They guessed that mine was Chopin's Minute Waltz, which was way, way off the mark. Also, it seems to suggest that I'm a bit of a flighty person who doesn't take things too seriously.

Do they get yours right ??

[Captain2]

Well I got the same as you JJ and Chopin is not one of my favourites. I prefer Sibelius, Mahler or currently Karl Jenkins 'Benedictus.'
Let's hope somebody comes up with a different 'favourite'

[stuey]

According to them mine is Bach's B minor mass; but then, what do they know:)

[joggerjayne]

Karl Jenkins? I love his Allegretto from Palladio. Not sure of the spellings.

Bach's B Minor Mass? Jeepers, that sounds a bit obscure. I'm not sure that I'm terribly fond of Bach, really.

Have a listen JJ - (It builds by the way)

Not my favourite but one I love.....Mozart's Clarinet Concerto......and I guess it suits me.......☺

[Baldric]

Mahler's Symphony Number 2,

You cannot be serious!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mamyalynne]

They chose Beethoven's Ninth for me , but this is my favourite.

[joggerjayne]

Barber? Mmmm ...

[nungate]

Debussy "Clair de Lune" or Rachmaninovs 18th variation on a theme by Paganini
I can never decide which is my favourite so I have to say both! The quiz says Chopins Minute waltz, which I like but it isn't a favourite

[joggerjayne]

They seem to be giving too many Minute Waltzes !

[Mamyalynne]

It lasts too long.

[nungate]

They could always alternate the minute waltz with Shoshtakovichs Second waltz... sorry, bad joke couldn't resist. I shall return to watching the football

[joggerjayne]

Oh, groan, nungate. That was painful. Oh, okay okay, Best Answer. x

[joggerjayne]

Hang on, what football? On Sunday night??

[DaisyNonna]

Tchaikovsky is my preference, I too ended up with The Minute Waltz

[jno]

Lark Ascending? That's not really very close to Capriccio Espagnol, is it?

[Captain2]

Perhaps most of us are on 'Just a Minute' next week?

[tonyav]

Vaughan Williams, The Lark Ascending. I've never heard of it !.
Classical isn't my favourite music but if I were to choose a favorite it would be this I think.
