Same goes for "excerpts" or things of that nature. That's kinda like reading the Cliffs Notes version of a book, to me.
As far as general recommendations, Beethoven is fantastic, and Mozart has some interesting fantasies as well. If you're looking for mostly adagio/pianissimo stuff, though, there's only so much that I can think of.
EDIT:
That's actually by Beethoven, and it's the first movement. |
uh oh, I actually had both the Mozart one in C minor and mixed the titles together by accident because they were both in my iTunes playlist, and I wasn't looking carefully enough! x_x whoops. I do know that Moonlight Sonata is not a Mozart piece.
And as far as just taking excerpts and single movements, I do happen to have the other movements of each sonata and concerto, and the rest of the Swan Lake ballet, but I am only picking out the slower stuff for this particular playlist. Most of the stuff I have already is stuff that we analyzed in my music theory class.
Thank you for all the good suggestions so far!
