Classical Favourites

[celinerific]

I was just sitting here whistling the "Minuet in G" by Beethoven and wondered who else fancies classical music. What are your favourite pieces? Who are your favourite composers? What is your classical radio station? Do you play a classical instruments? If so, what is it? If it's possible, share some of your favourite pieces as an audio file for others to listen to. This is the official classical music topic for those who cannot get enough. (Please close any that I've made in the past, thank you.)

i lurve the slow tracks on Maksim's The Piano Player, Moonlight Sonata, Chopin's Revolutionary Etude in C Minor and i cant remember a few of Tchaikovsky's pieces

Moonlight Sonata is a keep. It's a little on the dim side, but it's amazing.
