Do you know the story behind the piece?
It seems that in reality Beethoven lost a penny and that anger and frustration prompted him to write this cute little number.

Wow! No way to choose one! I've always had a thing for Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique. Of course, as others have mentioned, you can't leave out the greats like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, etc...
When I was in grad school, I had to conduct the the 1st and 4th movements of Brahms Ein Deutches Requiem. Then for a different class, I wrote a short paper comparing and contasting the Brahms requiem with Verdi's Requiem. Needless to say, I wasn't able to scratch the surface in a short paper, but I had a blast lstening, studying, listening, studying, etc...

The Poulenc Gloria is another delightful sacred piece. I have enjoyed listening to it many times.
I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!

Obie,
I had read that somewhere after I first heard the song and had to find out more about it. I have probably 10 or more renditions of the piece by different performers. I can't explain why I like it, I just do.
Other more recent scores are those by Bruce Rowland for he Man from Snowy River Movie. quite a few of those scores are nice. some of the scores are classical in style but modern in age.

Hello, scrapcan:
Yes, many versions of that piece exist. Beethoven originally wrote it for the piano. I can imagine him sitting at the piano and banging away on the keys. A fun piece.

Obie

My absolute favorite is easy. Vladimir Horowitz playing Rachmaninov`s 3`rd piano conserto. I have listened to this conserto a thousend times, and loved every minute. I think Horowitz was in his own league playing Rachmaninov.
