Anyone have any favorites?

As of lately, a significant amount of my guitar playing is almost solely dedicated to classical music (on a classical guitar, of coarse). One composer I always find seriously difficult to play a few measures fluently is Frederic Chopin. I know he was a pianist, but you can find a good amount of his work transcribed on guitar here: http://www.classtab.org/
In my opinion, he is hands down the best classical composer I've heard to date.

This video is fucked up (Attn MSD):

she gonna get raped

By you? You fuckin' freak, she's like 5...at most.

Stockhausen, Nitsch, and Glass are my favorites. Gotta take Bartok on the piano.

Stockhausen is bizarre. I'd say he's kind of like the "grindcore" of classical music.

THAT VIDEO IS AWFUL
SHE HAS NO SENSE OF TIMING

CLASSICAL MUSIC... BACK WHEN WHITEY HAD BALLS
WHAT DO YOU HAVE NOW INSTEAD? EMO AND TECHNO

LOL OWNED
BY YOURSELVES

BLACK POWER!

She actually pulled the piece of quite extravagantly for someone so damn young. Seeing kids play shit so well makes me want to quit playing any instrument all together.

Find me one, and I stress the word ONE, nigger - ooops, I mean black folk - who plays Chopin that well - regardless of their age.

Your right about "what do (we) have now instead? Emo and Techno" - two of the worst styles of music, second only to rap.

What a shame music has become.

WELL, NIGGAS SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING WHITE PEOPLE MUSIC
WE GOT SOME GOOD JAZZ PLAYERS
THAT'S OUR BRANCH OF THE TREE OF LIFE

UR RIGHT ABOUT MUSIC SUCKING THE ASS THESE DAYS
BRING BACK MOTOWN

BLACK POWER!

Point taken. Blackies def. dominate the Jazz branch of music esp. during the Harlem Renaissance when the best of the best made a name for themselves. Compared to almost any old classical composer, music has become a fucking joke.
