Some kind of guitar song!Www@QuestionHome@Com

That depends!.
I am a professional freelance musician, so it's easy to see I've played a lot of music in my day!.

As far as arrangements in orchestras, My favorite piece to have played was Deborah Monday's For the Star of County Down!. Even though I played it in high school, it is a beautiful piece- the reason I picked up a violin!

I also really enjoyed playing the entire William Tell Overture!. That song has so much variation, it is a lot of fun!.

I could name about 5 other really great pieces, but you only asked for one and I gave you two already!.!.!.

I HATE playing Ode to Joy, only because I've had to play it so many times, it has become annoying!.
I really don't like the Orange Blossom Special, because it has so many damn variations out there!.

I used to play piano a lot, and probably have four favorites: In the Hall of the Mountain King (Grief, "The Peer Gynt Suite"), the third movement of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata, the second movement of the Moonlight Sonata, and Scott Joplin's Magnetic Rag (since the first person mentioned Joplin)!.

Worst!? I couldn't pick one worst, but back when I was taking lessons in high school, I wasn't a big fan of Mozart, or of the Bach Three Part Inventions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My fav piece was a percussion quartet called UNKA!.!.!. two marimbas, a xylophone, and a guiro (weird looking thing you scratch with a stick!.!.!.) all four of us loved it even though we had way different tastes in music!. we struggled through learning it but it all came together at our performance!.!.!. it sounded like carousel music sped up in a video game fashion played at a rock concert as our instructor described it to us!.!.!.

worst was our entire senior year marching band show "under the big top"!.!.!. we had clowns and a cannon, it was so corny that we still get laughed at by peopl who saw our show!.!.!.!. we played this show in 2002!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think it was Peacherine Rag by Scott Joplin (on the piano)!. It was alot of fun to play!. I don't really have a worst song, i think its really fun to learn songs on the piano!. But, i don't really care for the song Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring!. (i think it's spelled like that)!. :DWww@QuestionHome@Com
