New to classical music - Help!!

[burningfuzzy]

I have recently purchased a beautiful sounding hi-fi system, and consequently have began to enjoy classical music at a much deeper level. I want to explore it much more thoroughly, however, I have no idea where to start. I love piano, violin, and works/pieces in minor keys. I am not big on full orchestra or compositions in major keys. Can anyone give me some suggestions? The more the better. Thanks - Aaron

Hey Aaron.

Debussy's Clair De Lune,
Beethovens Moonlight Sonata
Fur Elise, Chopins preludes
Tocotta and Furgue in D minor by Bach,
Serenade - Schubert
Rachmaninoffs prelude in C# minor

There is a list to get you started, anyone got anything else?

See how you go.

Cheers, hope this helps.

Gareth.
