I'd like to share a Beethoven's music to you. The melody is beautiful in the back. Hope u will like it.

	Orpheus  +  685810 Thu, 12 Mar 09 08:53 AM What do you think is the best piece of music EVER? I think it has got to be the second movement of Beethoven's  Piano Concerto No. 5. "Emperor Concerto" I know my naming of the piece is not entirely accurate. Would someone more knowledgeable than me please advise the exact name of this piece, please? Please enjoy what is believed to be Beethoven's last work before he died. It is sublime!”   Nice piece, Mike! I didn't know you were into classical music. Anyway, are you sure it was Beethoven's last work, because as far as I know, it was his last piano concerto, but not his last composition. And about the name of the piece, not that I'm more knowledgeable than you, but I think there's nothing wrong with the name above, unless you also want to mention the key it is in and the opus number, then it would be 'Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major, Op. 73'. As for me, there are loads that I like, but Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 has always been one of my favourites. Sauer's First Piano Concerto is brilliant also, particularly the Cavatina, luscious!

Thanks for your comments, your historical info, your advice as to the accurate naming of the piece, and your general wisdom. :-) Thanks also for letting us know a couple of your favourites. I'm off to listen to them now.   Pieces such as these paint more vivid and intreaguing pictures than any movie could ever hope to!   Best wishes,   Mike    Mike in Japan Joined on Tue, Aug 19 2003 Senior Member 4,371 I do like to be beside the seaside

It's a powerful piece of music!   Thanks to all who are partaking of this thread!  Good music beats stupid movies any day!     Mike in Japan Countries, France, Arts
