In college I took a music appreciation course that really, really helped me
figure it all out. For me Beethoven is God. His late string quartets are
some of the most intense music ever created. But I think my all time
favorite piece of music is Handel's Music For the Royal Fireworks.

And Mr. Sanchez is right as usual - the same piece played by different
conducters and orchestras can sound remarkably different.
