[@Ozalinka]

Hey dear Karavitis. Thank you so much for the list above. But I can not copy the list. Any help?

[@JohnVKaravitis]

@@Ozalinka That's strange. I can copy it to both WORD and Excel. In WORD, however, everything is basically "in a single row," but you could eventually "straighten it out" with a little bit of time and effort. In Excel, it's one row per music selection, but the timestamp and everything else remain in a single cell. With either "Data/Text to Columns" you can fix this, or else, with a little bit of time and effort. Good luck.

[@arc1_228]

I like Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (Full with cannons)

[@patriciareilly530]

When I was a freshman in college, and knowing nothing about classical music, I decided I would try to understand why it was considered so wonderful by so many people. I went to the music library and randomly picked an album off the shelf with the intent of playing it over and over until I got it. The music was Mozart's No. 40. On the twelfth playing I burst into tears. Been hooked ever since.

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

Symphony No. 40 might be his best work. But Mozart has so many... his 'Lacrimosa' is amazing as well... perhaps the most hauntingly beautiful piece of music I've ever heard.

How could there only be one piece by Chopin?

[@lederhudler]

Nice collection, but I agree that any top 100 "classical" collections should have included at least a half-dozen Chopin tunes: Prelude in A Major, "Raindrop" Prelude, Nocturne, Etude in E Major, one or both famous Polonaises, etc.Isn't the Debussy tune known as "Claire de Lune"? Always one of my mom's favorites.

[@lederhudler]

Oh, and how could I have forgotten Fantasy Impromptu and Minute Waltz - two other Chopin favorites - both well-known.Also noticeably missing - Offenbach's Bacarolle from Contes d'Hoffman.

My favorite by Mozart was the "Marriage of Figaro", Sousa marches were a favorite as well, Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite", Wagner's, "Ride of the Valkyries", and Strauss'. "The Blue Danube"..

[@lederhudler]

I'm a Sousa fan, too. Liberty Bell March is perhaps my next-favorite after Stars & Stripes Forever. But not as well-known. Strauss Jr is another favorite composer. My favorite (maybe besides An der schoenen blauen Donau) is Roses from the South. It's fun to dance to. Tales of the Vienna Woods, Morning Papers, Thousand and One Nights, Wiener Blut, Artist's Life - ah, I should have been born about 1900.

[@GerryBolger]

Mozarts whole 'Requiem in D minor' is the most sublime, heavenly piece of music ever created in my opinion. And where to start with Tchaikovsky? He's the musical equivalent of valium. Calm, relaxing, and beautiful. 'Swan Lake' might be a bit obvious but it touches my soul every time I hear it. I would have liked Paganini to be on the list but that just my preference...

Besides the John Williams omission at the end as the composer of the Imperial March...there was also an incorrect authorship attributed to Richard Strauss=The Radetzsky March is Johann Strauss Sr....otherwise a good representation of classical music in the media, although I would add to Saint Saens The Swan and Danse Macabre and to Mendelssohn The opening of 4th Italian Symphony and his Violin Concerto too

[@JeffreyAllanBackowski]

thank you

[@michals1967]

I'm surprised that you left out the Dance of the Swans from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and Libiamo from Verdi's La Traviata.

[@rcdolphin714]

The Radetzky March is by Johann Strauss, Sr.

[@juancarloslondono7322]

Excellent work!

[@oldieSplit]

where is Nabucco overture; va pensiero...Aida _Triumphal march; Gloria?

[@aydenpostigo2910]

Well that’s because they forgot more pieces Best known The other Hungarian dances and Rhapsody’s Brahms/Liszt Polovstrin Dance from prince Igor Borodin Ma vlast (all) Smetana Nabucco Overture and chorus of the slaves Verdi Jupiter holst Voices of spring Strauss Jr And others

[@2981661]

The Radetzsky March (19:02) is by Johann Strauss Sr not Richard Strauss.

[@marcusjames7658]

Parts of Tales from the Vienna Woods should have been added as a bit of 'The 100 Most Famous Classical Music Pieces... Even people who don't like classical music would be familiar with that. And they also know Voices of Spring. Just circus music to them, but they know it.

[@spielersubliminals8025]

I think you got that last name wrong. John Williams composed the Imperial March. Also, no Stravinsky?

[@mjpilot4439]

I've been searching forever for the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture music. Thanks

1:08 WOW! A few minutes ago I started thinking about this melody for no reason, I knew that I heard it before but I didn't know the name, thank you so much!! Bach calling me from the heavens?? Maybe he's telling me to watch the fourth and last part of that awesome documentary about his life, it's here on youtube (6 hours total)

@@yashwanth2642 お便り感謝しています‼️ Sorry the late reply ！ I am sorry . How is your country ？ Tokyo entered the rainy season , and the rainy days lasts about a month . It doesn't mean that it is raining everyday . When the rainy season over , overwhelming hell,s summer comes . Summer in Tokyo is hot and wet hell for those who work and walk outside . I am looking forward to comfortable autumn . But Japanese spring and autumn are beautiful , wonderful , incomparable and comfortable season that are beyond all imagination . In spring , cherry blossms in full bloom everywhere . In autumn , the chrysanthemum , the symbol of Japanese Imperial family , blossms large flowers in full bloom everywhere . Someday please come to Japan in the height of spring or autumn . Take care of yourself ！ Good luck !

Yesssss, I looked so many other places, I was looking for Mozart's Requiem - Lacrimosa

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

Perhaps his greatest piece of work. Hauntingly beautiful. Mozart's Symphony No. 40 is amazing as well..... but he has so many. They left a few off this video they could've put on.

[@machabeleloka318]

And what the hell happened to Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9??!!!! ITS AAUUUUDDIIIIIIIIOOOOOO!!!!! 😡

[@MikeS-um1nm]

This was pretty cool! I feel a little stupid for not being familiar with Juventino. I remember reading, long ago, that you are a true lover of Classical Music if you can listen to the "William Tell Overture" and NOT think of the Lone Ranger. I can do that, but I have to admit that it's hard for me to hear Juventino's "Imperial March" and NOT think of Darth Vader! I never knew that music was "Classical"! I thought it was composed just for the Star Wars movies.

[@HeavyMetalGamer45]

I've had a piece of a song stuck in my head for days thanks to this I finally know what it's called the William Tell Overture.

[@darthparallax5207]

This one has multiple correct answers. Many grown adult music fans would accept "That's the Lone Ranger theme" and that's not the only other name it's known by.

[@christopherkingsland4604]

Great list!

And at 23:21 we get 4'33". You should have credited John Cage.
