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

[@passwordsecurity8900]

Beethoven's happiest piece and most joyful classical music ode to joy ' 1:36 ' is in d minor the most saddest and depressing key compare it to Mozart's dies irae and lacrimosa, Handel's sarabande and bach's toccata and fugue which are also in d minor

[@orangecloudsonanindigoblue9786]

probably the happiest work by Mozart is the Le Nozze di Figaro Overture and by Brahms is the Hungarian Dance No. 6. Likewise, I think that the finale of that same Liszt Rhapsody is much happier, and even euphoric, slightly surpassing in that aspect to the second.

[@Henri.d.Olivoir]

@@passwordsecurity8900 This might disappoint you... I am very sorry to say: the Ode to Joy is in D *major*. The symphony starts in D minor, that is its tonic, but it modulates on that movement

[@Henri.d.Olivoir]

@@orangecloudsonanindigoblue9786 I agree with everything

[@zhcpiano_score6896]

@@Henri.d.Olivoir haha nice discovering,maybe mozart's most happiest piece is his Minuet which he composed at around 6 years old, he didn't expect he will meet the death 30 years later when he was young:(

[@J0h4nnS]

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.

[@mariotonovsky5599]

Campanella is in a minor key... Grand galop chromatique is better

[@chillmemes5865]

La Campanella?

[@leglz3102]

for mozart it should be piano concerto n15 III. allegro

I say Mozart: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Handel: Hallelujah, Liszt: Un Sospiro, Brahms: the same as @J0h4nnS.

[@DanielGonzalez-sb8mx]

La Campanella me suena como si la estuviera tocando el diablo lol

[@lindildeev5721]

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

[@andrewbaker5800]

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

Terrific selection! After listening, I went to CD library and pulled the complete version of each one.

There are some distinct advantages to being retired, and having a wife who still works. So if anyone ever tells you that this kind of music isn't powerful enough influence people's behavior, send him to me

[@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.

[@OppenheimerDestroyerofwo-bj5ie]

Turkish march is in a major, but the main theme and the middle of the development section are pretty chromatic. Its definitely not his most cheerful piece though.

[@Henri.d.Olivoir]

@@OppenheimerDestroyerofwo-bj5ie Not actually. The sonata is in A major, but this movement specifically has A minor as its main tonality; it modulates to A major in a recurring section and in the end, but the main theme and development follows the key of A minor

[@RubenJavierTovarEsparza]

I don't see how that's a problem: I know that what's considered happy is subjective. But in my opinion, not all happy pieces are major, nor are all melancholic pieces in minor. In my personal opinion, a piece in A minor is identical to C major. And the only reason why minor is associated with sadness is the composers' faults.

[@Henri.d.Olivoir]

@@RubenJavierTovarEsparza I do disagree with you. Generally speaking, all cultures that had access to the traditional system of tonality have associated minor with sadness and major with joy, and that is not only due to the connection between them. You see, the 3rd degree of the major scale, the so-called major third, because it alone makes a chord major, is a natural component that resounds when the tonic note is played. This is called an overtone. This is also the case with the dominant note. To quickly explain it, when the tonic is played, dominant resounds first and then its mediant, or, 3rd degree. Thus, our brains are inclined to finding pleasure on the major chord, it's stable, structured, and natural. The minor chord, on the other hand, is less so, because it's 3rd degree is flattened, thus, generating a more tense and restless sound, but not as tense as a diminished chord, thus, we linked it to sadness. The same happens to scales, in which the order of tones defines whether it is sad or not. It is much like a story; we can have: "they were alone, then they were happily together" (happy) or "they were happily together, then they were alone" (sad). It is the same 2 short phrases, but the order is extremely relevant to the content of the story. I do agree with you that major keys can be sad and that minor can be happy, but this should not be taken as a rule of thumb, but rather an exception. Pieces in A minor and in C major are not the same. They use the tones and chords of their scale extremely differently, which changes everything. Not to mention some techniques that are only used in minor keys, such as the harmonic scale

[@RubenJavierTovarEsparza]

​@@Henri.d.OlivoirI personally don't really agree with that very long explanation (thank you), primarily on that major 3rds and minor 3rds evoke specific feelings of happiness and sadness. The way I see it is that if scales use the same notes in the same intervals, just in different order, it doesn't really matter. I feel like it's more the composers fault that major is associated with joy and minor with sadness. For example, Alla Turca starts in A minor and then A major. But what if it becomes C major and F# minor? While I don't think such thing exists, I feel like it would be the exact same. Not to show off, but I think that myself disagreeing with you is because I have perfect pitch. Anyways, my point is that in my personal opinion, the mood of major or minor is completely subjective. Also, if sad pieces in major and happy pieces in minor are an exception, there are many, many exceptions.

Could you do the top 10 or 20 most difficult piano pieces from with ofcourse the hardest as last, to way to measure which are the hardest is by the amount of people who can play the piece, like there is a short amount of people who can play Scarbo from Ravel or Balakirev's Islamey, you have got to search for the exact number of people.

Yes, I totally agree and it must also be the people who can play those pieces well and not totally butcher them.

[@Aleksandr_Skrjabin]

@@laurelmentor404 You are here again! And indeed it's only called playing a piece if you can play it without having to think about it, that you feel technically where to be with your hands and being able to play it with expression... However a piece like Scarbo, I'm not sure if that can be played without consciousness of technical play can you?

[@laurelmentor404]

@@Aleksandr_Skrjabin yes, that should be the definition of being able to play a piece.
