Classical guitar piece is sweet and pleasing to listen, but to play them it's like damn hard... Fine plucking just drove up my adrenaline and gets high. LOL, am i the only one here?

I recently listen a lot of violin too, because my sister is learning it

Edit : any other classical guitar piece to recommend? i just search it on youtube, and realised it's the song my friend play in front of my all the while.

i also agree with what you said... not very like Mozart music...
Mozart's music is really... can say as easy and simple
thats why his work is many classical music player amateur favorite

if want the complex music, you can try Beethoven, Brahms, and also Rachmaninoff music
Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is really complex
Brahms's Paganini Variation, Symphony No. 1 and No. 4
Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 and No. 3

do you have anything that want to add??
you got any nice violin music to introduce??

If you wanna search on youtube,i would like to recommend you to try these songs

Agustin Barrios
1)julia florida
2)la catedral
3)una linosna por el amor de dios

Francisco tarrega
1)gran val
2)rosita(polka)
3)adelita
4)recuedos de la alhambra
5)capricho arabe

Luise walker
1)kleine romance

Lorenzo Barcelata
1)Maria Elena

Giulio Regondi
1)norturne,opus 19

All of these pieces is very famous,you can try to search them on youtube.

That's whole different story, concerto and symphony edi which involve whole orchestra. I used to listen more 1 or 2 instrument songs.

I cant recall list of violin piece, but things like can-can, js-bach's air, carmen, spring vivaldi, Humoreske from Antonin Dvorak is rather popular and always use.

i think even compare symphonic work between Mozart and other Romantic era composer work
the Mozart one also looks simple that them...

the can-can is part of Orpheus in the Underworld composed by Offenbach
but i tot that is orchestral work??

Bach air... very famous, very soft...
Carmen have many part... can specify which part is good?? (except if you recommend whole piece )
Spring by Vivaldi... a very nice violin concerto, especially on the 1st mvt
Humoresque by Dvorak is also a nice piece!!

btw, i recommend you all Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 9, 1st mvt
it is also call Kreutzer Sonata

@BarouqeMeng
how about this??
Julian Bream - Benjamin Britten 'Nocturnal' Op. 70 "Passacaglia"

Kreutzer Sonata is like a mini concerto for violin

mini concerto??
it is sonata for violin and piano... maybe it sounds like a concerto to you becoz of the piano...

oh ya
suddenly remember a music work that is very complex too
Mahler - Symphony No. 8
also known as 'Symphony of A Thousand'

Prefer chopin's sonata...more soothing....

which Chopin sonata??
can recommend some??

New recommendation from me:
1.) Brahms - Symphony No. 1
2.) Brahms - Symphony No. 2
3.) Brahms - Symphony No. 3
4.) Brahms - Symphony No. 4

Brahms have compose 4 symphony, and all of his symphony is great!!
