Today....
a few examples:
Schubert Symphony 5 - minuet. Delightful piece!
Glazunov Novelettes, the Orientale. Great fun to play this one.
Chopin C Minor Nocturne - absolutely stunning, but very difficult to play!
Mahler 7 first movement various extracts, again!

I can imagine myself visiting this thread almost daily! :)

"Die Sire" from Verdi's Requiem is pretty tough to get rid of, once you hear it a couple of times.  ???

I once had a period of time when the 'Tuba Mirum' was all I could think of...! :) Verdi's Requiem is certainly a great piece!

As promised, my daily contibution to the thread:

Today, mainly:
Mahler 5 - finale.
Mahler 7 1st mov. - yet again!
Chopin Db Major Prelude 'Raindrop'
Beethoven 'Ghost Trio' - opening.
Beethoven Symphony 7 Allegretto
Schoenberg 'Pelleas und Melisande'

And these are only a few examples! There is not a single moment when I am not thinking of music! :)

I'm an oaf, and a shallow one at that, but it strikes me that you're - how shall I put it? - stark raving mad about Mahler! Am I right?

Keep 'em coming!

You are very correct! :) - hence username! ;) Mahler is my absolute favourite - his 6th/9th symphonies being my two absolute favourite pieces ever written! :)
Will do! ;)

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Two things that keep popping up in my head, and sometimes I find morphing one into the other:

The opening of Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1
The Dies Irae section of Rachmaninov's Paganini Variations

What's truly fun is when I start playing variations on the Rachmaninov variations in my head.

(In real life I'm hard pressed to play Chopsticks).

I felt that way too for a while. Loved the requiem but didn't really like his operas. I listened to the opera more intensely, since those were the only CDs I had traveling in cruise ship for 5 days. The voyage was soon over and I became a huge Verdi fan.  :)

Well, once I tried to listen to the operas as well, so I listened to Traviata, Rigoletto and Otello, but I'm sorry I didn't like them very much....too melodramatic and not expressive and powerful enough. Verdi's music has never attracted me, apart from the Requiem and few arias from the operas.

Strange - usually people who prefer Wagner find Otello more to their liking. Oh well.
