Favorite (s) from classical music?

Pretty much brand new to looking into this kind of music, some reference would be nice.

Sure! First question: how finicky are you on what you call "Classical"? Is Baroque okay? Romantic? I realize it's not likely if you're just getting into it, but there are people out there who SERIOUSLY look down their noses at you if you cross those lines, and my understanding is far from a technical level. Do you consider Aaron Copland to be "Classical"?

Actually, let me take it back a step. Head over to https://archive.org/details/pjr8file/Offenbach+-+Infernal+Galop.mp3 and give track 9 a listen. Would calling that "Classical" make your head explode? If so, you're beyond my ability to help.

Haha I'm new to the point where I pretty much only know the commonly played ones like from movies. Track 9 I dont see why it wouldn't be classical

When I was little, I had a Disney album (maybe a two album set) that was a collection of classical selections. Some of the pieces included The William Tell Overture, The Hall of the Mountain King, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, the 1812 Overture, The Grand Canyon Suite. Great stuff.
Beethoven and Wagner are a lot of fun. Dynamic.
Big orchestral pieces are super inspiring to me. I rarely get excited over chamber music or solo piano stuff.
I have to admit, though, that I have a limited knowledge of classical music but some of it is absolutely fantastic.

Yea my knowledge in nonexistent but I love finding new music I enjoy

If you're not familiar with them, look up the ones I mentioned. They are really inspiring.
You may recognize the William Tell Overture as the theme from the Lone Ranger TV show.
