PLEASE HELP!
I am trying to find out that romantic (not to mention cliched) piece of music that plays in movies and tv when someone falls in love and enters somewhat of a dreamlike state. Everyone has heard it before, or at least that one phrase with the sweeping strings. Maybe it's not a real classical work - maybe it's just those five bars (because I've never heard the whole thing), but I have to know what it is and who composed it - it's driving me nuts! Any help with this would be much appreciated...

Or just buy the cd!
Probably it's the Love Theme heard inside Tchaikovsky's "Romeo & Juliet".
I agree
Other romantic themes:
Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto. The opening bars are repeatedly used for comic effect in the movie "The Seven Year Itch" with Marlyn Monroe. I think the lyrical theme from the first movement and third movement are also used in the movie.
(The second movement is especially romantic.)
One of the variations from Rachmaninoff's Variations on a Theme by Paganini was the theme to the romantic movie "Somewhere in Time." (?)
Ravel's Bolero was the theme to the movie "10" with Bo Derek.
Pachelbel's Canon and Albinoni's Adagio in G minor are good.
It sounds like you are looking for background music for romance. If so, I would recommend Chopin.
Nocturne in D flat major Op. 27 no. 2
Nocturne in E flat major Op. 55 no. 2
the second movement of his piano concerto in E minor. The orchestra adds warmth to this nocturne-like slow movement.
Brahms
Intermezzo in A major
For passion, nothing beats the Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde

You're probably right, but the other thought that occrurs to me is the middle movement of Mozart's 21st, the Elivira Madigan concerto, with that long slo-mo of the lovers running toward each other.johnQpublic wrote:Probably it's the Love Theme heard inside Tchaikovsky's "Romeo & Juliet".
