Oh no Cyrilla, I'm not upset in the slightest. I know how passionately you feel about solfa, and of the benefits it brings, so don't mind me when I say VOTE FOR THE MOZART CLARINET CONCERTO


Already have Deborah, already have!!!!!!!!!!! smile.gif

Classic FM are doing thier yearly Hall Of Fame - where anyone can choose thier favorite 3 pieces of Classical Music and enter them in to the largest survey of its kind. It'd be interesting to know your top 3 pieces of Classical music, what are your favorites? (whether you voted, havent voted yet, or are not going to vote at all!)
Mine are
Smetena: The Moldau from Ma Vlast (My Country)
Chopin: Winter Wind Etude op.25 no.11
Chopin: nocturne in C# minor
Is this an excuse to promote oneself in terms of musical knowledge. Constructive praise and ideas would benefit us all. Come on...


Listing favourites is pointless. Use your time to constructively criticise and pass on ideas is much more fulfilling. Please reply. I am hungary

Actually listing favourites is very constructive so one can analyse the inner depths of one's concious emotional being and appreciate the fine nuances and refinities in people's opinion of great music, do you not agree? If you are hungry, have something to eat.


Out of interest Boo, you appear not to have listed your top 3, though I fully appreciate that it's nigh on impossible to narrow yourself down to three!!!

Ooh I'd have to say
1) Mendelssohn's violin concerto 2nd movement
2) Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave
3) Klaus Badelt's theme tune to Pirates of the Caribbean

As you can see I don't have the most mature musical taste but I just love these three at the moment. smile.gif

I was referring to the other two mainly but I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes it. It doesn't get the acclaim it deserves in my opinion.

If loving the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto makes you immature, then that's two of us.

Ok guys! What did you think? biggrin.gif

Personally I thought that this years has actually been quite good..listened way too much... laugh.gif ph34r.gif

Top 3 were a bit predictable but I had a hunch Rach 2 wouldnt get it again and Mozart would...following several references to 'most popular composer'..etc..

Woo Lark Ascending got to number 3 biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Was a bit disappointed at placings of Einaudi, Maxwell Davies and a wanted Rhapsody on a theme to get a bit higher..oh well...

Have discovered several new pieces/composers that I hadn't known or heard much by before.. Enrio Morricone, Khacharturian and Saint-Saens especially! wub.gif

So all's good...

In the top 3 I only really liked The Lark Ascending (sorry!). As for what I would've voted for (but didn't)...

Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition (Should be playing it this summer, all going well!)
Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake (Tchaikovsky is one of my favourite composers and the music for Swan Lake is amazing)
Stravinsky: Firebird Suite (It has a fantastic finale)

You could've got me voting for most of the film soundtracks, though (Lord of the Rings and Star Wars in particular), and I was supporting a lot of other entries too (The Planets [well...Jupiter, anyway], Finlandia, the Mozart Horn Concertos, Vltava, Turandot and so on).

As clarinet concerti go, the Mozart's OK I suppose.

Let me guess - there was no Wagner anywhere in the CFM top 100.

My favourites, in no particular order:

Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin (Wagner)
Wedding-day at Troldhaugen (Grieg)
Anvil Chorus from Il Travatore (Verdi)

I'd also like to mention the following:

Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet (Prokofiev)
Peter's Theme from Peter and the Wolf (Prokofiev)
Symphony no.40 in G minor (Mozart)
Requiem in D minor, Sequentia: Dies Irae (Mozart)
Pavane (Faure)
A peice that my computer calls Jilja - Leid, and I don't know which is the title or composer.
Pomp and Circumstance March no.1 (Elgar)
