Glad this question was asked. Gave me a chance to search for the musical composition on YouTube and found links to several videos which can be explored later.
Most people think Mozart or Beethoven or Bach. My pick? Debussy: Clair de lune
Although? This is the "standard" per Europeans or Americans.
- Are these composers so well-known in the non-Western countries?
- If not, who are the revered classical composers?
(tsn)
For me that would be Mozart's Turkish March, which is so energetic. Do you have any favorite classical favorite track?

I listen a lot of chamber and piano music, and it is a hard choice. If you were asking for a symphony, my preferred is Brahms 4th ; Beethoven op. 18 n° 1 for a string quartet ; for 2 hands piano, Satie Gymnopédie n°1 ; and for 4 hands piano Brahms again with his Hungarian dance n° 5. But it is really a hard choice, and I regret to have to forget Chopin, Mussorgsky and Schumann for the piano. And I forgot opera : it would be without any hesitation Bizet Carmen for me.

@Rosekitty , @SIMPLYD - I watch a lot of cartoons; especially the old ones. Much of the background music is classical.

@cmoneyspinner I am thinking that I was introduced to Rachmaninoff in a movie, Somewhere in Time.

That's a good one too. Had to learn to play that on the piano when I was a kid. My music teacher liked Chopin. Don't play piano any more. Regret that I stopped. But one of my daughters plays, so that's nice.

I am not well educated in the classic pieces. I think I like Rachmaninoff.

I think my favorite classical music piece is the "Spring" movement of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.
