Love classical music. Debussy and Ravel are favorites. Afternoon of a Faun, Claire De Lune, Night on Bald Mountain, Pictures at an Exhibition, Dance for a Dead Princess.
With classical music you hear something different every time you listen to a piece.
Favorite instruments are harp, classical guitar, English horn, cello.
Have no idea how to post music here. Sorry about that.

I played the viola growing up, and was in various school orchestras, county orchestra, the local youth symphony, etc. I wouldn't say I choose to listen to classical frequently, but I appreciate it when I do hear it. I've seen symphony concerts in multiple cities, but never here I don't think. I've been meaning to go. I'll have to see when the concerts are and if they're going to be playing anything that interests me.
I don't necessarily have a favorite composer overall.
This is probably my favorite piece. We played it in county orchestra one year when I was in high school

I love classical music. It was my main music growing up because I sang in a choir and played piano. My favourite composers are the Baroque ones - Bach, Vivaldi, Handel. I love the structure and predictability of their music.
I love Vaughn Williams too.
I should add that because I have tinnitus, any musical performance that uses amplifiers is an unpleasant experience for me. So nowadays classical concerts, which aren't amplified, are really the only ones I can go to - or folk music where they're playing an acoustic guitar.

Thanks for opening @Angie. I enjoy classical music and have listened to more in the last 3 months as we use it as masking noise for our puppy to lessen noises outside. And also have started to listen to for falling asleep. Currently we are enjoying Bartok and Beethoven. I really enjoy classical guitar as well. I think one of my favorite musicians is Yo Yo Ma I had the amazing opportunity to see him perform when I was in high school about 5th row--his intensity and passion was unforgettable and his innovative creativity on so many levels ... if this works here's two examples

Cool cafe, have had so little energy over the last couple days so that’s why no reply here til now. Anyway, thanks so much for posting it Angie, hope you’re well too 
Do you like classical?
Yes, I love it, and have since I was a kid.
Do you have a favorite composer?
I love classical music that’s truly “classical” but also from various movie soundtracks as well (Star Wars, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, all those movies have great soundtracks imo) but as for true classical music, some fave composers are Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.
Post a favorite piece of music here!

I don't know much about Classical music. I listen to some of the standard stuff, baroque helps me paint, and sometimes one has to listen to Beethoven for 15 minutes. Mozart of course. I took piano lessons from 6 until 17. I used to like play some of Grieg, Erik Satie, and Chopin. Then the f*ing teacher tried to abuse me and I had to quit to get away from him. Never told my parents why, just quit. I don't have a piano anymore. Sorry, I proabably shouldn't post that in a cafe.
