My absolute favorite is:
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (FULL) - YouTube
But another good contestant (which I only got to know 3 days ago):
Beethoven's Tempest Sonata mvt. 3 -- Wilhelm Kempff - YouTube
What about you? What is some of your favorite classical music?
I'm always a sucker for Clair de lune by Debussy.
I am also a huge Chopin fan. Here are a couple of my favorites of his.
Fantasie Impromptu
"Raindrop" Prelude
Generally his Nocturnes are my favorite pieces, but I can't think of any specific names, and Youtube was just pulling up videos of his complete Nocturnes. But here is that if you want an hour and a half of piano music.
Gymnopedies No. 1 by Erik Satie
As for something more recent, I've been jamming to the main theme from Eyes Wide Shut on repeat for a few days now.
I'm assuming we're talking about all "classical" music from the 19th century and earlier as well as any modern classical-style pieces, and not just the Classical period.
Bach, J.S. Partita No. 3 in E, BWV 1006 - YouTube
Sorabji: Fantaisie Espagnole (1919), Performed by John Carey - YouTube
Andres Segovia Capricho Diabolico, Op.85 - YouTube
Danza Mora(Tarrega) by Carlos Ruben Gomez - YouTube
J.S. Bach - Inventions # 13 - # 15 (BWV 784 - BWV 786) - YouTube
Also seconding Fantasie Impromptu. I love Chopin.
