I am sure we have some classical music aficionados here. What better way to bring them out of the woodwork than starting a thread about it?
Post away your favorite classical music here!
I'll start.
I've loved this short piece since I was about 6:
Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

I have occasionally claimed that if I was stranded on an island with no music but Chopin, I would be content. Not enthused with my lot in life, but content.
