Favorite classical music piece?

I don't mean it literally, but you'll always find at least one beautiful aria in their work that haunts the whole piece in the same way. They always strike me as reminiscent of Nessun Dorma, but I think that is just good art imitating great art.אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

Clair de Lune is probably overplayed but always a favorite. All of Chopin's nocturnes. Carnival of the Animals: Aquarium. For some strange reason, Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique captures my fancy.
Heard A Fuoco by Ludovico Einaudi?I'm not here anymore.

I can not even pick a composer. Maybe Mozart and Hayden. But that omits too many great composers.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Favorites off the top of my head, nothing too offbeat:
1) Pachelbel's "Kanon in D" is just a great 17th century pop song.
2) Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" ditto for the 18th century.
3) Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is spooky.
4) Orff's "O Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi" is a favorite choral piece.
5) Mussorgsky's "The Great Gate of Kiev" is majestic.
6) Beethoven's "Fur Elise" is sad. I wonder what she thought of it.
7) Vidor's "Toccata" was fun to play on handbells.
