Your favorite classical composers

It's SPOOKY BALL!

...for those of you who've never played Peggle, you have no idea what I'm talking about. But yes, I do enjoy some pieces of Bach as well. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to Classical, having purchased a nice 100 song sampler from just about everybody about six months ago.

It’s gota be Yngwie Malmsteen. ;D
Okay, in all seriousness most of them have been mentioned. How about some Handel?

I really love some of the better known russian composers like Rachmaninov and Mussorgsky. They tell their story so clearly, it's enchanting.
Besides that, I'm a big fan of Vivaldi and Ravel (I feel like Ravel doesn't get enough attention), who have absolutely nothing in common...

The whole point of my post was to get to this: If there's one well known composer who's music I CAN'T enjoy, it's got to be Chopin. For some reason I can't get into his music. Maybe his rythm is different from the other's? I never really bothered looking into this too much because there are so many more classical composers to discover (and I'm not even talking about their interpretations...).

Chopin was the first classical comprosser I was introduced to so I love his music regardless, I love listening to pretty much any classical piece, and how could I forget Rachmaninov, thank you for curing me of my brain fart.

I tend to agree on Chopin though I love some of his pieces like

How could I possibly forget about Rachmaninoff! I absolutely love his Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, 18th variation. Quite a romantic piece. I also enjoy a bit of Liszt.

Chopin is a beast. That guy loves to create songs with odd time signatures like 11/14, or something which puts an even amount of notes against an odd amount. This, combined with the fact that his left hand was so advanced makes him really challenging to play.

His Noctures are amazing, and I especially like his Fantasie Impromptu, Op. 66.

It's funny. I learned about Liszt a couple weeks back when I was looking for the Halo ODST song, which is a gaelic song, Cafe del Mar's "Lament", performed by an Hungarian band. I'm not cultured like the rest of you and go looking for classical music on a whim. Even so, I was pleased by this find.

Great song. Every time I hear it all I can think of is this Looney Tunes episode (sorry, vid is in Spanish)
