Classical Pieces of All Times
Counting down this weekend on radio.
I know about 82 of them. Still way to go :)
Here are the top 20:
1. Symphony #9 (Beethoven)
2. Four Seasons (Vivaldi)
3. Symphony #5 (Beethoven)
4. Canon in D (Pachelbel)
5. Symphony #9, New World Symphony (Dvorak)
6. Symphony #6 (Beethoven)
7. Adagio for Strings (Barber)
8. Piano Concerto #2 (Rachmaninoff)
9. Brandenburg Concertos (Bach)
10. Appalachian Spring ( Copeland)
11. Clair de Lune (Debussy)
12. Orchestral Suite #1 (Bach)*
13. Moldau (Smetana)
14. Symphony #7 (Beethoven)
15. Eine Kleine Nacht Musik (Mozart)
16. Symphony #1 (Brahms)
17. Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin)
18. Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (Rachmaninoff)
19. Water Music (Handel)
20. Meditation from Thais (Massenet)
Not a big fan of Handel, but I will crack Water Music to clear the top 20.
Just heard No. 90 Pomp & Circumstance by Elgar, a very fun piece. My favorite piece by him is Salut d'amour Op.12, which did not make to the 100. 喜欢这种柔情的作品好像感觉我的口味比较小资，当然我更欣赏贝多芬的英雄气概。他的英雄交响曲怎么才排第39呢？

So 'Meditation from Thais' made to the top 20? How interesting! I used to like it a lot.
This is a very "Boston" list, isn't it?
