compilation of my favorite classical music moments bcuz I want to and can

Been a fan of classicla music since early childhood when my grandma played Eine kleine nachtmusik by Mozart (not the biggest fan of him anymore. Presonally i think he's overrated lol)

This will probably be a long post so it's all under the cut

Alexander Borodin - Polovtsian dances from "Prince Igor" 3:37 when the choir comes in. I get chills every time but then at 7:05 the mood changes and it suddenly feels so whimsical

Antonin Dvorak - From the new world .4 0:16 can you hear the brass section giving it their all? you better cuz damn

Camille Saint-Saens - Danse macabre love this whole piece to death one of my faves but 1:30 just hits different

Edvard Grieg - Piano concerto .1 the beginning is just so powerful i love it. But also at 1:39 when the piano picks up and the build up to 3:58 is soooo good

Frederic Chopin - Winter wind You wanna hear a beat drop i classical music? look no further than 0:24

Gustav Holts - Mars, the bringer of war I adore the planets and this is one of my faves. It really is the bringer of war but the build up to 4:19 is amazing

Gustav Holts - Jupiter, the bringer of jolly My absolut favorite planets piece. So fun, so dramatic and dynamic but the part at 4:30 just gets me

Tchikovsky - none but the lonely heart. 6 Hands down, my all time favorite ever. It's so emotional and simply beautiful. But the climax that starts at 2:11 gives me chills every time i listen to it

Tchikovsky - Piano concerto .1 Beatutiful start. I love the begining of this one but listen to 2:22 and tell me you didn't feel something

Tchikovsky - Swan lake, lake in the moonlight everyone has heard this one but it's damn good and the part between 2:00 and 2:30 ish will never not be good

Samule Barber - Adagio for strings this one is so god damn emotional it feels so gutteral in some way. 4:50 to 5:08 ish is such a good climax to this piece

i could go on for days but for now, that's it
