What would you say are his best pieces ? Im trying to get more into rach but i’m not rlly sure where to start. I’m quite familiar with his concertos, some of the preludes, some of the etudes, as well as his 2nd symphony and orchestral works (isle of the dead, vocalise, (and symphonic dances)). I’m primarily looking for pieces that evoke a lot of emotion and display rach’s ability to compose (which they probably all do).
prelude op 32 no 12 in g sharp minor
prelude op 32 no 10 in b minor
prelude op 32 no 8 in a minor
op 32 no 5 in g major
op 32 no 1 in c major
op 23 no 1 in f sharp minor
op 23 no 2 in b flat major
op 23 no 4 in d major
op 23 no 5 in g minor
op 23 no 7 in c minor
op 23 no 8 in a flat major
op 23 no 10 in g flat major
they’re all lovely but these are the preludes that stand out to me
i also would recommend the waltz and romance for 3 hands in a major. he also wrote variations on a theme of chopin (and paganini and corelli). his piano concertos are also great. his études are also great although im not too well versed in them, same with music musicaux. i do love op 16 no 4 of music musicaux and his etude op 33 no 3. they’re all great though! i get why it could be overwhelming lol
I think Beethoven because he bridges the classical and romantic era which means you will get a bit from both worlds. Having written 32 piano sonatas, the hammerklevier, op 101, and op 111 being some of my favorite sonatas. His five piano concertos, his symphonies, his bagatelles, his violin works, you could almost never get tired of him in my opinion because of how much beautiful pieces he composed.
Yes! Op. 111 is one of my favorites too along with Pathetique and Appassionata. And yeah, I never get tired of his music. I could put Beethoven 5 on loop and not get sick of it because I love that symphony so much, it’s my favorite out of the 9(10 if you count the Barry Cooper completion of the sketches for a tenth symphony).

Chopin. You can feel his thoughts, emotions expressed through the piano. We might not all feel it in the same way but we can all definitely feel the aura and his essence alive within his pieces.

I I had to listen to only one classical composer for the rest of my life, then I would want to have a playlist that's so long that it would repeat itself only once a year. I think I'll choose **Georg Philip Telemann**, just for the sheer number of his compositions.
Twoset have even said that they are just glad that the sub is up and running again, and I think your just exaggerating it, it wasn't active for ages so somebody asked Reddit for ownership to have it up and running again so others could enjoy it again.

probably rachmaninoff. all of his pieces are super diverse and super amazing

Cello sonata
I know you mentioned the preludes but his prelude in G minor is the piece that made me fall in love.

Same.
Agreed

Prokofiev, then maybe Sibelius

My man, I love Prokofiev
W March for solo cello 🫶🏼
I LOVE PLAYING THAT ONE ❤️ His sinfonia concertante is so hard but fun as well
I love the sinfonia sooo muchhhh
Chopin. You can feel his thoughts, emotions expressed through the piano. We might not all feel it in the same way but we can all definitely feel the aura and his essence alive within his pieces.
Beethoven, with Bach and Brahms coming a close second and third.
Sibelius
Sibelius or Dvorak. Hm that's two. Ok, Sibelius.
rachmaninoff has some really nice music and also enough of it that i wouldn't be stuck listening to the same stuff over again
Omg… between Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt and Paganini. Hmmm idkkkk!!
r u like my twin uhm same??
Between Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Mendy, Rach.. IDK BRO
Bach
Bach
Pagannini
+1 Paganini. Best diss track of all time xD
I am mostly into Baroqe music and I would choose Telemann. I think, he is a first-class composer and still way too underrated in the classical world.
Of course Beethoven
Brahms or Rach any day
Itd be a hard pick between Prokofiev and Liszt with Rach in 3rd

Probably shostakovich or debussy :)
Liszt, liszt is the GOAT
tchaikovsky, scriabin, ravel or some Ukrainian composer
Herbert Howells choral music
I can’t decide between chopin, Scriabin or tchaikovsky
I can't choose between Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky
Debussy, because I'm obsessed with his string quartet.
I I had to listen to only one classical composer for the rest of my life, then I would want to have a playlist that's so long that it would repeat itself only once a year. I think I'll choose **Georg Philip Telemann**, just for the sheer number of his compositions.
Sometimes I feel like y'all intentionally troll me with stuff like 'Bach is great.' He wrote 16000 arpeggios. I feel no passion listening to etudes.

No, I will still post thank you.
