What is your favorite piece for strings? I'm wanting to add to the home library to further inspire my budding cellist daughter.
Personally, I'm crazy about Dvorak's Serenade for Strings, closely followed by Grieg's Holberg Suite and Schubert's Trout Quintet. How about you? |

I must admit I am not very original with my preference but my favorite music piece for strings is Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings. Very sad melody... makes me feel so good though!

Well, many that would be considered cliche I guess, so I'll just post this one since it's not that widely known, yet beautiful imo. From the Ragusan (Republic of Ragusa, Dubrovnik today) composer Luka Sorkocevic:
