does anyone know any good classical music

[Onion]

I find lately my nerves are exstreamly shot. And I've been listening to listening to music to claim some peace of mind these days. anyways I was enjoying some classic symphony and orgistra music. but i dont know too much about this area of music. I was hopeing, some of y'all might know some good works to listen to.


Specialy violen music X)

I know a lot of classical (by the broad definition of the term) piano music.

Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# Minor (Granted, it's not the happiest piece, but it sounds lovely.)
Turkish March
Cohen Scherzo #7 (Okay, this was technically made in the 2000's, but it sounds classical.)

I'd add more but I just had a brainfart.  Youtube is also a great resource for this.

My absolute favorite orchestral piece is Barber's Adagio for Strings. It's a very intense piece with a lot of emotion, but I find it pretty calming. I've even had the opportunity to play this piece and man... what an experience.

I've taken to listening to the local classical station here on my drive to and from work. Some of the popular composers you hear on there:
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
Camille Saint-Saens
Franz Schubert
Felix Mendelssohn
Arcangelo Corelli
Mozart
Tchaikovsky
Georg Philipp Telemann
Antonin Dvorak
Antonio Vivaldi
Dmitri Shostakovic

That list + youtube should get you a good start

my taste in classical music is very -very- different from everyone elses, so i feel that it's my job to expose you to music (and maybe especially violin/string music) that you will have never heard before in your life. maybe you'll thank me, or maybe you'll tell me that my music is just talentless and "not music" but i don't care! try some of these out for size;
