imagine you’re planning your wedding and your fiancé picks Canon in D somewhere in your ceremony and you don’t know about it til you walk down the aisle or see them walk down the aisle😭 Canon in Divorce
It's only 8 notes. For the entire piece! 8 notes! The conductor hands that piece to us and we put the music away and just stare at them pleading for them to say no, that it was just a cruel joke! 8 notes!
Honestly i play trombone and was in a brass quartet and i was the "cellist' of the group and i can attest. It is the cannon in pts-D I you stop mentally thinking if you arent careful and during a practice once zoned so hard i kept playing even after the song ended xP
Exactly. And musicians should be able to differentiate being annoyed by the amount of times they've had to play them, from their musical quality. Too bad people can only see black and white.
@@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.
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
Clair de Lune was my gateway to classical music! It's the first song on my spotify Classical Music playlist that I started in middle school! Now I have over 42 hours of music on that playlist!
There are also two clairs de lune! There is a Faure one which I learned how to sing (I probably can't sing it anymore, my range dropped from sort of soprano to alto/contralto) and then there is the Debussy one, which is the more famous instrumental piece
I was hired for a wedding once, the bride asked if we could play this song on a loop throughout the entire wedding. So we said sure. She pulls it up on her phone and it's our worst nightmare Canon in D... So we ask "How long's the wedding?" She answer, nonchalantly. "Oh it ends at eight!" It was 6 in the morning. "Oh in the morning?" "No! At night!" And that is the story on how I played Canon in D for fourteen hours and only three breaks... P.S Yes, I was the cellist...
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...
Lol as a beginner violist who bought a piano recently, just to show that my parents didnt wasted money, I had to learn Fur Elise in 2 days in front of my whole family.
Samantha Collins wait if you are dan then why are you called Samantha Edit: i just realized that samantha was replying to dan by saying their name therefore this comment is dumb
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.

As a European, this is our fucking anthem as a Continent... too much... Though as I live in the UK and moreso am involved in rememberance marches, Marching band music to me is overplayed lol
I first heard Canon in D probably 20 years ago, listening to the radio in the car, it was playing and I just sat in the parking lot listening to it. I was mesmerized...then slowly over time, I kept hearing it more and more, so when it came to #1 on your list I thought "Pachelebel's Canon" and sure enough.
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 ;;;
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
In India, you will get it as a reverse gear tune from cars. And i still have no idea what instrument they used, cause it sounds like a horse being strangled.
My family is Taiwanese, I visited Taiwan for 2 full weeks and experienced for myself every night, EVERY NIGHT, either für elise or the maiden's prayer, and the way the garbage trucks played it is so unpleasantly grating omg lol! Love Taiwan
(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
The first video I watched of them which captured me into becoming a twosetter and they became such a big part of my life. I’m so glad they brought back their videos and I can watch this video again
As an opera singer, my addition to this list is the queen of the night aria from the magic flute. Its hilarious when commercials use it as a calming song but its actually a lady telling her daughter to murder her own father 😂
Sarastro is not the father. The father died and gave all his magic to a good wizard who was Sarastro. So the queen gives the knife to Pamina (her daughter) to kill Sarastro
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
In my country (Turkey), most of the schools use Für Elise as the school bell. I can't count how many times I had to listen to that intro in my school life and probably this is one of the reasons why I hated playing the original piece during my piano lectures.

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.
I played that song for a wedding two weeks ago 🙄 The bride came up to me like “omg, thank you so much! I almost cried” and I was just thinking to myself... I cry on the inside... but not from joy 🙄🙄😂 (flautist)
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
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.

@@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
there was this one guy who went to my cultural school (he turned 18 and moved to amsterdam) who played the tuba. like 4-5 years ago he played czardas. on a tuba. and it was awesome, and also my first exposure to the piece. because of this i always think it sounds kind of wonky when i hear it played on the violin. its SO much more impressive on the tuba because of how much more difficult it is to play fast. i really miss that guy
The number of people who use moonlight sonata as a comparison for difficulty of ANY piano piece in a youtube video is ridiculous. I guarantee no one in the comment sections of those piano videos can play it, but it's all the rage.
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.
I thought Mozart's Requiem in D would be on your list. It seems like I've heard bits of it played in many movies & shows. I love Requiem so much, I used to listen to it over & over, I had all the Latin memorized at one point, but I'm rusty now. It's one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.
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
I feel like these songs (no hate lol) are the only reason some people think classical music is boring. they've only really heard these pieces and then just put the entire subject of classical music under them.
I remember at least half of these pieces from German ads for dish soap or laundry detergent. I shouldn’t have flying dishes in my head when hearing these
Oh my gosh you guys called me out rn. I'm originally a violinist but I tried to learn playing the piano as well. I played for a while but then I quit, right after learning to play Für Elise.
I remember at a family meeting my aunt saw the piano her brother had and said "please play Für Elise!" and he was awkwardly laughing like "hah... thanks but I'm fine, I don't want to play". I tried really hard to not laugh.
Someone plays Violin with bad phrasing on Eddy's marriage... Eddy: grabbs the bow and shows how to phrase correctly. Violinist: WTF I already see that comming
I agree with Canon. My husband and I have played it at SO MANY WEDDINGS! As a wind player I also hate Pomp and Circumstance. It’s right in the range on the clarinet where it’s more commonly out of tune in comparison to the rest of the instrument, so by the time you’ve played it a couple of dozen times during a graduation ceremony, your mouth is so sore from the minor adjustments. Ugh!
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
As a pianist, I’ve been asked at least 150 times to play either Canon in D or für Elise. So, to all non-musicians… please stop, although i get why u enjoy those
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.
Coming from a pianist: Every beginner piano student (especially if they're like 4-5 years old) learns the melody in C major, which isn't the original key. I'm 100% sure that the melody is in a beginner piano book like Bastien or Thompson and is titled "Ode to Joy" or "Song of Joy"
1:55 actually Beethoven 5 is one of the pieces I listen to the most because of these two simple reasons 1. It’s epic and easy to listen, a great symphony tbh 2. It’s loud enough so I can hear it clearly while showering and it’s 1st movement has more or less the same amount of time I take in the shower Probably my Nº1 shower piece
That's the big problem with most other classical music, sadly. The quietness and the lack of sound is one of classical music's draws, but also the problem when you can't hear anything.
@@HenryMidfields ? In my opinion, most music isn’t loud enough to hear in the shower, not just classical And if you really search into the non super mainstream pieces, you’ll actually find a lot of loud pieces by composers such as shostakovich, mahler, some of beethoven’s least famous piano sonatas and many others
@@sla7889 Most popular music (maybe with the exception of jazz) can either be cranked up to a reasonable volume on a (waterproof) radio or speaker, because there's not much variety in the dynamics (and you don't end up having super-loud sections that make your ears bleed), is what I'm getting at.
@@HenryMidfields I get what you’re saying In my opinion that’s a good thing, even though maybe it gets less appealing to the great public because of this
@@sla7889 Admittedly I haven't elabourated as much as I should. Don't get me wrong, I very much prefer the variety of dynamics that classical music has. It's more that the same thing makes them more tricky to listen to via a speaker. Almost all of my computer speakers can't pick up anything softer than a piano (as in the dynamics opposed to forte) - especially for low strings like cellos or contrabass playing in the lower octaves. I have to massively crank the speakers up, which then either causes distortion in my speakers or makes the fortissimo tutti section later in the same piece too loud. To this day, only a Bose speaker that I recently bought can give the sound depth and clarity similar to hearing the same music live in a concert hall without any of the extra trouble adjusting the volume.
I'm a organist. Me: Playing a some song on organ X: Can you play this scary music? Me: Toccata and Fugue d-moll? X: no no no, these scary music Me: *Playing a Toccata and Fugue d-moll* X: Yeees! That's it!
They would always want us to play a song or piece, but really doesn't bother to remember what the name is. If someone would see musicians play, 90% of the time the musicians, would be asked to play a song or piece that the person asked them to.
It's kinda true though. Well at least for me. That's the last piece I learned before I took a 2-year break from the piano. I actually never thought I would've gotten back into it.
I quit playing piano after 5 years of learning for personal reasons, found motivation to play the piano again after 6 years of quiting. Then my teacher told me that I should play this freaking piece. I quit again :))
Despite me learning this one song (that is supposedly a bit difficult) before i ACTUALLY started...i quit. Yikes. I want to get back into it but i mever have enough time.

Speaking of Ravel, I'm surprised you didn't mention Bolero. I feel like I've heard that a million times in films/TV
Canon in D: exists
Cellists: Am I a joke to you?
Yes...
violists as well
Im a cellist lol
1,000th like
Seriously, though. Pachelbel clearly hated any cellist in existence.
I’m from Taiwan and when I was little I didn’t know the piece was called für elise so I would always call it garbage truck
Kkkkkk omg
Wow, in Italy those trucks just do beep, beep, beep...
In Brazil this is the song of the truck that passes on the streets selling bottled has to stoves... Known as the "bottled gas" song
In India, you will get it as a reverse gear tune from cars. And i still have no idea what instrument they used, cause it sounds like a horse being strangled.
My family is Taiwanese, I visited Taiwan for 2 full weeks and experienced for myself every night, EVERY NIGHT, either für elise or the maiden's prayer, and the way the garbage trucks played it is so unpleasantly grating omg lol! Love Taiwan
My band director literally says that the band charges twice as much if they are requested Canon in D
Gotta make up for all the mental damage done to the band members

How is Bach's Air not #1? It's the most famous hook of all music. So much so, rock stole it with a Whiter Shade of Pale.
Check out a you tube video "pachelbel rant" and see how popular it is deep down.
@J. K. chill bro, he just put the literally in the wrong place.
(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
"Für Elise" isn't overplayed. Only the first 2 bars are :D
In fact, the other ones aren’t ever played by people
true, when start playing the part that is not overplayed, everyone thinks it is another ""song""
I had to play it in music class once, and everyone was impressed by the A section, but when I got to the B and C section they were more amazed...
i played fur elise for a friend...he didnt know at least 2 thirds of the piece existed.....
@@koy324 same thing haha, everyone thinks that im playing other piece
me: I play the cello
people: Can you play that cello song?
me: Yah... that cello song...
Bach never missed once.
I'm learning it on electric bass. It really is the saving grace of Baroque IMO.
Cello, fellow Cello
I play cello too, and apparently, they have you play a Bach piece every audition. I finally got my first Bach suite uwu
I play cello! #cellistsreunite

As an opera singer, my addition to this list is the queen of the night aria from the magic flute. Its hilarious when commercials use it as a calming song but its actually a lady telling her daughter to murder her own father 😂
And it sounds like it.
yessssss
Sarastro is the girls father???? Are you sure? And are indeed very hard things that the queen is saying.....
@@marcelapontes7033 im fairly sure that is what is happening but I could be wrong
Sarastro is not the father. The father died and gave all his magic to a good wizard who was Sarastro. So the queen gives the knife to Pamina (her daughter) to kill Sarastro
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
that one is not rly overplayed tbh
I agree with you! I don’t mind hearing/listening to them. However, if musicians must play them, it can become tiresome, I can imagine.
One of Twoset: going to get married

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
😆😆
Someone hire Twoset for a wedding gig and have them loop these these 10 pieces for the whole day xD

Yes!

Blab Fish I would like to see that.
In my country (Turkey), most of the schools use Für Elise as the school bell. I can't count how many times I had to listen to that intro in my school life and probably this is one of the reasons why I hated playing the original piece during my piano lectures.
My school bell is flippin sugar plum fairy
Great to see another Turkish TwoSetter. I'm still traumatized by Für Elise because of it.

there was this one guy who went to my cultural school (he turned 18 and moved to amsterdam) who played the tuba. like 4-5 years ago he played czardas. on a tuba. and it was awesome, and also my first exposure to the piece. because of this i always think it sounds kind of wonky when i hear it played on the violin. its SO much more impressive on the tuba because of how much more difficult it is to play fast. i really miss that guy
As a pianist... here are the pieces we can't hear anymore:
River flows in you
Für Elise
Chopin waltz in A minor as well.
The number of people who use moonlight sonata as a comparison for difficulty of ANY piano piece in a youtube video is ridiculous. I guarantee no one in the comment sections of those piano videos can play it, but it's all the rage.

I’m surprised Beethoven 9 movement 4 wasn’t on this list. I hear ode to joy from EVERY SINGLE PIANO STUDENT to ever touch a keyboard.
Aarya Batchu Melody: overplayed. Actual movement 4: cannot be overplayed.
The only reason it can't be overplayed is because of that double fugue, that double fugue is so good bruh.
Both the Band AND Orchestra played that this year.
Coming from a pianist: Every beginner piano student (especially if they're like 4-5 years old) learns the melody in C major, which isn't the original key. I'm 100% sure that the melody is in a beginner piano book like Bastien or Thompson and is titled "Ode to Joy" or "Song of Joy"
I played ode to joy. It was pleasant.
1:55 actually Beethoven 5 is one of the pieces I listen to the most because of these two simple reasons
1. It’s epic and easy to listen, a great symphony tbh
2. It’s loud enough so I can hear it clearly while showering and it’s 1st movement has more or less the same amount of time I take in the shower
Probably my Nº1 shower piece
That's the big problem with most other classical music, sadly. The quietness and the lack of sound is one of classical music's draws, but also the problem when you can't hear anything.
@@HenryMidfields ?
In my opinion, most music isn’t loud enough to hear in the shower, not just classical
And if you really search into the non super mainstream pieces, you’ll actually find a lot of loud pieces by composers such as shostakovich, mahler, some of beethoven’s least famous piano sonatas and many others
@@sla7889 Most popular music (maybe with the exception of jazz) can either be cranked up to a reasonable volume on a (waterproof) radio or speaker, because there's not much variety in the dynamics (and you don't end up having super-loud sections that make your ears bleed), is what I'm getting at.
@@HenryMidfields I get what you’re saying
In my opinion that’s a good thing, even though maybe it gets less appealing to the great public because of this
@@sla7889 Admittedly I haven't elabourated as much as I should. Don't get me wrong, I very much prefer the variety of dynamics that classical music has.
It's more that the same thing makes them more tricky to listen to via a speaker. Almost all of my computer speakers can't pick up anything softer than a piano (as in the dynamics opposed to forte) - especially for low strings like cellos or contrabass playing in the lower octaves. I have to massively crank the speakers up, which then either causes distortion in my speakers or makes the fortissimo tutti section later in the same piece too loud. To this day, only a Bose speaker that I recently bought can give the sound depth and clarity similar to hearing the same music live in a concert hall without any of the extra trouble adjusting the volume.

They would always want us to play a song or piece, but really doesn't bother to remember what the name is. If someone would see musicians play, 90% of the time the musicians, would be asked to play a song or piece that the person asked them to.
Not enough organists these days
Referring to Fur Elise "and once they play it they quit."
.......... I feel attacked.
It's kinda true though. Well at least for me.
That's the last piece I learned before I took a 2-year break from the piano. I actually never thought I would've gotten back into it.
I quit playing piano after 5 years of learning for personal reasons, found motivation to play the piano again after 6 years of quiting. Then my teacher told me that I should play this freaking piece. I quit again :))
It's a Level 7 piano piece: my sisters learned to play it, but I never did!
Despite me learning this one song (that is supposedly a bit difficult) before i ACTUALLY started...i quit. Yikes. I want to get back into it but i mever have enough time.
