It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Which classical music piece do you have the most copies of?

A good PC audio playback program is great for answering this sort of question.

Mozart Symphony No. 40 (G minor, K.550) - 24 recordings
Mozart Symphony No. 41 K. 551 - 20 recordings
Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor - 16 recordings
Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21 - 14 recordings
other Mozart PC in lesser numbers

Beethoven Symphony No. 5, 7 - 15 recordings
Beethoven Symphony No. 1, 3 - 14 recordings
Beethoven Symphonies 2,4,6,7,8,9 - 11 to 13 recordings

Haydn Symphony 104 - 20 recordings
Haydn Symphony 101 - 18 recordings
Haydn Symphony 102 - 13 recordings
Haydn Symphony 99 - 10 recordings
Haydn Symphony 100 - 12 recordings
Haydn Symphony 103 - 11 recordings
Haydn Symphonies 93-98 - 9 to 12 recordings
Haydn Symphony No. 88, 92 - 15 recordings
Haydn Symphony No. 82-87 - 10 to 11 each
The numbers get smaller for other Haydn symphonies

Brahms Symphonies 1-4 - 11 to 14 each


Dvorak Slavonic Dances - 14 recordings
Dvorak Symphony No. 9 - 13 recordings
fewer recordings of Symphonies 6-8

Lesser numbers of Mendelssohn and Schubert Symphonies

I searched for a long time for performances that fit my notion of the ideal. Then I switched to looking for other interesting performances.

I'm now buying mostly used CDs cheap from Amazon Marketplace sellers to satisfy my more marginal interests.
