Ok I completely understand your situation now. Since you're even giving the CD for free thats Good! Take your time, because what you'll want to do is to add the finest music into that 1 cd.

The first movement and second movement of Eine Kleine Nachmusik will do, since both are literally heard everywhere.

"Ode to joy", I got an exerp of the famous choral part, its a few minutes long so don't worry about that. its 3.21 minutes long and weighs 5.25mb I can and will send it to you if you want.

Right, onto Chopin. I'd say that the Minute waltz is more popular and its only >1 minute long which means its takes up little space compared to Fantasie Impromptu which should be bigger in size since it's longer.

Moonlight sonata, The 1st movement will do. nevermind the third, drop it.
Mozart's Dies Irae should be a small file too since its 1 minute or so, so I'd say it should still be ok to add it. (but you know me, I love Mozart.)

If you need any of the files just WLM me and I'd be glad to send you the files.

Hey If you run out of CDs i can spare some.

haha
didnt need your cd la
i aledi give many free cd to some of my fren with classical that maybe not famous but very good... (like Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2, Brahms Paganini Variation and Symphony No. 1 )

fantasie impromptu...... really need to drop?? but the Minute waltz can be add since that is didnt take many space
Dies Irae also can if still have space
"Ode to Joy" choral... if the mp3 is on the choral from start, then it will have no suspend...
but since that i have no other choice, will also need the extract "Ode to Joy" choral version
about the "Toccata and Fugue"... i have 2 version. 1 is about 10 minute and another is 2 minute. obviously the 2minute version cut alot... but since that i want to save space, i will use the 2 minute recording...

today got many works to do
how about you send it tomorrow??

oh ya!! The Swam Lake, Scene also a famous work!!!
add in?? juz 2 minute only

Romeo and Juliet Overture by Tchaikovsky used how much time??
the free recording found in classiccat is around 20minute!! (192kbps mp3)
i will download it and listen to decide is it worth to add in cd

i hope can burn all of those cd before March school holiday
so that they can enjoy the classical along the holiday!!

another things is Ravel Bolero... although is famous, but take time around 15 minute... drop or add?? (189kbps, VBR... will convert it to CBR 160kbps)

oh ya, Bach Minuet in C also can!!
1 minute + only, 128kbps

and how about the Montagus and Capulets??

You can add Fantasie Impromtu if you want, jus try to minimize the bitrate to save space, 128 minimum so it won't sound like crap.

Most people will only look for the choral part of "ode to joy" I'd say don't bother with the rest of it. (Eventhough i like to listen to the whole thing) we're trying to save space right?

Go for the 2 minute excerp of Toccata and Fugue since you need all the space you can get so you can add even more mp3s. + most people tend to get abit bored when they listen to long pieces.

I'll be around for a long time. long holiday for me!

I'd say go for the swan lake scene, Since its part of a suite which means shorter time and less space taken.

Don't worry about the Romeo and juliet overture, I have the excerp of the love theme . only 1.93Mb

oo
send to me tomorrow
but i still will listen to whole 20 minute recording first, now downloading...

juz now i suddenly think of a music: Massenet's "Meditation" from THAIS
4 minute recording with 128kbps

Ooh I like that piece, its very relaxing, should have added to my soft music list..

But I don't think many have heard of this piece, I recommend you not to put it into your cd,but its you who has the last say.

This post has been edited by Greasy Sweet: Mar 4 2007, 06:04 PM

aledi add "Meditation" as your recommendation
if got other music that should add in, faster tell me

but i think many people listen to it before
someone told me that TVB always use this music...
and i also listen to this piece before i download the mp3...

All the music that should be added in is in the list, you just choose which ones you want, and if you don't have the file just tell me so I can send it to you, I'll be online in WLM tommorow and so on.

today i have go to school and ask some of my fren who is interested on Classical Music

i have ask 3 people, and 3 of them said they didnt interested on Classical...
but i still will burn CD to other of the fren, and maybe will promote to junior...

and other things that i have think about is...
how about we burn 2 cd
1st cd is the music that many people might hear before
and then 2nd cd will be the music is very good and harder to understand...

Adagio in G Minor by Albinoni

This post has been edited by victor_code47: Mar 5 2007, 11:08 PM

Nice, I like this piece, it portrays pure sorrow just as Barber's Adagio for strings. Quite a good listen.

The story behind that piece was really sorrowful. I think you could find it in Wikipedia. Wiki : Albinoni.

hey, this is my fav piece too! sad and sorrow feel!

@Greasy Sweet
Mars, The Bringer of Wars
'Waltz of the Flower'

these 2 also famous
thx for the mp3 you send, now listening 1 by 1 and think which one is good

@victor_code47
i didnt found the story behind this piece...
i juz know this music is a sad music...
almost same like 'Moonlight Sonata' + 'Meditation'...

Ok here goes the story:

Albinoni was from a war torn country (can't remember which one Bosnia, Czech, one of those). He was a musician but in his country, there wasn't muych opportunity for music as the life span there was really short. People were hungry and impoverished. Therefore food was a priority.

One day, at the market quare, when the bakery was distributing food to the people in his area, the enemy started shelling (Mortar) the town, the crowd was quite big thus, many people were killed.

Albinoni's love for music made him took his cello (i think) and a chair, and he sat in the middle market square, amidst mortar fire, and played Adagio in G Minor. He channelled his sorrow and pain and suffering of his countrymen and his country into the song.

And miraculously, amidst the shelling, he was not hurt at all.

woh~
like that also can...
from wikipedia

what the war he facing??

@Greasy Sweet
the file you send to me is too small until i can insert like about 70 music...
how to deal with it??

Er no.. i did not get that from wikipedia..

I got this story when i was in my foundation year.. It was doing a summary on the article about him..

So i made an even shorter summary coz those are what i can remember about him hehe

oo
i tot you got this from wikipedia... but wikipedia didnt have this thing...

you got other music story??
i juz know some of the Beethoven Music story(Moonlight Sonata, Fur Elise, Symphony No.3, Symphony No.5, Symphony No.7)
i got the comic version of Beethoven book that talk about Beethoven history

You were able to fit 70mp3 files into 1 cd? impressive. I think 70 is already alot of files, enough just burn it. or you could increase the bitrate of the mp3s to a higher bitrate say:320kb/s.

How much space do you have left in the cd?

This post has been edited by Greasy Sweet: Mar 7 2007, 10:57 PM

juz 460MB...
but there is a problem
juz after i burn it, i notice that there is no "Beethoven's Symphony No.5"...

but still can add it...
and other problem is, i accidentally add a file that is remix version of classical...

but since that i aledi burn
leave it la

Alamak.. haha, nevermind. Lets not make the same mistake for the 2nd cd.
I will list down some great pieces to put into the 2nd one by tommorow. If you still want to make a 2nd cd that is.
