beethoven pieces are like the antithesis of mozart pieces. they are all very dramatic and stuff. yeah. that's just my two cents on two classical composers that you might want to listen to. Edit: oh sorry. i didn't know you wanted specific pieces. well i don't really have any at the top of my head right now :\ | ||

Bach's chaconne in D minor for solo violin, part 1 part 2 Andante from Mahler's 6th Symphony, part 1 part 2 Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov it's got 5 parts but I won't bother linking them all, you can find them. Rather than go on listing everything I have ever listened to, I recommend looking up anything by composers like Dvorak or Mendelssohn. I find that pretty much everything they wrote is very accessible, but also very good, and often very stirring. Instead of giving you specific pieces of theirs that I like, you should just pick anything at random; there's a good shot you'll like it, but if not, try the next one. | ||

Anything Dvorak really, it's all good stuff. Bach is pretty relaxing, so try listening to that. I'm not a huge Mozart fan. TBH, I get very pissed when I play a Mozart piece, because I can never do it right. The man is laughing at me from his grave, I swear...Mozart feels very stale and annoying to me. Oh well. | ||

Haydn has a rather optimistic and humorous style in most of his works and has written tons of Symphonies in which a portion have nicknames. Check out both his Cello concertos - the C major one is very straightforward, but the D major one has a little more flavour to it. Beethoven's works fall into the 'eccentric' category for me, and probably isn't much of a good fit for you. If you're willing to give him a go then you need to start with the Symphonies (now that I think about it, Symphony No. 1 is quite suitable). | ||

Gustav Mahler, Symphony No. 2 -- Listen to Mvts. 2 and 5 Tchaikovsky -- Symphony Nos. 4, 5 and 6 Bruckner -- Symphony Nos. 4 and 8 (In particular 8 last movement) Shostakovich -- Chamber Symphony, Symphony No. 5 Beethoven -- Symphony Nos. 5, 9 (Last movement of 9 is still amazing no matter how many times I hear it) Saint-Saens -- Symphony No. 3 Organ Symphony This is not at all what you are looking for in terms of "relaxing" classical music, because all of these are fully orchestrated and contains brass/percussion. They are incredible works though and staples of every classical musicians repertoire. Definitely give some of them a try. Even for me some of the baroque period stuff (Bach) and classical period (Mozart/Haydn) gets really dry and boring. Music becomes much more passionate and entrancing to me once you move more into the romantic period. Edit: To be fair I completely avoided your question, but I am trying to expand your ears a little bit here. I fell in love with music when I started listening to these works. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxYbF-Yzdf0 Gustav Mahler's Symphony no. 5 is an epic symphony, but also very long lol (5 mvmts but in one video) + Show Spoiler + Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings is also great, might be more of what you're looking for since it has the most coherent melody per movement w/ least amount of variation compared to the other two (four mvmts) + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RREjHDiGvMI&feature=related There's tons others but those are some off the top of my head (I've left out some of the more intense stuff like Shostakovich and Prokofiev lol) | ||
