This may have been a thread before and not to make anyone feel morbid but I would love your preferences for the last music you hear before you depart the world.
I would choose Ravel's String Quartet Movement I or Le tombeau de Couperin, piano version. 

If you are not sure go and suggest a strong possibility anyway.  8)

jowcol

Mussorgsky/Ravel Pictures at an Exhibition-- it was the first piece I ever loved.   Might as well bow out to it.

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).



Scarpia

I was wondering when this perennial favorite would make it's appearance on the site.  It should be something by Vivaldi.  Then death would come as a welcome relief.
