Which are your favorite composers??
I can say mine are Tchaikovsky, Bach, Beethoven, Haendel, Vivaldi, Wagner and Chopin.
Pls, share your favorite ones with their respective symphonies.

Please, please, please - don't call Bach (baroque) or Beethoven (romantic) classical. They're two of my favorites, and this is the equivalent of calling Shpongle techno. Even someone with basic knowledge shouldn't say "they both use electronic sounds".
Just because a symphony can play it does not make it classical.

Kaz, AFAIK, Classical Music serves both as umbrella term and epochal classification.

Just as using Techno as an umbrella for all electronic music because it is accepted by most, doesn't make using the name of a subgenre as a term for the greater genre proper - which happens a lot.
Beehtoven is considered one of the few who played a major role in changing the art if the time from classicism to romaticism (and by many - to the first romantic composer... something I'd have to agree with) - even at his most orthodox he was considered prone to improvisation and piano based composition (as opposed to vocal based). While some consider him to be in line with Haydn and Mozart (late classical period composers), Beehtoven is also considered to be in line with Schubert as the most notable early romantics (while Mozart and Haydn are not).
It is a matter of taste where you put the line, but using a double dissonance, being deeply focused on emotion and not only aesthetics, and bending (or sometimes breaking) conventions that defined classical music separate him from the late classicism in which he is often bundled with.
Anyways, enough with this debate.
I guess that Bach is my favorite orchestral composer, and I'd rather become another hero of Pavel's than decide which one of his creations is my favorite (see the links section for more details). Quite a slew of others competing for second place.

I got plenty of Bach's music recently.
Yes, it's a lot dif from the other ones I've mentioned.
More... romantic, in the lack of a better word.
Like, King's dancing type of music.

Well that's if you're talking about the 'classical period', then in a way you are right.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_music
However when most people talk about classical music, they refer to the entire period from when it all started till present day.
Maybe not even true, as most people just mean from 1500 till 1900.

lately I like to hear a lot Gershwin - Rhapsody in blue.
Rimsky-Korsakov, Handel some times and Mozart not cheesy stuff are also my favs.
"The dedication to repetition — the search for nirvana in a single held tone or an endlessly cycling rhythm — is one of electronic music's noblest gestures." |
