aaaaargh want D:
Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is breathtaking... goddamn
Agreed. Check out his late quartets, so ahead of his time.
[QUOTE=ThunderGod;34388579]so ahead of his time.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I have no clue about what went on before 1900 so I'll have to take your word for it.
Just give his grosse fugue a listen and you'll understand.

:/
Grosse who?
Also which is the best Mozart Concerto?
There is no "best Mozart concerto", that you have to decide for yourself.
I myself am partial to the Concerto no.20 in D-minor, but that's mostly because I played the orchestral part for an audition once.
On another not, Beethoven's "Grosse Fugue", a very ahead of its time piece:

Mozart's clarinet concerto in A is probably his most famous concerto, the second movement especially. It's one of his sweetest and most mature compositions.
This is probably my favourite beethoven concerto now we're on it. Barenboim is incredible.

Edgard Varèse is... amazing.
Listened to "Ameriques", which is about 25 minutes long last night, blew my brains out.
I've regretfully never given Varese his due credit. I should listen to him more often.
I have his "complete works" which is about 3 hours worth of awesomeness.
Whose got the upper hand now, bitch. :v:
I now see it necessary to defend my classical music listening honor.
I have the complete collection of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos on vinyl!
I feel inferior :(
But back to Varese, I was listening to a few pieces and it's amazing how he experimented with electronic sounds. It's like he did something 40 years ahead of its time. :v:
Oh yeah, Varese was one hell of an innovator. A shame though, he burned a lot of his earlier music because he thought it was too streamlined or something like that.
If you want to hear other composers that experimented with electronic media, then you've got to listen to Stockhausen. In particular [i]Gesange der Junglinge[/i] and [i]Kontakte[/i]

continuing on the theme of less conventional composers, I present Schoenburg.
to balance that out:

Schoenberg is one of my favorite composers, and in my opinion one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century.
The piano concerto is something I will play one day.

Did you hear it of tenacious d's classico? :v:

No, though everyone seems to think I did :S

One of Paganini's 24 Caprices.
tbh Paganini was an interesting character - a black-clad virtuoso on the violin, and there were rumours that he'd sold his soul to the devil (which of course he did nothing to prevent :>)
I feel real calm and not stressed when I listen to classical music while I do Calculus.
It makes me focus.
is ragtime classical

Yeah we can count it. Anything pre-modern era.

A lot of the balance contributes to that, Bach and Mozart are great for that. Beethoven not so good.
