Default Convincing song
If somebody was listening to rock / pop all their life and had never heard classical music before, what is the one classical song you would play to them?

Probably this one. It isn't the most exciting song, but it's so achingly beautiful:

For no particular reason besides for this being one of the greatest compositions of all time.
