Canon in D (hardcore, punk, rock, classic, quote)

The Canon is gorgeous, but its GOT to be Jean-Francois Paillard's recording (everyone else butchers it IMO). Look it up on Amazon...

There's a moment near the end that recurs about three times where there's like a suspended fourth against something else-- I'm not sure, but that one split second is exquisite & brings tears to my eyes...

Greatpiece for sure, i prefer Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, always been my favourite.

For the most beautiful piece of classical music:
Try the opening movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony 6.

It's a beautiful piece however, it can't beat the 9th.

I really like the piece. However, it's over used all the time for weddings and such which kind of takes away from its awesomness for me.

Canon is a pretty impressive and extremely elegant piece of music, but I'm not entirely sure if I'd place it as the most beautiful ever composed. Of course it's a classic in every single meaning of the word, but there are a good many lilting pieces out there by a good number of composers that can match the atmosphere. Although I'm not entirely sure if any get the overall effect as Canon due to how easily it's recognized.

I definitely love Canon, one of the best one hit wonders in history. Chopin has some really beautiful pieces though. Don't forget Debussy's Claire de Lune or Mozart's Fantasy in D minor. Those could definitely compete with Canon.

I'd have to put it way up there, but claire de lune is better IMO. Of course they're two different styles and tones.
