brother, I never in my life knew that Mozart's lacrimosa would be his most seen. I swore it would be eine kleine nachtmusik.

I'm glad it's lacrimosa, lacrimosa was the perfect song not finished by Mozart, who deserves this placement

[JAndrade]

75M Schubert - Ave Maria
71M Saint-Saëns - Dance Macabre
70M Ravel - Boléro

Who was expecting Für Elise and Turkish March?

[caterscarrots]

I wasn't sure at all what the most viewed Beethoven piece would be, like I knew it was one of 4 pieces, but didn't know which one it would be. But I knew it had to be one of these 4:

Fifth Symphony First Movement
Ninth Symphony Finale "Ode to Joy"
Fur Elise
Moonlight Sonata First Movement

[ksncolt]

I never knew Brahms wrote THE lullaby song! Crazy.

[OmnipresentPotato]

Obviously, Bach's most popular piece is his Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.

[snejpu]

I believe Fur Elise is the most famous, if we take door bells and playing toys for children around the world into account. :-)

[napoleon]

Imagine getting million of views with classical music, that would be beautiful ahha

[kininiwong]

I mean who can blame them? Winter by Vivaldi is an absolute BANGER!

[OziCastle]

Can you do the evolution of Scriabin as it would be interesting to see his change. And I bet you others would be interested too!

[COVID-eecl]

Please, make an evolution of Vivaldi's MUSIC.
Videos are wonderful and very interesting ❤

[gagegarner]

How did none of Beethoven’s symphonies make it in? Nor Fur Elise? Absolutely bizarre. Where are you getting your information from?

[smartalex]

Chopin: Gah, Vivaldi is catching up!
Vivaldi: *250 Million Views*
Chopin: Oh, no!

[lucastournier]

Vivaldi mérite sa place, c'est un génie indéniable.

[alexmalai]

I’m pretty sure that “Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565” Is Bach’s Most Famous Piece

[laurelmentor]

When I took German in college, we leaned all the prepositions by singing to the Blue Danube by Strauss.
"aus ausser bei mit nach seit von zu". I wonder how many german students know the Blue Danube because of this?

[Aleksandr_Skrjabin]

"Chopin really made it in his introvert life"

[WD_GX]

i've heard all of those pieces and knew their composers but except 2: the orchestral suite no 3 in d minor II Air by J.S.Bach, and the turandot, SC 91, act III, Nessun Dorma, by Giacomo Puccini.
