Hi everybody.
Just wanted to say that currently I'm playing some concerts with the symphony orchestra from one of the universities I work with, and Tchaikovsky's "Slavonic March" (a.k.a. "Marche Slave") is included in the repertoire. This is an awesome piece of music and it has several episodes that make me feel like headbanging and shaking my double bass while playing my part.  Any classical pieces that make you feel like that? Thank you in advance for sharing!  |

Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries is worthy of mention, too.
