Seeing as I know nothing about classical I’ll have to go with that (da da da dum  dad a da dum) Beethoven’s fifth  I think

It is very difficult making a choice, because there are so many symphonies that could go in that position.  Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony is a favourite - the only problem is that despite its name, like most of the choices above  it's not actually a symphony!  I love Honegger's Second Symphony for Strings.  Of course, Beethoven's Fifth (the ta-ta-ta dum one above).  Nielsen, Symphonia Espansiva (the 3rd).  Charles Ives' Third.  Mahler's Sixth and Ninth.  I could go on forever, so I'd better shut up.  :)

Stravinski or Shostakovich. Anything hard, driving, with an element of panic!

I agree with Mozart and I'd add Beethoven. Both can be purchased in a multi-volume pack. I have all 9 of Beethoven's symphonies on CD's in one collection. These two would be a good beginning for your collection. Good luck and good listening!!\n\nChow!!

Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No.3 - saddest piece of music I have ever heard...as well as the most beautiful.\n\nCheer up - life's too short.

Some classical music have an extra ordinary effect on me. I have to stop what I'm doing and listen to it.  I feel it  filling up my body it's so beauty.  I don't know why music has that effect on humans.  There must be a scientific reason.

Awesome piece & a lot of fun to play!\n\nIf you are looking for the sheet music, you can find it here by itself:\nhttp://www.sharmusic.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=1228+005&Cat=\n\nOr there are a lot of collection books that contain it.  I have the Fritz Kreisler collection (http://www.sharmusic.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=1937+105&Cat=) which has Praeludium & Allegro plus a lot of other great pieces.  I have also seen it in one of the advanced Suzuki method books.  It is a very popular piece so you could probably find it by flipping through some violin collection books at a local music store.\n\nIf you are looking for a recording, I especially like the ones done by Midori and Itzhak Perlman.  They each interpret it in completely different ways but I love them both.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000028N1\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002RQK

My favorite type to listen to is rock - The Doors, Pink Floyd, Live, Bush, Incubus.... because the sad ones speak to my pain, and the happier ones give me energy and make me drive too fast, and the philosophical ones make me think. However, I play piano, and my favorite genre to play is classical because I can think of the feelings - don't need words - and translate them to sound with my hands. Doesn't matter if anyone else "gets" what I'm expressing, because I do.\n\n If I were to play songs with words, it would limit the range of things I'd be able to think about and express. But when listening, I like to know what the composer is thinking and be able to identify.
