[paddywak]

and again. If it daesn't work it should be Torreville and Deanes Balero

[Spoonboy]

When it comes to choice paddywak, I still rather go with Victoria de los Angeles. Tonyav and Delboy3: both good pieces. There are plenty I like, but I mainly like Rachmaninov to listen to, for which mmy second favourite is his 1st movement from Piano Concerto No.3. Thank you everyone who has thus far answered, I shall be giving out best answer later. Or on Saturday.

Choosing a favourite piece of music is like saying choose your favourite child. :)
There are so many pieces which I enjoy listening to -

Moonlight Sonata
Brahms's 4th symphony
Scheherazade
Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture
Clair De Lune
Fur Elise

There are so many but if it's just one then it has to be Laudate Dominum by Mozart
