Do you like classical music? My favorite piece is "Adagio for Strings". Most know it from the movie "Platoon"
I do like classical music! I generally prefer music more from the truly Classical period of 1750 to 1820.
Who are some of your favorite composers? I am a fan of Wagner although I think he was a little past that time.
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov (; ) was a Russian composer, and a member of the group of composers known as The Five. He was a master of orchestration. His best-known orchestral compositions—"Capriccio Espagnol", the "Russian Easter Festival Overture", and the symphonic suite "Scheherazade"—are staples of the classical music repertoire, along with suites and excerpts from some of his 15 operas. "Scheherazade" is an example of his frequent use of fairy-tale and folk subjects.
Rimsky-
Kennedy's favorite pieces of music. Jackie Kennedy arranged a concert the Monday after his death with the National Symphony Orchestra; they played to an empty hall. The concert was broadcast by radio. Barber knew about these memorial occasions. He did a radio interview about it with WQXR and said, "They always play that piece. I wish they'd play some of my other pieces."
In 2004, listeners of the BBC's "Today" program voted "Adagio for Strings" the "saddest classical" work
