What’s the Greatest Piece of Music Composed?

Recommended Posts

In my opinion it’s the 1st movement of Piano Sonata No. 14 (aka Moonlight Sonata) by Ludwig van Beethoven.  

What’s yours?

Mozart’s Requiem. The Lacrimosa was the last piece of music he worked on before dying. He didn’t finish it.

The Introitus is also beautiful.

Dvorak's New World Symphony. 

I have been a classical musician for most of my life. I have played all pieces posted many times so I've built up my own biases. Basically I like anything Russian/Eastern European with a 150+ orchestration that will blow the roof off on the finales. Viennese waltzes make me want to stab my eardrumbs out and most piano concertos put me to sleep.

Rach 2, suckers 

The second movement is amazing.

Okay I still like it. Not sure why i thought Beethoven.

It’s a good piece. As for the why, not sure.  Maybe you’re getting senile in your old age :P
