Start by buying movie soundtracks. Most movies use famous classical pieces, or those pieces become famous because of the movie. Think
2001: A Space Odyssey. The music in that film is amazing.
Also Sprach Zarathustra - R. Strauss
On the Beautiful Blue Danube - J. Strauss
Also, if you don't know how to read music but still want to follow the piece, I recommend the Music Animation Machine. The creator, Stephen Malinowski, has a channel on Youtube -
smalin. Here is one that he made.
Brandenburg Concerto No. 4: III. Presto You might already know this piece, it's quite famous.
I'm a 2nd year music major so I analyze this stuff all the time. If you have questions or want recommendations, just PM me.
