Eddy: "99 million! Almost 1 billion!"

And this is why Eddy's a musician, not a mathematician

[nicolaspachecoarango]

Pachabell's Canon in D is only 9th because not everyone is getting married

[ankurage]

Don't get it wrong; it's not that these pieces are overrated, they're getting the attention they deserved; the others are underrated

TwoSet: * forgets Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 with 175 million views *
Chopin: * sad Eb major noises *

[gianellab.]

Mozart's Lacrimosa is *so* strange. It's creepy, depressing, epic, soothing and disturbing, all at once. One of my absolute favorites.

[sungod]

I’m surprised Für Elise doesn’t make it

[DoctorGentleman]

I was surprised not to see Fur Elise, Handel's Messiah, Nessun Dorma, Carmen or Carmina Burana in there. Or of course you guys' favourite Bumblebee

“Air on the G string” could be the name for a Hiphop song

[vastrab]

Chopin: "Am I a joke to you?"

[AnAmericanComposer]

I uploaded Four Seasons right at the beginning of when YouTube began allowing uploads longer than 15 minutes. No more part 1, part 2 nonsense. I decided to upload that because it was my favorite thing to listen to at the time. It's incredible how many people it's touched, and I love reading comments about how it helps people through their day.

It unfortunately pulled a ton of traffic away from my original music but I could never imagine taking it down.

I don't care how overplayed it is, Ode to Joy is freaking iconic. Chills every time.

[vanivashisht]

I totally didn't expect Shostakovich Waltz 2 to be here... It surely deserves it though...

[MrWhangdoodles]

Eddy: talking about Four Seasons.
Editor San: Plays Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.

[dorothearussell]

Listen to Vivaldi's 4 seasons on Baroque instruments. Now you can really hear the thunder, the joyful spring winds and the summer heat. It makes such a difference. I don't mind too much for other renaissance/baroque pieces, but for this one, it's amazing.

Nocturne op 9 no 2 with 175 mil views: Am I a joke to you?

[OutbackBoy]

- "Moonlight is... OK."
- Doesn't play 3rd movement 😔

[richardkovacs]

The fact Vivaldi died basically unknown after his popularity earlier in his life, and remained forgotten until the recoring era, now THAT's what you call a comeback.

[Balphore]

Do you realise how much making us hear the first and second movements of the Moonlight Sonata without ANY glimpse of the third is SACRALIGEOUS ?!
