One should always try to pair a flautist with a harper:
(Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major, K. 299)
(The following video only shows the second movement, Andantino, only)

It would be very prudent of you to commit to memory the official catalogue [do try to spell “catalogue” with a “ue” at the end, if you would be so kind) names of all the composers. For example, Mozart’s works rely on the Köchel system, e.g., K. 266; Bach relies on the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis system, e.g., BWV 387. And I believe Schubert is Deutsch listing - like D894 or D960 for a couple of his piano sonata. His trout quintet is d.667 and death in the maiden quartet is d810. Yes, you’re correct. However, you should capitalize the “D” consistently.

I would suggest that mln59 has not listened to enough of the piano repertoire. For example, the cadenza at the end of the 1st movement in Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor (yes, that old warhorse), is a tour de force. And BTW, as a side note (pardon the pun), you cannot be a member of the Classical Intellligentsia, if you do not use high-brow terms like tour de force. The erudite vernacular is a must. The clear, concise, and simple have no place among the cultured elite. Pardonnez-moi!

Now who says you have to be snob to a enjoy classical music? LIke I said, even for someone without muscical genes, I enjoy the famous ones, even if I fall asleep on the boring ones. Hey, I love Mozart's Serenade No. 13 "Eine Kleine Nacht-Musik": I also like Vivaldi's "Four Seasons": And who said it has to be limited to just orchestra? It can also include opera: I like Carmen's "Habanera", probably one of the most famous piece of operatic arias in existence: And Turandot's Nessun Dorma, another very famous piece: Speaking of Turandot, Giacomo Puccini incoporated several real Chinese folk songs into his opera, the most notable being the petatonic scale "Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower"): This Jasmine Flower can be heard closer to it's original form in Chinese composition: And even incorporated into a dance form:

Ahh...the "Hooked on _________" series that made classical music more accessible to the masses in the 1980s. Very short snippets from a variety of famous classical compositions accompanied by a steady disco beat.

Just to revisit the Grieg Piano Concerto I also have it coupled with Schumann Piano concerto on the Decca label. The recording dates from 1973 with Radu Lupu as soloist and Andre Previn conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.
According to the reviews on Amazon the Previn/Lupu recording is better than the Lipatti with the Philharmonia. Personally I lean towards the latter.

I used to have an Artur Rubinstein one (RCA Red Label) from the early 60s that was better IMO. Rubinstein was pretty old when that recording was made -- would be nice if there was an earlier version, but I never checked.

I have a CD of Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra performing Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Love the orchestration and overall presentation of their playing of this great work.

In the 1980s, I spent a lot of time with classical music, including playing the piano, shopping for classical CDs, and listening to the local classical radio station when I wasn't playing the piano or shopping for CDs. In my collection, I have the entire body of works by various composers. In particular, when I was shopping around for Mozart's entire collection of piano sonatas, I remember reading all the reviews and thinking that I wanted someone with a conservative approach to the sonatas, not some wild demon with an idiosyncratic interpretation of them. So, I eventually chose Mitsuko Uchida's works for the Mozart piano sonatas. Not disappointed. Not exactly conservative but she's not wild and crazy either.
