It's time for some of the most cheerful pieces in classical music! Which one did you enjoy most?

Very weird that Brahms' and Mozart's "happiest" pieces are in minor keys. It is even more ironic that 98% of Mozart's composition are in major keys, and somehow you chose one of the like *6* pieces of his that are in a minor key

[JhnnS]

The truth is that there are some composers who have happier pieces, like Mozart who has the Piano Sonata No.16, Handel who has The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Liszt who has La Campanella and Brahms who has Wiengenlied.

I'm happy that you finally went for the real portraits!

[lindildeev]

Not bad. Here's my personal choices.
Vivaldi: "Gloria, in Excelsis Deo" from the Gloria in D major
Bach: "Jesus bleibet meine Freude"
Mozart: "Hallelujah" (it's from one of his cantatas)
Rossini: "Largo al' factotum" (how could you forget him?)
Liszt: "Chorus Mysticus" from the Faust Symphony (that's actually more than just happiness, that's pure joy)
Chopin: Waltz n°1 (a very happy little piece)
Brahms: finale of the violin concerto
Tchaikovsky: the march from The Nutcracker

So that you fellow people know, this isn't their happiest pieces, this is their most popular pieces

[FranciescoGallo]

The fact that there is not Chopin says it all

[Henri.d.Olivoir]

Very weird that Brahms' and Mozart's "happiest" pieces are in minor keys. It is even more ironic that 98% of Mozart's composition are in major keys, and somehow you chose one of the ONLY 6 pieces of his that are in a minor key

[NEONXZ]

My eyes popped out of their sockets when I saw Beethoven's name LOL

[ernestomartinezmartinez]

I think the title of the video should be his most popular works

[camcamgamer]

Why pick Ronda Alla Turca for Mozarts, pick like piano sonata number 16 or something

[andrewbaker]

Bizet's Carmen Suite No. 1 Les Toredors (Overture) is my Favorite Classical Song. Thank You for that.

[caoshengzi]

Congratulations on capturing a rare opportunity of Beethoven smiling

[Porgstormgamingbli]

Beethoven be like: happiest piece, just barely smiles.

[DevenBisht]

I love Liszt’s Hungarian rhapsody no.6

[karrotkake]

this is kind of inaccurate imo. like hungarian dance no 5? i get that its one of those more upbeat minor key pieces, but i dont think that makes it "happy". and rondo alla turca? its basically just composers' most famous pieces at that point.

[Starwarsman-vt]

0:01 4 seasons spring
0:32 hallejuela
1:03 Turkish rondo
1:35 ode to joy
2:11 Turkish rapsody
2:59 annen- polken
3:47 Brindisi
4:08 cancan
5:03 Hungarian dance
5:37 careman overtutre

[PeleMaradona-sy]

Turkish March is definitely not my happiest piece, it must be something like piano sonata no. 16 or Eine Kleine Natchmusik

[laurelmentor]

This is great work, although I have to disagree with Mozart's Rondo being cheerful. I would love to see a video about the top 10 most humorous pieces of music, or musical jokes.

[ethanbrowncomposer]

That’s definitely not Mozart’s happiest piece lol. Eine Klein Nactmusik even is much happier.
