Greatest Classical Music Pieces
Classical pieces of no longer than 10 minutes composed before 1850.
Honestly, this is the best thing I've ever heard! It's a masterpiece. If I don't feel good, I just listen, and it takes all the stress away, clears my mind, and helps me think. So if you haven't listened yet, you really missed something big. Listen to it right now!
The most romantic, melodramatic masterpiece ever. Some theories say that the Moonlight Sonata (the notes) is compatible with the mathematical structure of electricity.
It filled my heart when I first heard it and it took all my sadness away. It sounds like I'm really under the moonlight.
My favorite classical piece by far. Possibly the most beautiful music ever written in any genre. Whenever I feel sad or angry, I play Canon, and it just makes me feel better. I tear up every time I listen to it.
It leaves such an impression after listening to it the first time. It leaves even more after the second time. No matter how many times you have listened to it, it will continue to inspire you forever.
This is the only classical music piece that even non-connoisseurs of classical music recognize. Most of all, it is the most haunting, moving, captivating, and inspirational music I've ever heard.
The classical piece par excellence. I'm listening to it right now.
Vivaldi is a beautiful musician and a person I wish I knew.
I learned to play this at school. Unfortunately, I don't think I could still do it now. I still think it's one of the greatest classical pieces (as if I have any authority to say that), and making it the European anthem was a stroke of genius.
That choir part is absolutely mind-blowing! It makes me feel truly joyful every time I hear it! This is the best classical piece ever!
This is a very great song. Go to YouTube and listen. My friend visiting cried... weird.
Let's be honest and in simple terms, what's not to love about this epic apotheosis of music?
This is one of the most well-known pieces of all time. I highly recommend listening to this piece as it shows passion. This is an example of music at its finest.
The-the-the-daaa. The-the-the-daaa. This four-note motif is literally known by everyone. I think this piece should receive a higher position.
This music is suspenseful and really cool. If you've never heard this piece, you should!
This one puts a smile on your face and gets you all charged up with its amazing intensity!
Really powerful! I love this piece.
It is indeed a legendary composition. Listening to the intro makes me feel as if I am witnessing the Big Bang, something huge, massive, and spectacular. The transition in the music is as smooth as butter. It needs to be ranked much higher!
Wow. Many people know this better as "The Vampire Song" or Toccata and Fugue in D "Dracula" minor. This piece is so intense yet so beautiful.
This music proves that from chaos, order emerges, and yet, they are the same.
Why is this so low? Hasn't anybody heard it?
This is as popular on piano as Smoke On The Water is on guitar. It's a beginner's favorite. Everyone thinks they are cool if they can play either SOTW or Für Elise.
I am a descendant of Mozart. When I was a kid, my father told me amazing stories about him.
There is not one single incorrectly placed note in this famous masterpiece!
This reminds me of my childhood. It's such an amazing piece.
Incredible at the end of the film "Brassed Off," like a force of nature!
The last piece of music Mozart ever wrote, he put all of his knowledge he gained throughout his years into writing it on his deathbed. Only when someone is in such a situation can they truly convey real emotions into a piece of music, and that's exactly what Wolfgang did in Requiem.
He made some very pretty classical music. He is also very interesting.
It is said that it's his best work, but he didn't finish it. A pupil did.
It is an insult that this, the most beautiful piece of music ever written, is at #130. It should at least be in the top 5. The best violin version is played by Yueun Gema Kim. It is on YouTube.
I don't know how this piece could be so low. Yes, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and 5th Symphony are incredible. But this is, in my opinion, better. It's so beautiful and well-rounded, and I could listen to it on repeat for the rest of my life.
The antithesis of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Beautiful piece, has a vibe that's not as dark. The mood conjured can only be summed up as immersive.
Better than that overplayed "Moonlight Sonata." This piece is the best music about the moon ever written.
If this masterpiece was created in any of the Western or elegant societies, the world would know it as the best classical music piece ever composed. And so well do we now.
Beautiful, just beautiful, especially the 2nd movement. This one piece inspired three of the greatest film scores of all time: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Jaws. What other pieces here can you say that about?
I love the whole symphony! My favorite part is the second movement. It has a cor anglais solo, and I love cor anglais solos. The second movement is my favorite piece out of all music in the world.
The second movement has an amazingly beautiful English horn solo.
Such joy and excitement are shown in this piece. The orchestration is pure magic.
Simple and nice introduction, very well-developed body of the concerto, very pleasant. Calming, but still serious and reflective. Very, very nice to listen to.
Pleasure to listen to this piece. So relaxing, but with some serious moments.
Very pleasant, relaxing, and romantic.
It is the single most epic piece of music I have ever heard. It always reminds me of space and my favorite movie of all time, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
It's the music in 2001: A Space Odyssey. No matter how you hear it, the music is insurmountably epic and deserves to be in the top five.
The greatest piece of classical music I have ever listened to. Motivating, calming, and inspiring!
I'm actually shocked Adagio is only the 23rd. At least 0.9 percent of people voted for it as the best. That's something.
Amazing piece. Very soothing and with a great feel.
