Favorites

I suppose if I could only choose one of each: Favorite composer; Tomaso Albinoni, Favorite Instrument; oboe, favorite Piece; the Adagio from Albinoni's Oboe Concerto in D minor, Op. 9, No. 2 (a beautifully haunting piece of music).
This list could go on for days but I'll limit myself to just one for now.

As a symphony conductor and performing musician I have to say that i have many favorites - usually what I am performing. My favorite composer? Mozart, of course.

Couldn't agree more with NudeinMA about liking all of Mozart's music depending on my mood. I did, one time, manage to be sitting outside watchinga moonrise over the Mogollon Rim here in Sedona just as Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' came on the classical station. It was one of the most magical, 'haunting', chills creatingmoments I can remember. I do wish Mozart had written somethig for the trumpet, much like his father - but I understand that to say he didn't like the trumpet would be an understatement.

Excellent group! Re composers, there is Mozart, and there is everyone else. I even tolerated Amadeus the TV travesty for Mozart the music. I favor no specific works by the Grandmaster. Which one I decide upon depends entirely on the mood.

Amen!!!
I would have liked more for the harp

I enjoy the well-known ones, but Vivaldi and Telemann are personal favorites
