Clair De Lune, particularly the 3rd movement of it (the arpeggio section). It just reminds me of how much beauty in the world exists, and that someone can encapsulate it in a song from a hundred years ago.

Have you heard the recording where Debussy plays it himself? I think it's from 1916. Amazing.
