elusive presence, to be found only by choice, or by Chance!

A bold choice sir.. but a fine one at that!

Here, a rather sombre piece from Ludwig van Beethoven

 
Chopin in general, but this is by far my favorite...



And yes, I know... Chopin isn't technically "Classical." He's Romantic. Whatever.
 
Rachmaninoff's C sharp minor prelude holds a special fascination for me, as it is a bit of "programmatic music" (for those who care about such things).

The story goes like this. This was written about the plague. The opening section are the church bells and the tranquillity of the funeral as the coffin is lowered into the ground. As the music grows more frenetic, it is because the person in the coffin has been buried alive, while in a coma or something similar. After the fight to get out, the church bells/death wins.
dark shit.
