Get ready for the 25 most famous pieces of classical music! Which one is your favorite?

[thevidkoproductions]

I adore Mozart for the incredible ability to be epic and happy and so sad and vulnerable, while also being incredibly catchy and easy to remember but being also very interesting and complex

[Neofolis]

I think this shows that the only thing we can tell from how many views a piece has had on YouTube is how many views it's had on YouTube.

Chopin Nocturne, Op.9, No.2 always makes me feel like I'm standing in front of a floor-ceiling window at a high ceiling penthouse living room overlooking the city, with minimalistic furnishing, while wearing a elegant white dress holding a glass of Château Mercian, Mariko Omnis 2018. Along side is a steinway grand piano that's playing this classical song.

I was once a cowboy/country boy. I felt those long haired (yes, it was that long ago!) guys were something to look down on. Then I went to Ricks College and took humanities from Ruth Barras. She changed my life. We had to listen to some of these classics. Once I listened to a Nocturn (probably from Chopin), and I felt the night. A few years later when I had a cassette player I got some classical pieces. I was depressed one day and had pulled over. Beethoven's 7th was playing. It was the 3rd movement. By the time it was over the depression was gone. Thank you Ruth Barras, thank you Beethoven, and thank all you great musicians! They've all passed on but they know when we listen to them. Thank you people for putting this on.

[fulloffool]

I am just speechless. Those music are so amazing. We are very lucky to hear those legendary composers

[majorsynthqed]

Shocked that only one Chopin composition is on this list, especially since he took the #1 spot on this list.

[ashkenaze]

Waay different with mine. At least it should've included Bach's Tocata-Fugue and Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fairy.

[sinandemirci]

number 12 and 11(fur elise and turkish march) could also be number 2 and 1 for a lot of people.

Being a classical pianist myself, I know all of the pieces on your list, and I love all of them! No comparison, but in my heart, Chopin will always be the best!

[ethancolmancomposer]

Honestly, all these works are amazing and the peak of human achievement. They all deserve attention. But there is so many more pieces that deserve your attention as well!
