Re: ...the piece that lured me into classical music...

Would you believe von Suppe: Light Cavalry Overture?
When I was very young I had an aunt who would come over to our
house on Sunday afternoons. She usually brought classical
records to play and my brother and I were made to sit and listen
to that stuff by the promise that if we were good and listened to
all the things we didn't like, she would play our one favorite
piece with the cavalry charge and everybody getting killed and all that.
Wow! Was that fun galloping around to the music. After a few years of
that, I was hooked.  Seems like only yesterday...
