Classical music enthusiasts! Which song(s) do you hate?

[sakabatou]

String Quintet in E major Op. 13 No. 5 Minuet grinds my nerves. How about you?

[Dinger]

1. Dissonance Of Schoenberg Makes Me Il

Can't Help It.

P.S. One of my favorites is Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto, "The Emporor"

[Blue-Jay]

2. Never like Alban Berg. Esp "Lulu".

Don't like the Mozart clarinet concerto either. Very trite.

[LiviaOlivia]

3. William Tell Overture

by Rossini.

over used to a nauseating extent in everything from cartoons to commercials.

[EstimatedProphet]

4. Some Copeland

"Hoedown" comes to mind right now.

[Blue-Jay]

5. Yeah. He's a little..um...earthy for me.

edit: After thinking about for a minute, I have to admit that Copeland is a hell of a lot of fun perform. Easy, but robust.

[EstimatedProphet]

6. And frankly, some I like a lot

Fanfare for the Common Man is a fave, for example.

[sakabatou]

7. However the Howdown on Who's Line is catchy

[Arkham House]

8. Philip Glass

Einstein can stay stranded on the beach forever for all I care...

[sakabatou]

9. "C'mon people, please stay!

They're going to play an aharmonic piece by Phillp Glass!"
:: Aduience runs out ::

[Arkham House]

10. LOL

[trackfan]

11. Erwartung (sp) by Schönberg

Hands down, the worst (sounding) piece of music ever written.

[hholli11]

12. just about anything from bartok nt

[Gato Moteado]

13. i love bartok's music

some of it sounds weird to our western ears, but it grows on you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I love love love his "Concerto for Orchestra."

Just wonderful!

It was one of his last compositions, I believe.....

:hi:

[Pooka Fey]

15. Franz Lizst Totentanz

It's just much too much 19th century orchestral bombast. Also I don't like the 1st movement of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 - the other movements are OK.

What classical pieces do I love??? How much time do you have? 10 off the top of my head: Chopin Preludes, Brahms 2nd & 4th Symphonies, Beethoven Emperor Piano Concerto, Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro" and Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, Brahms Double Concerto for Violin and Cello, Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade, Bach "Goldberg Variations" recorded by Glenn Gould in 1955, Ravel "Le tombeau de Couperin" for solo piano recorded by Abbey Simon.
