[B]At different times in my life, the answer(s) would have been different:

40 years ago: Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five, "Hotter than That", 1927; 4th Movement of Mozart's "Jupiter Symphony"

30 years ago: "Cum Sanctu Spititu" from Bach's B Minor Mass; final fugue from Bach's "Musical Offering".

20 years ago: Last movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, expecially the transition from the 3rd to the 4th movement

10 years ago: Third movement of "Moonlight Sonata"; Adagio from "Les Adieux" (Beethoven Sonata No. 26); Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five, "Hotter than That"

Today: Wotan's Farewell to Brunnehilde, the orchestral portion, from Wagner's "Ring"; "Siegfried Idyll", Wagner


Now I have GOT to hear "Hotter than That!"

Seid umschlungen, Millionen.
Diesen Kuss der ganzen Welt!

Be embraced, Millions.
Take this kiss for all the world!

Please don't get the wrong idea Chaszz, but that succession of sounds I just listened to could never have come from the European cultural context and shows the huge gulf that lies between Europe and America in matters of musical taste...
