I try to get to "know" every genre of music, and I really do like most of them. I enjoy classical music, but I can't seem to be able to pick out the good pieces out of the massive array of classical scores out there.So i was wondering if anyone knew about some really emotional, or powerful pieces of classical music. To me, that's all that music is-emotion.
Here's an idea of what I like:
Samuel barber - Adagio for Strings - really the kind of thing I am looking for
Pachelbel - Canon - this too
Faure - Pavane
Mussorgsky - Night on Bald Mountain
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony - although it is a bit...too stately. Not really into the chamber music thing. Maybe a more...epic piece.Oh by the way, hello. I'm new to these forums :)
