A best of education music video with so beautiful signature music to show a great arts. Thank you for who is a smart editor!

As a Beethoven fan I can confirm. My taste is pretty swell 😏

[@paulkicklighter5885]

As an artist some of the best times I've had in my studio was when I had consumed copious amounts of beer while working on a painting listening to Beethoven cranked up to max volume.

[@FREDGARRISON]

@@paulkicklighter5885 Glad it was the max on the BEER and BEETHOVEN. Isn't it nice they both begin with the letter "B"....... Both taste pretty good.

[@paulkicklighter5885]

please fix the scriabin one - a die hard scriabinist

[@AstrusHD]

So what'd be your take on Scriabin as a die hard scriabinist?

[@dozapp]

Visionary who created his own theory of tonality

[@sarracam2811]

​@@AstrusHD I think that Scriabin’s later work is very far from Chopin. He's gone too far... so I think "you were broken and felt all the emotions, now you've won but you're still thinking a lot" would be appropriate.

[@buschovski1]

Scriabin: "you might want to chill a little bit before you go insane"

[@lapisinfernalis9052]

I like Shostakovich because many of his pieces are Metal and quite dark, Wagner for the epic sound (and his long operas) and Tchaikovsky for the romantic and sad parts.

[@josesolismusic]

Bach is always my go to since I discovered his fugues.

[@howardwiseman253]

As a Bruckner fan, I can confirm that I keep revising my novel.

[@nightwhenjar]

No list has ever included Khachaturian and he is my absolute favourite

[@Siansonea]

If Khachaturian or Ligeti were included on this list, my guess for the caption would be "you really like Stanley Kubrick movies". 😁

[@nightwhenjar]

@@Siansonea good one

[@sasstsuma1467]

If I were the list maker and included Khatchaturian, I would've written "you are probably a Russian figure skater or someone who dreams to attend a masquerade ball someday"

[@nightwhenjar]

Me coming to this video for song/composer recommendations

[@johnchessant3012]

mine is Chopin and it's accurate. also, thanks for putting the pieces in the description!

[@djmccart]

I'd say you got the Holst one backwards - if your favorite composer is Holst, you're one of the few people who *do* know another piece by him other than The Planets!

[@symphonyofsolidarity]

Lol I only know in the bleak midwinter and the planets and he's my favourite. I'm not a music person yk

[@djmccart]

@@symphonyofsolidarity Then do I have some treats for you! Holst's Second Suite (I like this one better than the first) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4mypZaiqbmcoas Holst's First Suite kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHSsh4t7etqAp68 The Perfect Fool: Dance of the Spirits of Fire (IMO the best of these three) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXnKo5aYpJypg7csi=MsKNURi7nRhFlJPg&t=424

[@symphonyofsolidarity]

@djmccart thank you sooo much. I'll listen to them right nowww 😊

[@FREDGARRISON]

@@symphonyofsolidarity It's time you became a music person. As djmccart has mentioned Holst has a lot of good music out there besides The Planets. The two suites for band, the Saint Paul's Suite and of course the ballet that seems to have been written especially for me, THE PERFECT FOOL. Lennon-McCartney did another one for me called THE FOOL ON THE HILL. If you want to hear a good recording of The Planets, give a listen to the recording by Zubin Mehta and The Los Angeles Philharmonic on London/Decca.

[@symphonyofsolidarity]

I love seeing different perspectives on the favourite composer thing haha

[@Rozczoch67]

as a chopin enjoyer. not quite, piano is just my favourite. i think saying that we are fragile as he himself was would fit more

[@winey2139]

Listening to Chopin, I can't help recall the lyrics to that old Roberta Flack song, Killing me Softly: He sang as if he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me As if I wasn't there And he just kept on singing Singing clear and strong Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song. Chopin plays as if he knew me in all my dark despair, and kills me softly with his music.

[@winstonelston5743]

5:01 The first and third "movements" of Barber's string quartet bracket the Adagio perfectly.

[@-basil-5294]

As a Chopin/Rachmaninov obsessor I could never describe how accurate this is 💀

[@jesustovar2549]

Dang, the Wagner one is so true for me, I'm most likely love film music, every dramatic and EPIC pieces that make me imagine a whole movie, that's also why I love Bruckner, Mahler and R. Strauss, as well as 20th composers, I like Debussy, Ravel, Satie, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Bartók, Gershwin, etc... but I'm also a romantic and I love Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, R. Schumann, Liszt, Brahms, Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Puccini, Grieg, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Borodin (I must love Russia) Sibelius, Elgar. I think I'm a victorian gentleman, I belong to 19th and 20th Century. I like Mozart and Haydn, so I kinda believe myself an intellectual, I also like Vivaldi and it's true that I watch a lot of tv, just for movies and series. I love J Strauss II and it's family/contemporaries, mostly because of Tom & Jerry😂

[@blackswan4486]

Same here, I’m a film student

[@annalink4351]

LOL. Very funny and uniquely creative. Thank you.

[@joannedj1]

To be fair to Borodin, though, re not finishing what he started, being a composer was only his hobby. He was actually an industrial chemist for a living and wrote music in his spare time.

[@hawkmeteor7781]

Bach underated as hell his violin concertos No. 2 is truly beautiful, a testament to classical music, I especially enjoy the allegro and Allegro assai.

[@bear9295]

I don't understand it either :(. What's wrong with Mozart? His music is so beautiful

[@JamesTheBell1]

I suspect it's because his music is very accessible and enjoyable, so it's easy to write it off as basic and not serious. Everyone loves Mozart to begin with, then hates Mozart, then realises they were wrong about hating Mozart.

[@osasunaitor]

I'm a big Händel fan and I honestly wasn't expecting to be called a rare specimen, I thought his talent was more appreciated :( Also brilliant choice of music, the Overture of the Music for the Royal Fireworks is the piece that made me fall in love with his music
