Every time I see this thread title, this comes to mind:

Yes, I can imagine ;) I admit that Dvorak Slavonic Dances are extremely enjoyable pieces.

Certainly! Very beautiful pieces as well! :)

The Dvorak Slavonic Dances remain very special pieces for me, as they are the pieces that got me into classical music, at the age of 7! :)
Thank you Dvorak!  ;D

Today so far:

Schubert: Symphony no.9
Glazunov: Symphony no.4
R.Strauss: Also Sprach Zarathustra

I think the Strausses family got me into classical music, when I listened to Nur fort!-polka, An der schönen blauen Donau and the Radetzky-Marsch in the New Year's Concert 1998.

Today:

Wagner :)
Tchaikovsky Capriccio Italien
Respighi I Pini di Roma
Mozart Symphony No.40
Mozart Le Nozze di Figaro, finale

It wouldn't happen to be the 'War Dance' in particular, would it? ;)

For me:
Respighi Belkis, Queen of Sheba ' War Dance'
Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances

Well, as the War Dance is my favourite movement of Belkis,, I inevitably tend to focus more on it than on the other sections.

Haha, along with Wagner, Beethoven and Respighi, I've often had the Symphonic Dances in my mind these days too :)

R. Strauss Tod und Verklärung

Which part was it for you Ilaria? The death? or the transfiguration?
I so often have the Transfiguration on my mind, it always brings a tear to my eye... so incredibly beautiful...

For me today:
Beethoven 6
Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no.3
Glazunov Novelletes
Brahms  1

Agreed, it's absolutely suggestive and powerful, maybe my favourite part too; but today I had the whole piece on my mind, without preferences.....I listened to it twice in a row ;)

Not certain, but I think it's this little motet by Johannes Cesaris: Mon seul voloir/Certes m'amour.

The voices in my head this morning are Gothic, to be sure.
