Good Classic Music?
I'm listening to Frederic Chopin right now:
Fantasie Impromptu and
Nocturne for violin and Piano
awsome music, does someone else listens to other classic music? like mozart, beethoven, liszt, brahms?

I am a fan of Brahms. I also have a copy of Yo Yo Ma performing his interpretation of Bachs Cello Suites in my current playlist. Very good if you fancy giving something a bit different a listen (samples available on Amazon).

Oh, yeah, sure -- anything from Monteverdi through Bartok and a bit after. But it's hard to beat the biggies: Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.

Chopin was probably my favorite.
I also liked some of Vivaldi's Four seasons
And there is something special about the Brandenburg Concertos...man when I hear those I could close my eyes and I SWEAR in my mind I am IN EUROPE..driving thru scenic countrysides.
Uhh, stravinsky..I couldnt ever really get behind all that dissonance.
There are tons of classical midi pages..excellent way to sample some other composers.

I think it is always a good idea to start with the biggies then move on to other players. Also if you get a chance you cant beat going to hear it live. Again for a first time go for something recognisable as some of the less accessable stuff can turn you off before you realise what you've been missing.
Really cant go wrong with the likes of Beethovens Symphonies
Motzart, Handel, Bach.
Through in a bit of Brahms.
You really start to get a feel for the periods and the types of music you like.
I have to say that Bachs Concerto for two Violins in D minor and Beethovens Violin Concerto in D are always favorites of mine.

Johnathan Strauss's Persian March is a favorite of mine, but I have unusual tastes 
Most of Mozart's music I like. Most of it.
