I'm just interested in what people say... I'm a HUGE Beethoven fan and I love playing his music even though his sonatas can be a b*gger to play, last 20ish bars of his Opus 27 No.2 'Moonlight' sonata - the DREADED third movement. Started learning it at 13, finished learning at 14 but still not perfect...

Hey dude, I absolutely adore Mozart. I play the French Horn, so I've been working on the rondo section of his Horn Concerto number 3. It's tough!!! I haven't learned the entire thing for lack of time, but oh well. He's amazing. It is also my goal to be able to sing "The Queen of the Night" aria from the opera "The Magic Flute" by the end of my senior year. I'm a coloratura soprano, so it's my main challenge. So yeah. Ciao!!!

you've given us a huge time frame! Mozart fits in there, and all the way up through the biggest Romantic opera composers, Verdi and Wagner.
for piano, I have heard many of my colleagues debate Liszt vs Chopin, with Liszt winning on the emotions side, and Chopin on the simply more pianistic to play side. Robert Schumann's works for piano are also so idiosyncratic ( but then he was a bit of a nut case...) and full of technical surprises as well as musical imagery.
Don't limit yourself to a handful. Test them all out. you'll find that this gives you a lot of different points of view to work from.

I like Beethoven as well. Try the Appassionata sonata!

Niccolò Paganini. He wrote the best stuff on violin. Always been a strings fan.
