Favorite movement from a symphonic work?
on: December 09, 2006, 02:41:28 AM
This doesn't really fit in with the Polls etc. so I am posting it here.

At the moment, what is your favorite non-piano-solo-related-at-all movement from a symphonic work?

Rachmaninoff second symphony third mvt. Listen to the clarinet solo.  :) One of the most beautiful melodies ever for me.

Eventhough this forum is for non-piano stuff. I would put non-piano music stuff in one of the other forums. Either 'misc' or 'repetoire'.

I don't really know. I like Scriabin and Beethoven. Can decide a piece and a movement.


Wait, Penderecki No.7 movement five.

Classic. My favorites right now are the 1st mvt's of Brahms' 1 and 4.

;D I was just contemplating doing a piano transcription of that the other day, me thinks it might be possible although I haven't really started looking it over in any depth.

I love VW's and Sibelius' 5th symphony at the moment.
