My favourite thing that I like to see represented in music is heartbeats. Be it of love, fear, anxiety... It has just such an emotional appeal

This was a superb video and I actually kept saying birds, birds with every number! I think Mozart's music and especially his music for violin and orchestra always remind me of birds singing a lot.

You forgot to mention two perfect examples of birdsong song in classical music. The first one is Beethoven's 6th Symphony, the 2nd movement. Since this is probably one of the most famous pieces employing birdsong, I am astonished it wasn't even mentioned. The next one is less known, but since it literally incorporates recordings of bird song, it should have been included. I'm referring, of course, to Rautavaara's Cantus Arcticus.

A bit surprised that in the water section there was not Liszt: "Les jeux d'eaux à la Villa d'Este"

I don't know if this is too much to ask for but a list of the pieces mentioned in the video would be really helpful. Discovery is always one of the reasons I watch your videos.

On the topic of water: Anton Rubinstein Sym 2 is the most beautiful example that immediately came to mind. Please give it a listen. One of my favourites.

The first two were in my mental top 5 too, but also "work" is somewhere in there: Rossini's "Largo al factotum" where you hear the frenetic work of the barber jumping from client to client and nearly sounds like the fast scissor cutting hairs; or in Ravel's Bolero which was partly inspired by the rhythm of industrial machines which fascinated him; Verdi's "Chi del gitano i giorni abbella" the anvil chours where they sing "To work, to work! hit it! hammer it!"

I always think of the cello battle in Biber's Battalia à 10 when I think of war depicted in classical music.

I personally find it criminal that Shostakovich was not mentioned in the war section. All of his famous symphonies have military marches, and his 11th was a programatic portrayal of a massacre

Victory at Sea, by Richard Rogers, has some movements that sound like the sea more than any other music I've heard. The entire series is very descriptive. Written to accompany a TV series, it stands on its own as being as, or more, descriptive than the film it accompanies!

I love this channel because It mention Wagner often I love Wagner, i think is one of the greatest composer ever with Bach Mozart Beethoven and Mahler but it seems to me that in general he is valued less

Agree completely he is one of the composers that really got me to dive deeper into symphonic music. Absolutely in my top 5!

Guessed the composer beforehand successfully. Wasn't too hard since with one piece he hits half of the categories.

I was hoping you'd mention Alkan's Funeral March on the Death of a Parrot.
