    Both my parents are musicians, so I heard a lot of classical music during my childhood. But I couldn't get anough of it on Tetris.

    What's been mentioned is solid. I would add the theme and variations on "Carnival of Venice" and Haydn's trumpet concerto as well. [wyntonmarsalisfanboy/]

    Nope, you're right. I copied your list as a starter then, built my own... my bad.

    And if I was going to add one operatic piece, I'd add Nessun Dorma by Bocelli.
