A quick story Last year, I went in a music store with a friend. As we were looking at the instruments, we heard somoene starting to play "Für Elise" in the room next to where we were. After the first few notes, an employee near us said "oh please not again". I'll never forget the look in his eyes...
Imagine this: You are watching a movie, known only for its first 30 minutes. The movie is 2 hours long. Now, imagine every time you go to a friends house and you watch a movie with them, they only pay the first 30 mins, but you know there is more. Now, imagine this as a piano piece. That is Für Elise
@@kachiko6874 It does get severely annoying though, which is a shame since i can’t stand to listen to good pieces anymore because i hear it too many times.
10. Flight of the Bumblebee 9. Symphony No. 5 8. Hungarian Dance No. 5 7. Czardas 6. Cello Suite No. 1 - Prelude 5. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik 4. Fur Elise 3. The Blue Danube Waltz 2. Four Seasons 1. Canon in D
In China or Taiwan they have no problem using classical music for such basic things as trashtruck sounds, mall music or else. It's horribly effictive in destroying those pieces forever
In brazil it was the gas truck... remember hearing everyday after school. But it was one of my grandmother favorite song so i played a lot ,i still like this song
I remember learning Fur Elise when I was a kid and then moving onto more fun and beautiful pieces. Then I went to highschool where there was an untuned piano in the front of the auditorium and whenever we would have a study hall, some kid would go up to it and play Fur Elise and everyone would act like it was the second coming of Christ or something. Funniest part was that they skipped over the parts that are more difficult later on in the song than just the beginning bit.
Violin: Bumblebee Piano: Für Elise Cello: Canon Organ: Toccata Flute: The fellowship of the ring Guitar: Stairway to heaven E-Bass: Under pressure Drums: We will rock you
Aliyah Ahahahahahha Imagine you need to play it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. and then after you play it all people will say "OMG YOU VERY GOOD". I play La Campanella the first part and people like "ok alright"
@@aliyahahahahahahha4380 It became mainstream and suddenly if you play it people will think that you have been playing the piano for like a billion years. It's like playing Canon in D with a cello
I think there is a reason these pieces are played so often. They are just nice to listen to and easy to convey to a wide audience. There's one more piece you forgot, Toccata & Fugue in d - minor by J.S. Bach BWV 656
I was so surprised to hear that this is such a common wedding music. Like do people just generally have a string quartet at their wedding? I'd expect to hear organ music at a wedding, like the Mendelssohn wedding march immediately comes to mind (even though that piece might be more of a cliché due to movies and such)
Yeah in my area the Mendelssohn is way more popular, I think. Hadn't even heard of Canon as a wedding piece before getting into twoset. But I guess it's big in the UK and US then
For Pianists: Für Elise Mozart sonata in c Clair de Lune (I'm sorry Debussy D:) FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEE Bach Prelude c major Moonlight sonata 3rd Movement Fantasie Impromptu It's not a classical piece but RIVER FLOWS IN YOU, everywhere "Can you play river flows in you?" 🤠🤠
In Myanmar, fur elise is tune for a pancke street food franchise, called Cart- Bane - Mont. it means Myanmar Sweet Pancke. the franchise entrepreneur is genius. Like everyone is shouting "panckes for sale, so sweet", he hit you with a classic 🤣🤣🤣. Whenever I hear it, I always remember the happy memory of my mom buying us those delicious 🤤 pan cakes.
@@daniarceo8456 4 years to play Elise??? it's my first year and I am already learning it, I told my teacher I couldnt make it but she said it was easy and now I am learning it sjsjskskjss
OH MY FUCKING GOD SO TRUE I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR THIS VERY PIECE IN THE COMMENTS LIKE PEOPLE SAY "OH! I CAN PLAY PIANO :DDDD" FUCKING PLAYS RIVER FLOWS IN YOU EVERY. TIME. forgive me for piano abuse but I just want to rip the keys off and shove them in my ears this is how much I hate the piece or actually better yet no piano abuse chop the persons hands off and shove those in my ears instead ;;;
It should be called 'I am too lazy to have an attention span long enough to spend time actually listening to classical music so I'll pretend to be edgy by listening to this playlist and tell all the musicians it's just not my personal preference when in actuality it's just my chronic ignorance' playlist.
Lol i've been a violinist for 13 years and I listen to it regularly... It's like a guilty pleasure. Probably because of the nostalgia from playing all those pieces as a kid. Great for getting your friends into classical music tho.
@@sebastian-benedictflore Personally I believe that if you can't read all of shakespeare's works backwards from memory you are lazy and have a short attention span.
@@accomplisheddiplomat4091 Personally, I believe that if you can't listen to a piece that lasts 10 minutes, you're lazy and have a short attention span.
(yes i know it's been 2.5 years but) I'd love to see a follow-up to this video where they go over this list again but present specific alternatives to each piece for people trying to learn more about classical music (like myself) "if you enjoy the Eine Kleine listen to this" type thing
My list would be: Beethoven's Ode to Joy, Ravel's Bolero, Orff's Carmina Burana, Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra, Puccini's Nessun Dorma, Rossini's March of the Swiss Soldiers (William Tell Ouverture), Saint-Saëns' The Swan Offenbach's Can Can Bach's Air on G-String Schubert's Ave Maria
@@islanderblondi5210 Oh, come on... Those pieces have been played and sung to death in movies, tv-shows, documentaries, talent shows, youtube-videos, circuses, street performances, rock concerts etc etc..
@@leung9401 maybe I'm not familiar enough with that, to be honest I don't watch movies or youtube videos or anything very often. But the only thing I've heard a lot is Oh Fortuna, not the rest of Carmina Burana. But with the other pieces on your list I totally agree 😅
@@islanderblondi5210 Oh, now I see what you mean.. Yes, agreed. Only "oh, fortuna" is played to death, but not the other pieces from "carmina burana"... yes, totally agreed. I thought you meant the rest of the pieces on my list.
I can't 100% agree because u did not include the following - The nutcracker - tchaikovsky - Moonlight sonata - beethoven - Toccata and fugue in d minor - bach - Lullaby(famous cradle music) - brahms - Twinkle² little star - mozart - Can can - offenbach
My mom buy a clock that ring fur Elise every 12 o'clock... I keep awoke at midnight for 2 week so I had to hide those clock n buy new one without music..
It's actually such a pretty piece to listen to. But so hopelessly overplayed that I can't stand it anymore. My poor violin teacher when I said I wanted to learn it. Biggest eyeroll I've ever seen or will ever see. And: „can't we do gigue instead?“
It's a lot like Singing a dang same 'Raag' what we call it as, you can say a 'Song' actually. That same one always to impress, wanna kill myself hearing it
You have no idea how confused I was when one evening I was walking around Taipei, suddenly heard electronic version of Fur Elise and 5 seconds later garbage truck appeared. It was galaxy brain moment for me
Water purifier’s , elevator, musical toys mainly made in china , sound of vehicles while reversing or using indicator etc 😂 as i kid I really didn’t knew its name but really loved the melody
3 years later, and thank you for solving the mystery. I am (was) a musician but was not classically trained and it bugged me so much that I knew the music, but did not know why I knew it. This is it!!!
I've been really wanting to perform Die Erlkonig at some point. Hopefully in college. I also wish that Danse Macabre was played more often. Same idea with the recognizable melody but it is less infamous for being stereotyped and has complexity that would get a lot more people interested in classical music
I love Danse Macabre and I have a relatively short attention span when it comes to classical music recordings, so that’s definitely a testament to its quality and… epicness, I guess?
Ballerinas go catatonic when they hear Sugar Plum Fairy/Nutcracker March/Russian variation played out of theatrical context...and it happens FAR too often
Laurel S My cousin was a professional ballerina, and even though she’s been retired from it for a few years now, she wants to put a bullet through her head whenever The Nutcracker is mentioned.
So true ^^ To me there are also: - 2nd waltz from the jazz suites by Shostakovich (as if he had never written anything else) - Jupiter from the planets by Holst (what about the other planets too?) - Wedding march by Mendelssohn Bartholdy ^^
I cannot believe that Pomp and circumstance wasn't on this list. LItterally the only song that my sister played for Highschool senior graduation last year (she was junior) was pomp and circumstance. she played it maybe like 5 times.
anyone who's sick of hearing fur elise everywhere, try going to my school they play fur elise as the bell. I hear it every single bloody day that now I have my own immune system to that song update: thank God I already graduated
I was SURE Moonlight Sonata, Minuet in G, and/or Symphony #9 would be here. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow I wanna see movies, I wanna see Starz
I was practicing flute at the same time as watching this video and didn't hear the symphony at first so I watched the ad thinking it was an actual ad 😐
Other overplayed pieces: 1. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky 2. Moonlight Sonata first movement by Beethoven 3. Toccata and Fugue in D minor by Bach 4. Pomp and Circumstance by Elgar 5. 9th Symphony (Ode to Joy) by Beethoven 6. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by Mozart 7. Prelude in C Major by Bach 8. Solfegietto by CPE Bach 9. Rondo Alla Turca by Mozart 10. Turkish March by Beethoven 11. Heart and Soul by Hoagy Carmichael (Idk if this is considered classical or not) 12. Also Sprach Zarathustra by Strauss 13. La Campanella by Liszt 14. Paganini’s Caprice No. 24 15. March from the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky 16. Dance of the Reed Flutes from the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky 17. Stars and Stripes Forever by Sousa 18. Trepak from The Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky 19. Nutcracker Overture from The Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky 20. Can Can by Offenbach 21. Humoresque by Dvorak 22. Air on the G String by Bach 23. Hallelujah Chorus 24. Minuet in G by Bach 25. Wedding March by Felix Mendelssohn 26. In the Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg 27. March of the Swiss Soldiers by Rossini 28. Symphony No. 40 by Mozart 29. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Dukas 30. Dance of the Swans from Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky 31. 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky 32. Nocturne no. 9 op. 2 by Chopin 33. Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin 34. K545 Sonata by Mozart Like so they can see
One of three pieces I cannot enjoy anymore. The other two being Offenbach's Can Can and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (the first movement, at least). Another one that is very overplayed which I still enjoy a lot is O Fortuna by Carl Orff. Wish they would play the rest of his Carmina Burana more. EDIT: Found both Can Can and Moonlight Sonata just a few comments below, so I am apparently not the only one who feels like this.
As a cellist myself, I can confirm the Canon in D is the worst spawn of Satan ever to be created. Also I don't know a single other cello player who doesn't have the entire first Bach suite at least partially memorized. One of my friends literally gags every time she hears the prelude because she's played it so much.
Not a cellist, but i have played the part on bass flute quite a few times. It's quite meditative! Not something i look forward to any time soon... but meditative!
So glad you acknowledged the eye bleed for cellists in pach canon. (I’m also triggered by “Spring”, at the art school I went to for a year the studios were walls thrown up in a big warehouse, almost every afternoon when most of the people had gone, someone would play it. There was a great reverb through the joint and the music soared, but it wasn’t good for my state of mind😢)
3:55 Everytime I hear this I imagine myself in an large garden. With birds chirping and butterflies flying around daffodils. Then over a distance, there is a victorian era castle. With a butler waiting outside to welcome guests.
So, we have a piano in school in the hallway, and anyone who knows to play it, can play it with a teacher's permission. And, I transferred here last year. Sooo, basically, my homeroom teacher told EVERYONE in my damn class that I can play piano on my first day, so my new classmates were all like: "OMG CAN WE PLEASE HEAR YOU PLAYYY?" In a second, I was sitting by the piano, surrounded by students. I was so confused, but still started to play. (Some etude or menuet, I can't remember ) And guess what's next?? Every. Stupid. Person. Started shouting. *CaN't yOu pLaY fÜr ElIsE??!*
I HATE THIS AAAAAAAAAH people just can't listen to what you decided to play, they always interrupt and start asking you to play something that they know, probably something overplayed like Fur Elise. it's so annoying
It’s incredibly annoying. Usually, I have to explain that my teacher doesn’t really let me play that overplayed trash. Which, is okay, because I don’t WANT to play it.
Me, a Bassist: *Sees Canon in D on thumbnail.* Me: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. No. No. Absolutely. Not. No. Burn it. Burn. It.
10: Flight Of The Bumblebee 9: Beethoven Symphony No. 5 8: Hungarian Dance No. 5 7: Czardas 6: Cello Suite No. 1 Prelude 5: Eine Kleine Nacht Musik 4: Fur Elise 3: The Blue Danube Waltz 2: The Four Seasons: Summer: Third Movement 1: Canon In D
Well as a piano learner I understand why the 1st and 3rd movement receive much more attention. The 1st one is like entrance level for beginners, like anyone can learn that piece in a couple of days and brag about it ( imagine how cool it is to tell your friends "I can play moonlight sonata" ), and the 3rd one is definitely a way for pros to show off their skill. The 2rd movement is a beautiful piece, but definitely has 0 "wow" factor in it.
There's a lot of great gateway classical music in the old Looney Tunes cartoons. Wagner-"Kill the Wabbit", Rossini-"Rabbit of Seville", etc. I read that they used classical music because it is public domain, and therefore they could use it without paying any royalties. As a kid, these were among my first exposures to classical music. Anyway, the pieces you mentioned have become iconic for good reason. It's unfortunate that their over/misuse has spoiled them a little (OK, a lot!). I have played many weddings, lots of Canon in D, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, etc. I try to just play them my best, knowing that most people's musical exposure and taste is different than mine. Cheers, guys-you always make me laugh!
As a non musician I listen already to a lot Einaudi he gives me so much peace even with the faster songs! I definitely recommend it. I actually want to start playing an instrument after hearing all the other dope classical music
some predictions before starting. Canon in d obviously as was in thumbnail. beathovens 5th, moonlight sonata (idk what movement, but you know what it sounds like),danse macabre. ode to joy. turkish march, fur ELise
Me, a pianist: *plays the Pathetique sonata* X:"oh, interesting, but do you know Für Elise?" Me:"I can sight read that if you want" X:"Nvm, how about River Flows In You?" Me: *l e a v e s*
deal with it I went to my most recent piano teacher and said “I want to play the moonlight sonata without sounding like I checked it off on my list in high school.” She taught me techniques and suggested interpretations that were fantastic. My go-to solo is the 2nd movement of the Pathetique or the grieg nocturne in C.
I live in Taiwan and honestly, the first times you hear the rubbish trucks playing Für Elise, it's fun, then it becomes a nightmare because you hear it too often
We get that with ice cream trucks in the US. That and a couple Scott Joplin pieces. Every summer...the distant echos of Beethoven and The Entertainer. I think it's funny that Taiwan announces trash in the same way we announce junk food. In my city at least we just put the cans out and the truck shows up at some point during the day.
@@BonaparteBardithion When I was learning Chinese at the university, there was an American man in my class who told us that the first time he heard it, he thought it was an ice cream truck and was very disappointed :')
I'm so glad you guys finally feel secure enough to say publicly you're getting married! But I have no idea how Hungarian rhapsody no 2 by Liszt is not on your Liszt.
Fun fact: Tchaikovsky HATED that piece. He wrote it for a quick cash grab because he was running a bit short. And he phoned it in really hard. And then it became super popular. He thought it was too noisy.
I somehow thought it would be the Blue Danube. That's probably the one played on TV the most. But I never exactly realised how commonly we hear Canon in D. Most fancy restaurants play it!
I hate this piece although I did not quit. I had to send a kid off though when she requested Fuer Elise when I was playing at a street piano. When she demanded the reason for why I did not want to play it, I to,d her that it was too annoy to me. She shut her mouth and left.

The Blue Danube Waltz has an interesting tradition here in Austria. It is always the first song that is played on radio every year. So at 00:00 January 1st everyone celebrates the new year and dances to this song.
I was listening to an orchestral version of it earlier and I genuinely had some tears for it. Listening all the way through just makes you think of the soaring sun going across mountains and valleys and rivers. I don't know, it just hits the spot
it's a tradition in my house to listen to the live concert! the first day of the year the tv broadcasts it from Vienna and it's a very exciting time every year
That's so cool. In my country they almost killed the only radio that was dedicated to classical music... Luckily one of the big universities rescued it (idk if it works like this in other countries but in mine universities are the owners of half the country (like radios, random plots of land, even soccer teams))
As a German, it sounds kinda weird to me when "eine kleine Nachtmusik" is shortened to "eine kleine" Since it's "a little night music/serenade" so that's just like saying "a little" xD But I guess "Nachtmusik" is kinda hard to pronounce... Considering most people who don't know German pronounce the ch as a k-sound it would sound like "Nacktmusik" (Naked music) So maybe it's better like that...
Fur Elise. new friend: so you're a pianist? me: yes. new friend: OMG CAN YOU PLAY FUR ELISE BY BEETHOVEN me: *dies inside* - edit: tysm for so many likes i wasn't expecting
Each times a non pianist ask me to play it's always fur Elise.. but yesterday a friend of mine asked me : can you play ... Winter wind from Chopin... Almost killed him
My ex-girlfriend is mainland Chinese. When I visited her family in mainland for the 1st time, her mom rented out a small concert hall, sat in the front row and told me to play fur elise as she believed that was the empitome of recognizing talented musicians... She was quickly dissapointed to hear I couldnt play the piece. Despite the other pieces I played and thought were better xD

@@physicslawss To master it, yes, because I learnt it on my first year but my teacher left out the harder sections, but to learn it is easy!
Although not classical.....one piece that triggers pianists is:
RIVER FLOWS IN YOU
OH MY FUCKING GOD SO TRUE I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR THIS VERY PIECE IN THE COMMENTS
LIKE PEOPLE SAY "OH! I CAN PLAY PIANO :DDDD"
FUCKING PLAYS RIVER FLOWS IN YOU
EVERY. TIME.
forgive me for piano abuse but I just want to rip the keys off and shove them in my ears this is how much I hate the piece
or actually better yet no piano abuse chop the persons hands off and shove those in my ears instead ;;;
Oh shit it gives me nightmares
I was waiting for someone to mention this
*cries in pianist*
Another honourable mention of overplayed piano piece is definitely the Clayderman piece Mariage d'amour🙄
literally EVERY PIANIST knows how to play Fur Elise
or at least the beginning
JPJ Egg honestly I never memorized it LOL
Moonlight mvmt I
tsukisakura1 tbh same I only know the beginning 😂
Even my 9yo brother!
just the beginning 🤷♀
OOOOOOHHHHHHHH THEY SHOULD DO A VIDEO TITLED: "PIECES YOU SHOULD PLAY INSTEAD OF FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEE"
Gracie May YASSSSSSSS
cough paganini cough liszt cough rachmaninoff
should shut the bees up
A guy played it at 1,000 beats per minute on guitar, but after 300 beats per minute, it was just noise.
Yes, yes, yes and yes.
They popped up a list of alternatives, but it was too quick to read.
Theres an album on s spotify that's called "I dont like classical music but I like this" and pretty much all of these are on there.
It should be called 'I am too lazy to have an attention span long enough to spend time actually listening to classical music so I'll pretend to be edgy by listening to this playlist and tell all the musicians it's just not my personal preference when in actuality it's just my chronic ignorance' playlist.
@@sebastian-benedictflore the I'm into all types of music but in reality I only listen to screamo
Lol i've been a violinist for 13 years and I listen to it regularly... It's like a guilty pleasure. Probably because of the nostalgia from playing all those pieces as a kid. Great for getting your friends into classical music tho.
@@sebastian-benedictflore Personally I believe that if you can't read all of shakespeare's works backwards from memory you are lazy and have a short attention span.
@@accomplisheddiplomat4091 Personally, I believe that if you can't listen to a piece that lasts 10 minutes, you're lazy and have a short attention span.
(yes i know it's been 2.5 years but) I'd love to see a follow-up to this video where they go over this list again but present specific alternatives to each piece for people trying to learn more about classical music (like myself) "if you enjoy the Eine Kleine listen to this" type thing
My list would be:
Beethoven's Ode to Joy,
Ravel's Bolero,
Orff's Carmina Burana,
Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra,
Puccini's Nessun Dorma,
Rossini's March of the Swiss Soldiers (William Tell Ouverture),
Saint-Saëns' The Swan
Offenbach's Can Can
Bach's Air on G-String
Schubert's Ave Maria
But just "Oh Fortuna" from Carmina Burana. All the other pieces aren't played as often
@@islanderblondi5210 Oh, come on... Those pieces have been played and sung to death in movies, tv-shows, documentaries, talent shows, youtube-videos, circuses, street performances, rock concerts etc etc..
@@leung9401 maybe I'm not familiar enough with that, to be honest I don't watch movies or youtube videos or anything very often. But the only thing I've heard a lot is Oh Fortuna, not the rest of Carmina Burana. But with the other pieces on your list I totally agree 😅
@@islanderblondi5210 Oh, now I see what you mean.. Yes, agreed. Only "oh, fortuna" is played to death, but not the other pieces from "carmina burana"... yes, totally agreed. I thought you meant the rest of the pieces on my list.
I can't 100% agree because u did not include the following
- The nutcracker - tchaikovsky
- Moonlight sonata - beethoven
- Toccata and fugue in d minor - bach
- Lullaby(famous cradle music) - brahms
- Twinkle² little star - mozart
- Can can - offenbach
God those are so overplayed
@@Meijibby i forgot to mention the minuet in g by bach/petzold
They don’t mention cause it’s not violon pieces
@@kidzvonhan what about the nutcracker or lullaby by brahms? Those can be played by violin to
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is overplayed, I agree. But honestly, Waltz of the Flowers is one of my favorite pieces to listen to.
hearing fur elise at night? dude that sounds like a horror movie
That new Morbius trailer has Fur Elise in it, and it kinda works
My mom buy a clock that ring fur Elise every 12 o'clock... I keep awoke at midnight for 2 week so I had to hide those clock n buy new one without music..
Our garbage trucks in Taiwan play Fur Elise to notify people that they're coming every fucking night and it's loud
This is Taiwanese life, this is my life since DAY 1!! Taiwanese people can't listen to fur Elise normally ever. All we think about is trash😭
*für
Sorry I had to
Me: reads the title
Brain: *FÜR ELISE*
Same
Actually Chopins Nocturne op
9 no.2 is probably even more overplayed
Lol It was spring for me
FACTS still love it though
Same, but I still thought Canon in D.
every time canon in D is played, a classically trained musician dies...
So learning it is actually committing a crime?
It's actually such a pretty piece to listen to. But so hopelessly overplayed that I can't stand it anymore. My poor violin teacher when I said I wanted to learn it. Biggest eyeroll I've ever seen or will ever see. And: „can't we do gigue instead?“
It's a lot like Singing a dang same 'Raag' what we call it as, you can say a 'Song' actually. That same one always to impress, wanna kill myself hearing it
Canon in D-eath
Maybe that's why pop music is more popular
Me: *plays a difficult grade piece*
My mom: “but can you play für Elise?”
me too -_-
*Clearly your mom isn't asian enough*
same😭
THIS IS SO GODDAMN TRUE
*can play yiruma song river flows in you*
My dad: bUt I wAnT yoU tO pLaY für Elise
that'd be my friends lol. Im glad as an amateur pianist I never ever learned that piece I'd just choose learning the other pieces

the fur elise piece is so overplayed that in India, it is the tune used to alert people for when trucks are backing up. Not even joking lol XD
True story. I'm indian too
Poor Beethoven
It's even used in water purifiers.
Water purifier’s , elevator, musical toys mainly made in china , sound of vehicles while reversing or using indicator etc 😂 as i kid I really didn’t knew its name but really loved the melody
3 years later, and thank you for solving the mystery. I am (was) a musician but was not classically trained and it bugged me so much that I knew the music, but did not know why I knew it. This is it!!!
Waltz of the flowers and the sugar plum fairy by Tchaikovsky are over played
two words: 1812 overture
Meanwhile, the Polonaise doesn't get played enough even though it fuckin slaps. Especially if there is no break between act 2 and act 3.
Waltz of the Flowers is so good though 😢
bo mg but that’s a great piece. The cannons are integrated into the piece very well.
@@akechijubeimitsuhide which polonaise?
I've been really wanting to perform Die Erlkonig at some point. Hopefully in college. I also wish that Danse Macabre was played more often. Same idea with the recognizable melody but it is less infamous for being stereotyped and has complexity that would get a lot more people interested in classical music
I love Danse Macabre and I have a relatively short attention span when it comes to classical music recordings, so that’s definitely a testament to its quality and… epicness, I guess?
It’s y favorite piece ever
I'm shocked that Turkish March is not included in this list
Oh yaaaa
I mean it's definetly overplayed but not as much as the ones on this list (as far as i'm aware)
That's what I was just thinking tbh

Ballerinas go catatonic when they hear Sugar Plum Fairy/Nutcracker March/Russian variation played out of theatrical context...and it happens FAR too often
Laurel S My cousin was a professional ballerina, and even though she’s been retired from it for a few years now, she wants to put a bullet through her head whenever The Nutcracker is mentioned.
Or swan lake
As a professional violinist who has played nutcracker far too many times, hearing nutcracker out of context makes me do an audible “AHHH FUCK THAT”
So true ^^ To me there are also:
- 2nd waltz from the jazz suites by Shostakovich (as if he had never written anything else)
- Jupiter from the planets by Holst (what about the other planets too?)
- Wedding march by Mendelssohn Bartholdy ^^

I cannot believe that Pomp and circumstance wasn't on this list. LItterally the only song that my sister played for Highschool senior graduation last year (she was junior) was pomp and circumstance. she played it maybe like 5 times.

You forgot In the Hall of the Mountain King by Greig! Lol very overplayed and in a lot of ads too.
Alyssa Perrone you make a fine point
And the Turkish March xd
Alyssa Perrone TRUE! I can’t believe this wasn’t included
One of three pieces I cannot enjoy anymore. The other two being Offenbach's Can Can and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (the first movement, at least). Another one that is very overplayed which I still enjoy a lot is O Fortuna by Carl Orff. Wish they would play the rest of his Carmina Burana more.
EDIT: Found both Can Can and Moonlight Sonata just a few comments below, so I am apparently not the only one who feels like this.
I feel like Greig's Morning is pretty overplayed too
As a cellist myself, I can confirm the Canon in D is the worst spawn of Satan ever to be created. Also I don't know a single other cello player who doesn't have the entire first Bach suite at least partially memorized. One of my friends literally gags every time she hears the prelude because she's played it so much.
YES omg i've grown to detest bach suite no 1
It’s such a guilty pleasure of mine 😭😩
I live in Nuremberg, where the church is where Pachelbel played.
@Italian Pills you only think that because you don't play 😭😭
Not a cellist, but i have played the part on bass flute quite a few times. It's quite meditative! Not something i look forward to any time soon... but meditative!

Welcome to Alton towers

Morning Mood is used a lot also.
So glad you acknowledged the eye bleed for cellists in pach canon. (I’m also triggered by “Spring”, at the art school I went to for a year the studios were walls thrown up in a big warehouse, almost every afternoon when most of the people had gone, someone would play it. There was a great reverb through the joint and the music soared, but it wasn’t good for my state of mind😢)
I thought Four Seasons Spring is overused and Summer, Fall and Winter is underrated.
I feel that fall and winter are underrated
K-POP & CLASSICAL 4 LIFE SPRING IS USED AS A CAR COMPANY’s TELEPHONE SONG WTFFF VIVALDI, YOU ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD

Before seeking them out id never heard summer and only recignized the really famous part of winter. The rest of winter gets overlooked i guess
I think Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter are all underrated.
The Four seasons is literally my school bell. It changes with each season...
Holy shit that's so cool. Unfurtonetly we are using fur elise as school bell

So, we have a piano in school in the hallway, and anyone who knows to play it, can play it with a teacher's permission. And, I transferred here last year.
Sooo, basically, my homeroom teacher told EVERYONE in my damn class that I can play piano on my first day, so my new classmates were all like: "OMG CAN WE PLEASE HEAR YOU PLAYYY?"
In a second, I was sitting by the piano, surrounded by students.
I was so confused, but still started to play. (Some etude or menuet, I can't remember )
And guess what's next??

I HATE THIS AAAAAAAAAH
people just can't listen to what you decided to play, they always interrupt and start asking you to play something that they know, probably something overplayed like Fur Elise. it's so annoying
I can play the Fur Elise by piano. But play it in the crowd is very very difficult. Fur Elise just suitable for playing alone.
It’s incredibly annoying. Usually, I have to explain that my teacher doesn’t really let me play that overplayed trash. Which, is okay, because I don’t WANT to play it.

Moonlight Sonata 1st movement.
Every horror/drama theme thing ever
lmao 3rd movement too
And nobody ever realises that the 2nd movement is beautiful
Well as a piano learner I understand why the 1st and 3rd movement receive much more attention. The 1st one is like entrance level for beginners, like anyone can learn that piece in a couple of days and brag about it ( imagine how cool it is to tell your friends "I can play moonlight sonata" ), and the 3rd one is definitely a way for pros to show off their skill. The 2rd movement is a beautiful piece, but definitely has 0 "wow" factor in it.
Philia Sapphire nope
Personally I love the piece of Beethoven that’s called Silencio. It’s a very calm piece and It can help you relax
There's a lot of great gateway classical music in the old Looney Tunes cartoons. Wagner-"Kill the Wabbit", Rossini-"Rabbit of Seville", etc. I read that they used classical music because it is public domain, and therefore they could use it without paying any royalties. As a kid, these were among my first exposures to classical music. Anyway, the pieces you mentioned have become iconic for good reason. It's unfortunate that their over/misuse has spoiled them a little (OK, a lot!). I have played many weddings, lots of Canon in D, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, etc. I try to just play them my best, knowing that most people's musical exposure and taste is different than mine. Cheers, guys-you always make me laugh!

Speaking of Canon...
honourable mantion for 1812 overture
nobody:
Tchaikovsky: lets use cannons
honourable mention for toccata and fugue
Fun fact: Tchaikovsky HATED that piece. He wrote it for a quick cash grab because he was running a bit short. And he phoned it in really hard. And then it became super popular. He thought it was too noisy.
I somehow thought it would be the Blue Danube. That's probably the one played on TV the most. But I never exactly realised how commonly we hear Canon in D. Most fancy restaurants play it!

I was listening to an orchestral version of it earlier and I genuinely had some tears for it. Listening all the way through just makes you think of the soaring sun going across mountains and valleys and rivers. I don't know, it just hits the spot
it's a tradition in my house to listen to the live concert! the first day of the year the tv broadcasts it from Vienna and it's a very exciting time every year
That is an interesting tradition! Thanks for sharing it with us.
That's so cool. In my country they almost killed the only radio that was dedicated to classical music... Luckily one of the big universities rescued it (idk if it works like this in other countries but in mine universities are the owners of half the country (like radios, random plots of land, even soccer teams))
You mean, it isn't Edelweiss???

"The hills are alive, with the sound of music..." 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
In turkey, the school bells are ringing with "Für Elise" and it's actually everywhere, that's sooooo annoying

Ode to joy, nocturne no 9, and 1812 overture.
Would like to have a word with you.
moonlight sonata, come along too, you too Beethoven's ninth symphony.
Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor has come to the chat 😩
Ride of the Valkyries? William Tell Overture
*fourth grade music class flashbacks*
They are just popular, not overplayed
As a German, it sounds kinda weird to me when "eine kleine Nachtmusik" is shortened to "eine kleine"
Since it's "a little night music/serenade" so that's just like saying "a little" xD
But I guess "Nachtmusik" is kinda hard to pronounce... Considering most people who don't know German pronounce the ch as a k-sound it would sound like "Nacktmusik" (Naked music)
So maybe it's better like that...
Fur Elise.
new friend: so you're a pianist?
me: yes.
new friend: OMG CAN YOU PLAY FUR ELISE BY BEETHOVEN
me: *dies inside*
-
edit: tysm for so many likes i wasn't expecting

Each times a non pianist ask me to play it's always fur Elise.. but yesterday a friend of mine asked me : can you play ... Winter wind from Chopin... Almost killed him
Or even worse:
Non-pianist: I CAN PLAY FUR ELISE
**plays only the first 9 notes**
Me: *screeches internally*

Here in the Philippines, Für Elise got some words in it.
"Tapon, tapon niyo basura niyo."
means
"Throw, throw your trash."

My ex-girlfriend is mainland Chinese. When I visited her family in mainland for the 1st time, her mom rented out a small concert hall, sat in the front row and told me to play fur elise as she believed that was the empitome of recognizing talented musicians...
She was quickly dissapointed to hear I couldnt play the piece. Despite the other pieces I played and thought were better xD
that's pretty sad.
Good her daughter is your ex already. Mainland Chinese people are unbearable.
And next up on things that never happened...
and that's why her daughter is now your ex :P
Sounds like a parvenu.
Good thing she's your ex because only uneducated person wants to hang with these... thing.
