Apropos of nothing, I love when a classical music piece slowly builds energy to a frenetic, driving motion; barely constrained chaos that sets my heart pounding and my blood nearly to a boil. Khachaturian's 3rd Symphony starts off languid but oh my, don't be fooled. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKCt...

IMHO no one does “classical emo” better that the Russians! And I mean that in the best possible way.

This is how I feel like the extremely weird and hard to describe "Brothers in Arms" theme from Mad Max: Fury Road. Starts out electronic, slowly transitions to kettle drums and strings, builds, soars, percussion drops out, then you get 4 layers of rousing patriotism and "LET'S DO THIS!" feeling.

Ravel: La Valse. Starts politely, ends stark raving bonkers.
If you ever find yourself not quite in the mood for classical music, this is also a feature of many pieces by the post-rock group Godspeed You! Black Emperor
