J.S. Bach - Goldberg Variations
Ludwig Van Beethoven - Pathetique
Joseph Haydn - Quartet No.2 in D minor, Opus 76
Robert Schumann - Symphony #3 in E flat, Opus 97
Frederic Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu
I hope my list isn't too scatterbrained, but I enjoy these pieces.
You sure have it down to the details. The composers I know but don't know any of these by name, maybe if I heard it would sound familiar. A list worth checking out.
I've had to pop back in here and thank you both for that recommendation - I've now got 2 CDs of his stuff (Music for 18 and also 6 pianos & violin concerto) and I love it. I hereby pass on the recommendation to anyone else who is interested and doesn't mind a bit of minimalism.
Ok update people. I had mentioned that I did not have satellite so my classical music listening was really limited to CDs and the ONE channel here in my local vicinity. Well I am proud to announce that I officially have satellite and I could not be more pleased. I have already pre set my channels to switch from genre to genre!!!! I heard a touching piece this morning on the POPS channel. I think it was the ending credits of a movie or something-don't remember the artist. But anyways I am loving it!!!
Also I wanted to take the time to mention once again Philip Glass. I am including the link to the opening sequence of the movie "Notes on a Scandal". I happen to own this soundtrack and it is breath taking:
I had found a while ago a link to Glass explaining how he developed the score. He played pieces of it on piano to an audience and explained what moods he was trying to convey in certain scenes. If you have seen the movie Barbara has her own theme. Excellent. I cannot find it but when I do I will post it.
The closing is as equally breath taking.

Reason: Glass link
Maybe you're not old enough to have grown up as a kid watching those great TV variety shows in the 50's and 60's ?
This is true. However, I own the entire score to Dark Shadows and have seen each and every episode thanks to Netflix. The opening music is quite eerie and I loved the pieces written by Robert Cobert. I love Quentin and Angelique's theme and in the latter episodes Joanna's theme. I'm 28
Last yr I had the pleasure of meeting Lara Parker (Angelique). She was doing a book signing of her latest release Dark shadows: The Salem Branch
