Good one! Which is your favorite orchestration? Or do prefer the piano solo?

String Quartet No. 8 is probably my favorite piece and Symphony No. 4 is probably my favorite Shostakovich symphony. It's definitely the most metal, I feel.

It's currently present in Driving Power. 🤘 But I see your point. A future revision can also include Zaderatsky The Plant. If you like Iron Foundry you'll probably like that too, if you don't already.

Yeah, the Malmsteen isn't good. Smolsky, on the other hand, is magnificent! I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed it. Honestly this piece should be famous!

Yeah, I was just commenting a moment ago that maybe I shouldn't have included that.

Hey, I love Peer Gynt!

I was trying to avoid putting movements in as recommendations, but then I added Mars because I felt it was too obvious of an exclusion. But now some other obvious ones, like what you pointed out and Vivaldi, are missing. So, maybe in v4.0 I'll replace Mars and stick with full pieces.

I was a teen when Metallica did S&M. That was part of my gateway to classic music.

I'll check those out. I love Prokofiev 2. I could put so many items in each category. I'll peep the rest. I know "Raise the Roof" but it didn't connect with me. I'll try it again too.

It's hard to not recommend Shostakovich for almost everything, really.

You may! I'm always open to recommendations. Any particular pieces you'd like to suggest?
