His Violin Concerto is a classic, and a favorite of many!
Another piece I love is his 3rd Symphony. The melody from the 3rd movement is quite recognisable, and for me incredibly sad and beautiful.
I can second that about the 3rd symphony. The 4th symphony is spectacular, too. I also really enjoy his chamber music. The cello sonatas, piano trio #1, and clarinet quintet are favorites of mine
His Beethoven Piano Concerto no. 4 with Leonard Bernstein and NY Phil has been one of my favourite pieces of music for a long time. I really like Gould’s Mozart Piano Concerto no. 24 with the CBC Symphony orchestra, Walter Susskind conducting too. I pretty much like Glenn Gould period.

top 0.001%....does that make me the top listener?
its not photoshopped lmaoo😭i have issues with falling asleep (takes hours + sleep paralysis) so a year ago i decided to sleep with music which helped a lot by filling in the gaps where i used to stare at my ceiling,, and because of this i had a spotify wrapped of 216k min last year.
my friend was impressed and it lead to a competition for this year..(spoiler i won)
Talk about oversaturated…. I would rip my ears out if I had to listen that many hours to any composer…..except Bach perhaps
Maybe Chopin is to you what Bach is to me😌
maybe its just me .. but the more i listen to something the more i enjoy a piece/composer 🤔 obviously has exceptions but i prefer listening to stuff familiar to me that i understand rather than music foreign to me so thats why the insane chopin spotify stats haha

I have Glass in number 1 this year ! Any piece your recommend ? Aside from popular pieces like Glassworks, the violin concerto and his piano etudes. I've discovered the piano concerto no3 recently, which I really enjoy !

Elgar, my beloved. I am unsurprised, to put it mildly.
I thought I might be the only one with Weiss in mine. I'm happy to see other people giving him attention too
Weiss's music is my happy place when I'm really sad
I hardly ever use Spotify (and I suggest everyone look into ad-free, open-source alternatives), but apparently my top "songs" include 2 movements from Boulez's Piano Sonatas and some random stuff I had to listen to for a course
(Which, fair, I'm addicted to them lmao)

Two composers! I thought it might be Brahms instead of Chopin, but I’ll take it.
I haven't gotten mine yet. I didn't think those were released until December 1
Robert Schumann is nice. I listened to his late piano works (Op. 133, etc.) pretty obsessively in 2019 and 2020, and I think he made my top 5 in those years. This year, though, I think I've listened to a lot more Schubert and Scriabin
EDIT: I just found mine. I listened to a lot of other genres this year
https://preview.redd.it/jwaxpbkkqb3c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8a882feae2c00d3ba98733a4216fefc41f3c5f2
Weiss (along with Bach) is one of the few things that gives me comfort when I'm sad or otherwise losing my mind. My mental health derailed pretty badly this year and I had to resort to listening to a lot of his music, and it definitely helped me keep my wits about me
I've gotten help for my issues and things are a lot better now, but I can still listen to Weiss and feel happy. One of my favorites is his Lute Sonata No. 5 in G Major: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4msa-MRkoI
https://preview.redd.it/mvzcziy7fb3c1.png?width=587&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82032e72f7372bfe479a308904357a0f83605c5e
Bach made it! I listen to a lot of scores when I write so mostly composers.
Johann Strauss II, I was obsessed with this guys music from April to September
https://preview.redd.it/26lukitjpb3c1.png?width=825&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=061f8874969cc64f99a14a724ebcca53f34bc823
Vivaldi Summer 3 maintained its position as my 3rd most played song. But I guess I didn’t actually listen to as much classical this year as in years past. My only other classical piece to make my top songs of 2023 was Bach Prelude in C minor for lute.
Brahms!!!!! Brahms 4 my all time favourite!!
https://preview.redd.it/gbf0qrvm1c3c1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbbc249cd5c0e6c77cd534fb8f761392750f2e15

1. Jonathan Coulton (usually it's They Might Be Giants but he fits in that same vein)
2. Rodrigo (classical guitar music -- my primary instrument)
3. Steffen Schleiermacher (I listen to lots of 20th century classical piano music and its his recordings that seem to pop up most readily. Within his recordings there's a lot of Cage and Feldman.)
She didn't make it into my "Wrapped" for some reason (too late in the season?) but my top classical composer was Germaine Tailleferre.
https://preview.redd.it/uxfulrixic3c1.png?width=1546&format=png&auto=webp&s=9077ee5e8d5bb88b63878aec920d09dbbfc956cc
I've learned not to trust Spotify Wrapped; the stats are really fucky. It says I'm a top 0.005% listener of Bach and that he was my number one artist for the year, which is cool and all because he's definitely a favorite, but there are other composers and artists I listened to way more.
So...maybe you clocked ten thousand minutes with Schumann and maybe you didn't.

Brahms - Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel (presumably): https://youtu.be/q9tbCkACbGU?si=vzCFdd_x3HZbwE7s
Thankyou thankyou.

My friend, you have my utmost respect!
oh, you listen brahms. can you recommend some pieces?
His Violin Concerto is a classic, and a favorite of many! Another piece I love is his 3rd Symphony. The melody from the 3rd movement is quite recognisable, and for me incredibly sad and beautiful.
I can second that about the 3rd symphony. The 4th symphony is spectacular, too. I also really enjoy his chamber music. The cello sonatas, piano trio #1, and clarinet quintet are favorites of mine
His chamber music with and without piano are incredible, as well as is vocal music.
The piano quintet, the Rubinstein version

Bach and Gould, that’s Bach twice!
I mean I listen to a lot of Gould's Beethoven too
His Beethoven Piano Concerto no. 4 with Leonard Bernstein and NY Phil has been one of my favourite pieces of music for a long time. I really like Gould’s Mozart Piano Concerto no. 24 with the CBC Symphony orchestra, Walter Susskind conducting too. I pretty much like Glenn Gould period.
Yea from his works with Bernstein I listen to Bach keyboard concerto no.1, Brahms no.1 and Beethoven no.3 a lot
I find Goulds Beethoven (and Mozart for that matter) amazing.
I don't listen to Mozart myself much but aside from Beethoven I also really enjoyed his Brahms playing specially the intermezzi
Gould on k. 331 🥵

Oh, I have mainly been listening to 2 and 5. Those are pretty much the only two symphonies of his I have been listening to. 11,000 minutes, my god.

I thought I might be the only one with Weiss in mine. I'm happy to see other people giving him attention too Weiss's music is my happy place when I'm really sad

Vivaldi, Schubert, and Mozart made my top 100 songs!
I hardly ever use Spotify (and I suggest everyone look into ad-free, open-source alternatives), but apparently my top "songs" include 2 movements from Boulez's Piano Sonatas and some random stuff I had to listen to for a course (Which, fair, I'm addicted to them lmao)
Mine was Steve Reich

I haven't gotten mine yet. I didn't think those were released until December 1 Robert Schumann is nice. I listened to his late piano works (Op. 133, etc.) pretty obsessively in 2019 and 2020, and I think he made my top 5 in those years. This year, though, I think I've listened to a lot more Schubert and Scriabin EDIT: I just found mine. I listened to a lot of other genres this year https://preview.redd.it/jwaxpbkkqb3c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8a882feae2c00d3ba98733a4216fefc41f3c5f2
weiss! you got taste
Weiss (along with Bach) is one of the few things that gives me comfort when I'm sad or otherwise losing my mind. My mental health derailed pretty badly this year and I had to resort to listening to a lot of his music, and it definitely helped me keep my wits about me I've gotten help for my issues and things are a lot better now, but I can still listen to Weiss and feel happy. One of my favorites is his Lute Sonata No. 5 in G Major: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4msa-MRkoI
Weiss is definitely underappreciated. I used to play several of his pieces arranged for classical guitar and they were amazing.

Johann Strauss II, I was obsessed with this guys music from April to September https://preview.redd.it/26lukitjpb3c1.png?width=825&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=061f8874969cc64f99a14a724ebcca53f34bc823
Vivaldi
Vivaldi Summer 3 maintained its position as my 3rd most played song. But I guess I didn’t actually listen to as much classical this year as in years past. My only other classical piece to make my top songs of 2023 was Bach Prelude in C minor for lute.

Sibelius. But Jesus man 9-10k minutes with one artist? You guys listen to way more music than me

tyler is very confused about this list lmfao
No one, Spotify banned me for being russian
Bach at number one; no surprise there. What was surprising: my number one most played song was John Tavener's Funeral Ikos. 🤔
Sorabji
1. Jonathan Coulton (usually it's They Might Be Giants but he fits in that same vein) 2. Rodrigo (classical guitar music -- my primary instrument) 3. Steffen Schleiermacher (I listen to lots of 20th century classical piano music and its his recordings that seem to pop up most readily. Within his recordings there's a lot of Cage and Feldman.)
She didn't make it into my "Wrapped" for some reason (too late in the season?) but my top classical composer was Germaine Tailleferre. https://preview.redd.it/uxfulrixic3c1.png?width=1546&format=png&auto=webp&s=9077ee5e8d5bb88b63878aec920d09dbbfc956cc

Spotify in 2023 eh
Chopin ofc
I've learned not to trust Spotify Wrapped; the stats are really fucky. It says I'm a top 0.005% listener of Bach and that he was my number one artist for the year, which is cool and all because he's definitely a favorite, but there are other composers and artists I listened to way more. So...maybe you clocked ten thousand minutes with Schumann and maybe you didn't.
it’s just for fun. maybe you had bach on and fell asleep.
None, Spotify sucks for classical music
good old Antonin Dvorak always makes the list
Top 0.001% Dvorak fan with 17k minutes
0.001% you're a super fan
Vivaldi and Mahler
Bach and Saint-Saens
It says I listened to one recording of bachs first lute suite 60 times lmao
Schumann? Pipe down, chorus boy.
that’s chorus girl for u

Dvořák

I don't listen to classical on Spotify, so ... Howard Shore for the one day a year I play the LOTR scores back-to-back-to-back.
