I was never really a big fan of classical music but there was a time that I ‘tripped’ on listening to it just for the fun of it and to annoy my housemates. :) As a matter of fact there’s this local radio station, 104.3 FM something, that plays classical music.

You may not be aware but I’m sure you know more than a handful of classical music although you don’t know their titles… but the sounds will always be familiar.

You want an example? Take the graduation or the Cadet march when you were in high school. Those music are classical music. Another great example is The Flight of the Bumblebee.

Anyway, I’ll be having a series of post about classical music. It’s more of like trivias for it and some famous movies and other things that the particular classical music was used.

In the meantime, while I’m thinking of series of post to do, let’s list the most famous classical music. It’s in no particular order (i think).
