Are there any masterpieces comparable to these two songs?
Please brainstorm a list of songs, if you know what I'm talkin about.
Need new songs.

PIECES. You may be stoned for calling these songs. And do they have to be orchestral?

a personal list:
Beethoven piano sonatas
Mozart - Symphony No. 40
Chopin - "Heroic" Polonaise, Etudes, Preludes etc.
Liszt - Liebestraum, La Campanella, Etudes, etc.
Bach - Brandenburg Concertos
Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 2, Preludes, etc.
Rodrigo - Concierto de Aranjuez
Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherazade

There are many great works. It's a matter of personal taste. My personal favorites are the solo piano works (sonatas and short pieces).

To play or to listen to?  Are you new to classical music? Well a couple of my favorites.  Mussorky's Pictures at an Exhibition (I like orginal piano scores the best, but there are many orcheteral arrangments that are lovely.), William Grant Still and I think it is "The Four Horseman." I will have to look it up though.  Can not rightly recall if that is correct.  Debussy's "Jardin et suis la pluie"  Pretty much anything I hear Rachmaninov.  "Tender land suite" by Copeland.


Oh and Beethoven's 3rd sympony heroica is my personal favorite of his symphonies.  William tell Overture, I have to say, I never much cared for.  I bought a CD of Roussinnis once lost it and never cared to replace it.  To each their own I guess.

hope this helps         
I am no longer fighting my inner demons.  We are now all on the same side.

As for songs, my favorite is still "Wegweiser" from "Winterreise" by Franz Schubert.

omg I forgot Vivaldi - The Four Seasons
That was the first CD we listened to for school. Very nice introduction.
