Even though it's overplayed, I still think that the 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata is fire. Beethoven is becoming one of my favorite composers. I just saw his third Symphony "Eroica" performed, and it blew me away. I can understand how this piece transformed the classical symphony into the beginnings of the romantic symphony, thereby ushering in a new era of music. What an innovative genius!

[kevinkruger]

Chopin really was a musical prodigy and genius. Alot of his work was done in his teen years.

[elsaesteves]

Anything by Chopin, every Single piece Chopin wrote is a masterpiece. His 1st Rondó is Perfection, wrote it when he was 15, his piano concerto n1 when he was 19, so what can I say, Chopin was The Chosen One ❤

[chamber]

I expected chopin to appear multiple times, but not this many. And on top of all that he's no. 1. Truly a genius

[classicalmusic]

I was expecting Fur Elise to be the most viewed but I am very happy that Chopin has the most views!
Edit: thanks for all the likes!

[ИванИванов-яын]

Debussy's music is the most different and extremely beautiful

My personal favourite ❤️

[shaminderkaur]

Chopin and Beethoven are my two favourites. Everything they did was iconic ❤❤

[NH-zhmp]

My love for Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca, the first piece ever that brought me into this wonderful classical music world

[alphascorpii]

Yes, these are the most popular tunes, and there is a reason why : they were written by the most talented musicians, they are emotional, they touch you so deeply.

[zezinhoborges]

Today ( 04/01/2023 ) Rachmaninoff would be completing 150 years.
Genius!

[Camcoum-ss]

Ah! Nocturne in E-flat major, my favorite piece.
It just relates how life is; the difficult and better times.
The great romantic Chopin, just like I would describe myself (maybe a bit too much).

[huangsiyuan]

Cant believe how Choping lived such a short life, but managed to produce so many beautiful pieces of music. Truely a legend

[satvikellendula]

My two favourite composers are Chopin and Beethoven

[damhilman]

used to play nocturne in E flat major all the time, it's simple but always brings tears to my eyes

[henrykaspar]

Nice list, with some surprises:

- Chopin: I would have expected the revolution etude op 10/12 and the heroic polonaise op 53 in the most popular pieces. Also a bit sad that none of the ballades made the list

- Liszt: Maybe these are his most popular piano pieces, but certainly not his best. The pinnacle of his piano work is the b minor sonata

- Beethoven: twice the Moonlight and fur Elise. Maybe that’s right in terms of popularity, but Pathetique, Appassionata or Hammerklavier are more significant works

- pity that no Schubert or Schumann made the list - Wanderer-Fantasy, or Carneval

- Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky would also seem a red hot favorite

- Finally, absolutely no Bach? Well tempered piano, Goldberg variations, Italian concerto? Indeed a bit surprised.

Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 17, Op. 31 No. 2 ‘The Tempest’ is my all time favourite composition! So beautiful 😁

It's crazy how chopin wrote all of those almost in 1 year

[tommcallister]

One can't help but wonder how much of today's popular music will still be getting played in two hundred years...
