I listen to classical music and absolutely adore the violin and I was wondering is "Final Fantasy" (not ot be confused for the awesome RPG series) was any good, because I was given a reccomendation.

Owen Pallett.  This the guy?  Never heard of him, but here's a little info.  He doesn't seem to be very "classical" though.

I love it!  Except for string quartets, hate them.\nFavorite composers....Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Khachaturian, Tchaikovsky,and of course, Beethoven.\nA preponderance of good musicians from all disciplines will tell you that their classical training was invaluable to their development.

If it is played well. \n\nAny good tune changes to 'very nice' when played on a violin. So I'd stay away from hip hop.

Yeah, they all seem to be about horrible things.  Like "Ring Around The Rosy".  It's about the plague in the medieval times.  Great music!

If you play any of it , you have my respect. Chopin's stuff was pretty demanding from what i hear. I heard a chopin piece once played by a guy named Tony MaCalpine, who is better known as one of those "Neo-Classical" inflence shred guitar players, though he is also an amazing pianist / keyboardist who had a formal classical background.

It is very difficult making a choice, because there are so many symphonies that could go in that position.  Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony is a favourite - the only problem is that despite its name, like most of the choices above  it's not actually a symphony!  I love Honegger's Second Symphony for Strings.  Of course, Beethoven's Fifth (the ta-ta-ta dum one above).  Nielsen, Symphonia Espansiva (the 3rd).  Charles Ives' Third.  Mahler's Sixth and Ninth.  I could go on forever, so I'd better shut up.  :)

Gravitation is a great show. It's yaoi but I know people who love it even though they dont normally watch it. One of the best things is that its short enough to keep your interest and it isn't as expensive as the series that have 50+ episodes.

Today's talk will be about Igor Stravinsky, a Russian-born composer.  Although Igor (no relation to Dr. Frankenstein's assistant) composed primitivist, neo-classical and serial works, he is best known for three compositions from his earlier, Russian period: The Firebird, Pétrouchka, and The Rite of Spring. These daring and innovative ballets practically reinvented the genre!!  Amazing,  but true!!   \n\nStravinsky also wrote for a wide range of ensembles in a broad spectrum of classical forms, ranging from opera and symphonies to piano miniatures and works for jazz band. Stravinsky also achieved fame as a pianist and conductor, often at the premieres of his own works.  Too cool, ain't it?\n\nOkay...stop looking at me like that...you started it.

bluelaguna.net has a great selection of RPG video game music! I would suggest the song Promise Pain from Xenosaga III

I have not seen this film, but two of my friends have seen it and they liked it very much - these friends are big fans of classical music. So, if you love classical music, probably you will enjoy this film. I read the entire New York Times review and there is no mention of other classical works. I think the film is really just about Beethoven working on his 9th Symphony.\n\nThis is from the New York Times review of Copying Beethoven:\n\nThe presentation of the Ninth is reason alone to see the film. Onscreen is the Kecskemet Symphony Orchestra of Hungary, but what we hear is a 1996 Decca recording of Bernard Haitink conducting the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam. Purists may object to this strategy, but Ms. Holland's filmmaking in this scene is so sensitive that only quibblers will notice if the bowing doesn't match the sound. With her cinematographer, Ashley Rowe, and editor, Alex Mackie, she orchestrates bursts of images and metronomic camera pans that become a visual counterpoint to the music's propulsive and flowing tempos, its rushing violins and soaring voices. Every so often the camera focuses on one of Beethoven's hands, the fingertips stirring the air as if rustling the notes. The world falls away, blissfully.

Check out Jim Brickman stuff. His music is very flowing and has a lot of awesome syncopation. I played a piece for a recital like 10 years ago that was beautiful. it's called Journey West (The Oregon Trail) and its by Renee Schwab. It's a very beautiful piece. Very flowing. It sounds like movie score music. If you decide to do that piece, it has like 6 #'s or something crazy like that, but if you ignore that key signature and play it in the key of Bb (Bb and Eb) it sounds the same and you dont have to deal with the horrible key signature. \nChopin has a lot of good pieces too, most are pretty hard, but he has a couple that you could probably do. His songs have a lot of emotion which is awesome.\nHope this helps! :)

They're pretty good.  I like Daryl Palumbo (the singer) but Glassjaw is much better.  The music is pretty good.  I have their CD, Decadence, and it has its moments.  Sometimes it makes me want to dance, which is rare.  Definitely try and hear some of their music for free before you pay for it.

My daughter just finally outgrew her country music stage, and graduated to pop. I can handle that, I've been listening to the local pop station.\n\nIf I were to pick a classical piece, I'd probably go with Opus 49 of the 1812 Overture, I love Tchaikovsky. Yep, I just listened to it again, and (aside from AC/DC) any orchestra/band that has somebody playing a cannon is alright by me.\n\nBut I only listen to classical when cleaning my house. I'm more of an 80's metalhead actually.

It's POP music "Japan style"! Some of it is kind of cool. I listen to all kinds of music. Have a nice day. ^_^

Are you looking for something popular, or a classical piece?\n\nIf you're looking for popular music, you might try something by Faith Hill, like "Breathe" or "Cry".  I'm not a country fan, but those are both fantastic songs.\n\nClassical it's a little hard to suggest, because I have no idea about your vocal range or your ability to read music.

Awesome piece & a lot of fun to play!\n\nIf you are looking for the sheet music, you can find it here by itself:\nhttp://www.sharmusic.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=1228+005&Cat=\n\nOr there are a lot of collection books that contain it.  I have the Fritz Kreisler collection (http://www.sharmusic.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=1937+105&Cat=) which has Praeludium & Allegro plus a lot of other great pieces.  I have also seen it in one of the advanced Suzuki method books.  It is a very popular piece so you could probably find it by flipping through some violin collection books at a local music store.\n\nIf you are looking for a recording, I especially like the ones done by Midori and Itzhak Perlman.  They each interpret it in completely different ways but I love them both.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000028N1\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002RQK
