    I recognize Toccato and Fuge (makes me think of Count Dracula ), Moonlight Sonata, and Adagio for Strings. I am a greatest hits kind of girl when it comes to this type of music. Mainly I listen to it while working and I usually don't recognize the names of certain pieces. But these are three that I can actually identify by name. I am fond of the Mozart's Magic Flute - The Queen of the Night.

    Speaking of music, since i've already in several threads mentioned my favorite classical music, let me say I really enjoy The Cheiftans. I love a particular album where they teamed up with rock stars: The Long Black Veil. The have a write up in wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lon..._Chieftains%29. I particularly like the one they do with Mick Jagger and the one with Sting. Also they do a great version of The Rocky Road to Dublin with all of the Stones, not just Jagger.
