don't know about eras but I REALLY love the soundtrack for Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. That soundtrack was one of the first things I had on my first ipod
Medieval (500-1400)
Renaissance (1400-1600)
Baroque (1600-1760)
Classical (1750-1830)
Romantic (1815-1910)
Post Romantic+Modern (1910-Now)
My favorite would be Baroque but I'm also a fan of Romantic Era. I just ordered this collection on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Top-100-Master...9059234&sr=1-2 Will definitely learn more of other eras. Maybe some hints of the top 2 of each era if you know them.

Someone's taking a humanities course.
Yeah I took 2 years of Music Theory and Ear Training.
These aren't all necessarily classical ones (baroque and what not), but my 3 favorites, in order:
and this one from a commercial I remember when I was a kid:
Baroque and romantic. Baroque sheet music is gay ass with all the figured bass bs but it's fun to listen to. Romantic has some of my favorite pieces and things really started changing but not as extreme as modern
Lol contemporary and medieval
Bullsfan are you majoring in music tbh?
Mid-late 90's.
lol trolls discussing classical music. The world has ended.
Lol ^
I'f we're picking eras instead of people, I'd have to go with the transition from Romantic to Post Romantic. It's not that Beethoven/Mozart/Haydn, etc weren't great, but music of that time was so formalized/formulaic.
The breadth of stylistic development in music from Schubert to, say, Stravinski catches my ear. Once conservatory music gets taken over by conceptualists in the 40's I mostly lose interest, but it's hard to hate on Mahler, Debussy, and Prokofiev -- mutha as was trill.
Stravinsky is alright but he is one of the few post romantic composers I can listen to. Copland is up there too
Mahler is great too but I may be a little biased towards him
Going through all this in a ty music appreciation class right now.
I would say classical, this had the best and most well known composers, Mozart, Beethoven, some Haydn.
Never heard of Frederic Chopin's music till today actually and I thought it was really, really good, he's in the Romantic era. Robert and Clara Schumann's work was also impressive.
Vladimir Horowitz has some great renditions of Chopin pieces. This one is unreal
Doesn't the term "classical" refer specifically to the classical era?
Sure, but not colloquially. Same way you could call hardcore "rock." Yay semantics.
really starts at :30
best at 4:15-6:32
dat violen...mmmph

I don't know what it is, but when I hear neo classical metal, I want more!
That would be the Baroque Era.
Do diminished arpeggios and running up and down scales give you a big rubbery one?
If it fits the song. Yngwie does get carried away though. But if used properly, can sound incredible. Check out this.
No, just no. There will never be a day when I listen to Malmsteen for pleasure. The furthest I go with guitar wank is Marty Friedman and he never goes overboard like that.
