"Richard Strauss was neither a NAZI nor a sympathizer."Thanks, Devere. I'm glad to learn that. I love his music. I think I'll love it even more now that you've educated me. ~S

J.S. Bach and Handel would fill my top hundred.
When I was a teenager, I would have preferred Beethoven and Mozart. But I grew up.
To: devere; Pharmboy
No offense, but I liked Pharmboy's original ten better than yours. My preferences for classical music are heavily weighted towards the modern end - Igor Stravinsky, Edgard Varèse, Béla Bartók, etc.
In particular Beethoven's string quartet opus 131, from Pharmboy's list. I wrote a college paper on it. The piece was arguably an early peek at 20th century music.

Puccini’s Turandot
Sorry, not pre-1900, but maybe we’ll let you have it if you really do get stranded on a desert island (Puccini was born in 1858 but Turandot was written in the 1920s and premiered in 1926 after his death).

To: Pharmboy
It is inconceivable to not have some Brahms in that list.
To: Pharmboy
There are several pieces of early American Music, especially the Tin Pan Alley songs that I would probably want to take with me.
Certainly "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away," by Paul Dresser. As a Hoosier, and as a resident of Dresser's hometown, Terre Haute, Indiana, I would be amiss to not include that selection. Especially with Jim Nabors singing it.
To: newguy357
Other than the “Academic Festival Overture” and his violin concerto, I never muched liked him. I know, I know...several people I respect have told me I’m all wet on Brahms.

I heard a guy ripping on Pachabel. Probably on a Dr. Demento show. Playing Canon on a guitar, he said he was a cello player growing up, and when playing Canon in D Major, the 1st violins got melodies, the 2nd violins got melodies, and even the violas got melodies, and that should never happen.
And the cello section? They got to play the same 8 notes, 50-some times.
So he said Pachabel was haunting him, and he goes on to play some recent and recognizable songs that one can hear Canon's influence. Aerosmith, The Beatles, a Taco Bell jingle...
