Favorite piece of 'Classical' music?

[Solitary]

Shostakovich - Jazz Suite No. 2: VI. Waltz 2

Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No.2.
(First part of the first movement here, although I like all of it)
[video=youtube]

Haydn - Symphony No. 22 - II movement.

Brahms - Tragic Overture.

And many others. And I didn't even mention Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Prokofiev, Sibelius - all of which I adore. There is always something unheard in classical music, waiting to be found and enjoyed.

Hmmm...

In 2005, I started playing the piano, and the second piece I learned (after "Watermark," by Enya) was "Moonlight" by Beethoven. That's a somber piece, but I find it relaxing. But I believe that the most touching and lovely piece -- the piece that will guarantee tears at some point or another XD -- is commonly known as "Prelude in G," or even "Air on a G String," a lush, heartwarming piece for chamber strings composed by J.S. Bach. I'm somewhat partial to the Baroque era of music, since that was the main era where most of my vocal repertoire comes from.
