Last month, KUSC asked people to vote in a survey to determine the top 100 classical music pieces of all time. People were asked to vote on their favorites.
We had a thread on it, here.
Last night, after a week of playing the 100 favorites in coundown order, KUSC posted the final result (see the source URL).
In most such surveys, there is one particular piece that usually comes out as the number one selection. Not surprisingly, that piece was number one in this survey too.
The following composers had more than one work on the list. Listed is the name of the composer and the number of his works that appeared on the list:
Beethoven - 10
Bach and Mozart - 9
Tchaikovsky - 5
Brahms and Rachmaninoff - 4
Mendelssohn, Schubert, and Wagner - 3
Chopin, Copland, Debussey, Dvorak, Grieg, Handel, Mahler, Mussorgsky, Puccini, Ravel, Sibelius, and Vaughan Williams - 2

I have never understood the popularity of
Rhapsody in Blue. Not that I hate it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it.
I see that The Four Seasons is on there but I honestly think his Fifth Violin Concerto "La tempesta di mare" is better. Link

HAHAHA! I called it on the original thread. There is no music on this earthly plane that can compare to the Ode to Joy. It is beyond mere art into the realm of the sublime.
