  • I made these videos when my interest in classical music (as well as library music, etc.) was somewhat new. I am not entirely happy with them in hindsight, but they are still my most viewed. In this one, many of the popular inclusions were suggested by my father.
    The continuation of this video: • 100 Very Well-Known In...
    Another one hundred instrumentals, still very well-known, but mostly not quite as well-known as those in the first video (with the exception of some, such as "Boléro", "Brandenburg Concerto No. 3", "Maple Leaf Rag", and "Rhapsody in Blue"). Once again, this is for educational purposes, NOT COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

    3:00 in is actually not the original artist for that song, its from the 13th-century called the Dies irae or obviously more common, the funeral march, IDk if anyone knows the real original composer but definately pre-dates Hector Berlioz hundreds of years. just in case anyone was wondering.. (I know no one was.. lol)
