amazing, that your grammar fails in the title, but then is right again in the text, hehe

I personally love the compositions of Edvard Grieg, a norwegian mastermind, who wrote the story of Peer Gynt. His most amazing piece is, in my opinion, Anitra's Dance, which also is in the story.

Schoenberg always wins.

I'm a score nerd, never got much into anything else. This is all I got that wasn't made for a movie.



I am open to further suggestions based on it.

Arabesque no 1 by Debussy is my all time favourite!

+1 on the Schoenberg.

However, if I had to choose just ONE, piece, I think I would, eventually, have to go with G. F. Haas's "In Vain." This piece is just 63 minutes of gorgeous, shimmering beauty. (If you have somehow missed this gem among gems, be sure to turn off the lights, it is intended to be performed in the dark!)

Close runner-ups would be Ravel's "Daphnes et Chloe," Górecki's "Symphony No. 3 'Sorrowful Songs'," and, of course, Stravinsky's (in)famous "Rite of Spring."

Apologies for the lack of links, apparently newbies aren't allowed!

Something from Peteris Vasks or Avro Part, they're both Baltic minimalist composers who share an identical style. These two are probably their most haunting works.
