I have several suggestions (for which I've provided links): 4).Bach - Brandenburg Concertos. Franckly (a composer pun), all the concertos (arranged version) are quite excellent for string orchestra... Those are very good choices and I'd recommend them as well. Of course, I'd also have to recommend ...

I'd say the Star Wars Battle Theme is a brilliant composition for a movie scene.

Maybe I'll try that sometime! It sounds like it would work.

...many of them see playing piano as an annoying thing they have to do to please their parents... I totally agree. Music is not just another subject from school we must endure. I hate that parents would make kids play an instrument. The best pianists I know weren't forced to play for the most part....

Bach (C.P.E.): Symphonies, Wq. 183 - all very surprising, except No. 4, which is just nice

I must say I agree with you.
Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54 has an awesome ending.

There is also another neat notation software that is capable of such things. Its called Musescore. Its what I use.

Its obnoxious! But anyways, it sounds chaotic in a way.

Just be virtuostic! Play a melody you want to write, and after hearing it, write it.

I agree with 'sbeckmesser'. Handel's choruses are awesome.

Seiji Ozaw is one of my favorites.

My favourite climax is in Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Marche Slave" in the introduction to the main theme.

I must agree with everyone else's compliments. IMSLP is the most convenient music site I know of. In search of helpful resources for public domain resources, I stumbled across IMSLP, and was surprised at what I saw. I thank those who have contributed to this website!

Aram Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance" is definitely the most peculiar song I've heard.
