Eddy: "99 million! Almost 1 billion!"
And this is why Eddy's a musician, not a mathematician
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Sheeeeeesh
*disappointed asian mother noises*
That's why they met in math tutoring
TwoSet: * forgets Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 with 175 million views *
Chopin: * sad Eb major noises *
Defenitely was shocked they didn't put it
I thought it was going to be number 1
E sharps in the chat
Underrated
sad pianist noises
I’m surprised Für Elise doesn’t make it
True!
probably cus it’s usually piano these r like violins
And Eine Kleine Nacht Musik
Fr
I mean....it’s just a piano piece
Don't get it wrong; it's not that these pieces are overrated, they're getting the attention they deserved; the others are underrated
Except Pachelbel.
That's actually a really good way to put it.
@@clarinetJWD I don't know if Canon in D is overrated , but It's one of the most beautiful pieces. (I don't get bored because I don't hear it in every wedding in our country .)
@@subratanandy2142 it IS overrated and overused. Plus, it's so boring compared to other pieces and I feel so bad for Cello players when they have to play it at people's weddings.
@@subratanandy2142 This! I NEVER hear it played at our weddings.
Pachabell's Canon in D is only 9th because not everyone is getting married
I mean, you aren't wrong
Stop hurting me 😭💔
Th-this is deep
True
OH NO. I guess I will remain single lol
Mozart's Lacrimosa is *so* strange. It's creepy, depressing, epic, soothing and disturbing, all at once. One of my absolute favorites.
Totally
I like to think he wrote his own requiem (and not for his commissioner). An expression of him having so much more to give but knowing that he's going to die.
And that’s why they use it Hunter x Hunter 😎
Super popular for a reason, it's a favorite
spot on - was first exposed to it when we were 15 and made to sing it by our school at opera house - unreal !!!
Chopin: "Am I a joke to you?"
His second nocturne got more view than Moonlight
Fr!!!
maybe the reason is most of Chopin's pieces only have numbers instead of names, so people don't even know what keywords should they use to find them (つ∀`)
BLACK??? KEYSSS?
Chopin never named any pieces. The only piece he named was Funeral Marche. Everything else was kept as Opus and Number format. Mainly publishers named his work, which he didn’t like lol.
I don't care how overplayed it is, Ode to Joy is freaking iconic. Chills every time.
When the pandemic cancelled my chorus' spring concert, I took solace in the fact that I wouldn't have to perform the very drab and stodgy re-arrangement our music committee chose.
I feel the same about the first movement of the 5th symphony
the best classical hands down
The first thing I thought was *a lot of views also because it's the European Union Anthem* 👀
This entire comment section is people just hating things for being popular. No wonder people look at classically trained people like guttertrash. You base your entire worldview filled with envy and spite over things being successful.
“Air on the G string” could be the name for a Hiphop song
lmao, oh thats terrible
I see what you did there
LMFAOOO
Oh dear XDD
Oh ew
I was surprised not to see Fur Elise, Handel's Messiah, Nessun Dorma, Carmen or Carmina Burana in there. Or of course you guys' favourite Bumblebee
I was SO surprised Nessun Dorma wasn't there, given that among opera arias it's probably the most famous.
or Ravel's Bolero.
Handel's Messiah - at least the Halleluiah Chorus is a surprise.
The last one sounds S A C R E L I G I O U S
also ‘In the hall of the mountain king’ and “Eine Klein Nachtmusik”
Chopin nocturne in Eb major has 175 million views but isn’t on the list?
_visible confusion_
i was waiting for it :(
same
me too.
Changes over time ig
UA-cam sometimes restricts videos by region so that might contribute to Chopin being missed.
The fact Vivaldi died basically unknown after his popularity earlier in his life, and remained forgotten until the recoring era, now THAT's what you call a comeback.
Probably even more of a comeback than Bach's comeback, where he was also forgotten until Mendelssohn showed up and was like "yo, this st matthew passion is bussin on god fr" and everyone else was like "bruh let him cook" 😂
Nocturne op 9 no 2 with 175 mil views: Am I a joke to you?
Yea they forgot about that
upvote
My thoughts exactly
Chopin is romantic era
@@CookieMasterRBLX They include so many other pieces not from the classical era though.
Do you realise how much making us hear the first and second movements of the Moonlight Sonata without ANY glimpse of the third is SACRALIGEOUS ?!
Absolutely. The third movement IS one of the best pieces of piano music written by Beethoven.
Listen to Vivaldi's 4 seasons on Baroque instruments. Now you can really hear the thunder, the joyful spring winds and the summer heat. It makes such a difference. I don't mind too much for other renaissance/baroque pieces, but for this one, it's amazing.
Yeah, I listened to Summer played by the Voices of Music ensemble. It was fantastic.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 they even make Canon in D sound okay.
@@bachagain1685 Yeah, LOL!!
Maybe try expanding your horizons. There is quite a lot of baroque stuff just as delightful as Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
You must listen to his own arrangement for strings AND winds. (Dresden Version)
- "Moonlight is... OK."
- Doesn't play 3rd movement 😔
3rd movement is my favorite part too! It’s so epic to play on piano and challenging. I also love some techno versions of it lol 😂
3rd evokes smurfs. If you think Eddie is triggered by Pachelbel...
I like the 3rd movement, but I think it's in that category of popular piano works (along with Fantasie-Impromptu) that advanced players learn pretty early on that they get sick of pretty quickly because for whatever reason, people are way more impressed by it than works that are many times harder. Sort of like Vivaldi's "Summer" of piano, if you will.
My sadness is immeasurable and my day ii ruined
3M is epic
Eddy: talking about Four Seasons.
Editor San: Plays Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.
I expected Eine Kleine to be one of the first five most listened hahah
ROFL, I noticed that as well!
Mozart fan like me then. Go editor san
Yeaaaaaahhh? Weird !!!!!!
Thank you for your comment!
I thought I had lost the plot for a moment there
Clair de lune is also my favorite, although it makes me sad bcs it was like an offering to my sister while she was battling cancer. I brute forced that piece because it calmed my sister back then when her legs were in pain (my parents were the ones taking care of her most of the times, so I'm mostly on the piano). I no longer know how to play the piece completely these days which makes me even sadder. but despite of all that sadness, I still love that piece because it reminds me so much of the great times.
And at the opposite end, to me Clair de Lune is my love song, lullaby, favorite piece to play and listen ever. I always play it each time I got in front of a piano.
Ravel: Pavane Pour une infante defunte is better… sadly there is no good version on youtube. Revel himself played it too fast in some parts. It should start out slower and the player should take more liberty with the speed for effect. Highlighting the space between the notes.
So cute
Some of the reasons why these pieces got those number of views:
-every member of the orchestra played the videos on loop
-these videos are added to study/sleep playlists
I totally didn't expect Shostakovich Waltz 2 to be here... It surely deserves it though...
It is in sooo many films, maybe that's why?
That's the one I wasn't familiar with. I did think Fur Elise would be there, haha.
@@oxoelfoxo Fur Elise is a phone connection and elevator music ... I think even non classical musicians are fed up with it (same use for "Eine kleine Nachtmusik")
@@blauespony1013 Really? I don't think I've heard it anywhere...
The Waltz is so iconic though. I was fully expecting it to be featured on the vid.
I uploaded Four Seasons right at the beginning of when UA-cam began allowing uploads longer than 15 minutes. No more part 1,part 2 nonsense. I decided to upload that because it was my favorite thing to listen to at the time. It's incredible how many people it's touched, and I love reading comments about how it helps people through their day.
It unfortunately pulled a ton of traffic away from my original music but I could never imagine taking it down.
Omg I was just watching that video wondering how you ended up with the main vid for four seasons lmao
Thank you for uploading
@@esverker7018 omg that was you what. I would mention it to everyone I meet if I were you 😂
@@michaela_xo He said it is not his recording. What to be proud of? Nice number of views? I feel it is kinda devastating ... "you know I uploaded random recording and get 0.2 billion views on my channel!" "Wow so you get millions of view for your music too?" "Nah, just couple of hundreds...".
Feel bad for you..., @evan
@@mapron1 who shat in your cornflakes this morning. Yeh it’s sad but I mean he/she/they is still getting exposure. I’d take it
Mozart's Lacrimosa was used in a scene in Hunter x Hunter, where the Phantom Troupe did a massacre in Yorknew City...which is eerie and taunting but also really fits the characters and story.
Yeah that scene was epic
Claire de Lune, despite being overplayed and hackneyed to death is still top tier, and not just harmony-wise
twoset subtly roasting four seasons after they made merch out of it
don't think it was subtle man ahah
I Know that Vivaldi's Four Seasons will be on the top.
I was just thinking the same thing
Ah yes a classic
of course it got to be
i thought the same when I saw the title
Yep!
Surprised these (and some others) didn't make top ten:
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Blue Danube, Toccata and Fugue, Fur Elise.
I'm guessing that these songs are so widely known and so often played/performed, there were no "definitive versions" of it on UA-cam, and the views got distributed more evenly.
That would also explains why Canon in D only got 9th place.
Sadly there isn't many official channels for classical music with high-quality recording, most of the stuff on youtube is uploaded by random people of varying quality, and soo many people reupload the same song that I think the views for each piece should be way higher since in comparison there are only one or two official videos on youtube for popsong, etc making them have an easier time to concentrate their view into the video
Like, could you imagine the number of views Mozart would get if he had a youtube channel since he was alive?
I was surprised Chopin’s nocturne op 9 no 2 didn’t make it, then saw it has 175 million views. 🤔
It’s not classical it’s romantic era
@@CookieMasterRBLX Nor is Debussy’s Claire de lune, or Shostakovich’s waltz. Beethoven was early romantic too.
And it's my favorite too
@@salazin466 and Debussy is also an impressionist
Yes, I was surprised too
Brett correcting Eddy’s math
Me: I believed a lie all these years?
Looks like someone practiced after the last video...
Here in Italy "Air on the G string" is one of the most famous and recongisable pieces, because it was used for 40+ years as the intro for a TV science program, "Superquark". In italian culture (both pre-meme and post-meme) it has become synonimous with science and education itself, even as a parody!
And then, of course, Beethowen 9th last movement is the hymn of the European Union, no other "country" can flex such a piece! :D (I really wish "country" was not in quotes...)
Oddio superquark oddio ma da quanto che non lo vedooo??????
I know musicians dont usually like Andre Rieu, but for many people he was the front door for classical music. In my country there was a free religious tv channel that played him almost every weekend, and i saw it with my dad and sometimes with my grandmother, i asked them to put in "Andre Rieu Channel" and it made my childhood very happy. I saw waltz after the preys while eating or making cake with granny or while dad was cooking or working from home. It was like this until maybe my 8 years old, of course they played another conductors, but he was the familys favorite because he is fun. It kinda hurted the way you guys looked at him, but i still love the channel and both of you. Stay healthy guys ♡
Same I loved his shows , it made me fall in love with the violin 😍
Same. It's schmaltzy as hell, but people go to the concerts, have a blast, listen to great music that I also love, and go home smiling. I'm fine with it, even if I never buy a ticket.
My mom used to watch his concerts on TV, my Dad said he's annoying because his smile looks so fake. I agree with both of them. Can't look at his face, but the music is beautiful. Also, I think there are many people listening to classical music because him.
Why musicians don't like him though?
@@heeyoo9852 a lot of musicians think his performances felt faked and forced. Like how TwoSet made the joke about the second violin smiling uncomfortably because it was in his contract
Bruh chopin's nocturne has 175 mil views, y'all got a wrong list
Chopin is romantic not classical
@@CookieMasterRBLXClair de lune and Canon in D aren't classical
@@CookieMasterRBLX Classical music encompasses quite the wide spectrum of different styles, from baroque to impressionistic to modernistic and so on. It's just called classical music for some reason
@JACOB H your last point isn't relevant lol
@JACOB H but if you're going by Era, yes, a lot of people in your list aren't classical era composers
10. Beethoven's 5th Symphony
9. Pachabel Canon in D
8. Mozart- Lacrimosa
7. Bach- Air on the G String
6. Shostakovich- Waltz no. 2
5. Debussy- Claire de Lune

Thanks for sharing.
whats weird is that the nocturne op 9 no 2 (chopin) has 200 million views right now which should make it number 2, but it isn't even on the list.
@@kairon5249 people are fickle but sometimes unaware outside of their field of view (blinders.)

and thats why they met at math tutoring
Beethoven's Moonlight sonata is my favourite classical piece. And guess what I know the 2nd movement. I love the whole piece not just the 1st and 3rd movements.
I’m gonna make a statement:
1. Vivaldi - Four Seasons
(1.5 Chopin - Nocturne op. 9 no. 2)
2. Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
3. Beethoven - Symphony no. 9
4. Mozart - Requiem
5. Debussy - Clair de Lune
6. Shostakovich - waltz no. 2
7. Bach - Air in G string
8. Mozart - Lacrimosa
9. Pachelbel - Canon in D
10. Beethoven - 5th Symphony
Piano gangs!!! We’ve got 4 on the board, so proud of all of US 🥳
I think these b****es intentionally left out Chopin. I'm so f*****g triggered.

While Mozart did get represented on the list, I'm surprised not to see Eine kleine Nachtmusik.
Probably because only German speakers are more likely to remember the name to search for UA-cam.
@@kwanarchive that makes so much sense.....
@@kwanarchive I'm Italian and I know it but you're right - no one here knows it lmaoo
you did. they played it over the vivaldi section. I can't tell if it was s a joke
I was kinda expecting Dvorák’s New World Symphony to be on here
I LOOOVE DVORAKS NEW SYMPHONY
1:39 I would say that Mendelssohn's wedding march is way more played that Canon in D.
Im just happy that The Flight of the Bumblebee was not on the list. Maybe there's hope for humanity after all-
Tbh it’s not a bad piece, you can appreciate the perfection of someone playing it well
Is that even "classical" geez lol
Simple fact that most people know, "Ode to Joy" is European Union's "national anthem" piece. Edit: THE HECK, where is Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement, the first speed metal piece in the history of music, ffs!
Moonlight Sonata was #2, what are you talking about?
I'd give the "first speed metal piece" title to the third movement of Vivaldi's "Summer".
Really, I'm quite triggered that they didn't include the 3rd movement. It's fabulous
@@l.s.8793 They left the 3rd movement out
The 3rd movement is my favorite too.
Fun fact: the ode to joy (Beethoven - symphony n° 9) is the official anthem of the European Union
Dude, I love Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra! The concerts look so fun. I love it when they play a fun waltz or other piece that everyone knows and the audience sways altogether to the tempo. My interest in classical music would not be so great now if it wasn't for his concerts on PBS.
I object to the statement “Moonlight Sonata is overrated”, the third movement is an absolute masterpiece, I wish two set listened to it in the video
I think it is... There are so many harder pieces
Eh I wouldn’t say masterpiece
@@MiloMcCarthyMusic For piano, Hammerklavier sonata is better, IMO
@@imdark7372 eh I’m more of a late romantic period guy myself
@@MiloMcCarthyMusic Ok, but I was talking about Beethoven's life. Hammerklavier > Moonlight
IMHO, the worst of "The Four Seasons" is that it obscures the rest of Vivaldi's work, which is so good, and sometimes, even better.
Absolutely! The Four Seasons is great but so many people only know Vivaldi for that, when it's probably not even in my top 20 pieces that he wrote.
exactly, vivaldi have made so many better pieces than the four seasons
Same with Pachelbel, like I really do not know anything he wrote other than the canon and some random chaconne I played in 8th grade
Yes! Vivaldi is probably my favourite composer, but I actually never, or very rarely listen to Four Seasons. I prefer many others of his compositions
Oh, absolutely AGREED! Vivaldi's violin concertos in A, D, and B Minor and his sacred works are much better than the "Four Seasons", but I still love the latter. "The Four Seasons" is not the peak of Vivaldi, but merely the door that opens to greater things.
2:25 I just finished practice and I've been subscribed for 5 years 🫡
09:00 how tf am I supposed to keep a straight face when Eddy just spouts “I can’t hear, I’m deaf”?
Calling it before watching, für Elise is no 1

ah yes almost forgot about that. but sadly, kids here just know the sound, not the name:((
@@lanselocher9029 so true
red priest... but yeah :P
red monk caught me off guard
Vivaldi's Four Seasons is the gateway drug to classical music. Young people listen to it and think "it's pretty good, classical music might even be my cuppa tea". Maybe it's overplayed but it's still great because it leads you on a journey of discovery. So it serves a great purpose.
As a musician it's a different issue, Twoset are super bored by it. 🥱
Summer (3rd movement) and Spring (1st movement) are probably overplayed. However, Winter and Autumn are so underrated, especially Autumn because Idk if most people even know how Autumn sounds like.
Yup. That's where I started 😂
@@anonymousviolinist8135 Lmao, me too!! Summer and Winter are still my favorites.
@@vanivashisht7305 I remember listening to Winter on repeat
For me it was Dvorak
Me : *Here already expecting Symphony No. 5, Canon in D, The Four Seasons and The Blue Danube*
Also Me : *Shocked to find Waltz No. 2 and Clair de Lune higher than Canon in D*
Oh yeah, I’m kinda surprised Danube didn’t make the cut.
As a non musician, i only learned about canon in d because I saw a video saying maroon 5's song "memories" sounded like canon in d,so yeah it's not nearly as popular as musicians think it is.however,I'm now more cultured about classical music.
I love just hearing them discuss the pieces and what makes them special. It would be awesome to see a full length video where they just analyze a piece :)
I agree with you totally on this.
I have to say, all those pieces are the typical pieces you would find in like an 'introduction to classical music' kind of CD. And also, in Europe the Vienna New Year's Concert is a staple, and I feel like I've listened to those pieces in that concert over the years and they repeat them because the audience loves them
Fyi : Chopin - Nocturne 9 op 2 should be second with approximately 175+millions of views :). Great video !!
@JACOB H Damn, you got me good
Oh, so you play violin? Can you play Canon in D?
*sighs in Twoset*
cellos: *heavy breathing*
So you play drums? Can you play Ravel Bolero?
So you play piano? Can you play Fur Elise?
So you don't play an instrument? Can you play Cage's 4:33 though?
@@amvalkyrie6496 you kidding me?!?!? That piece is my JAM. 😂😂
Although 4 seasons is so overplayed, I will never forget, how it made me fall in love with classical music when I was 15-16. In my household, we never played classical music, but pop, and disco polo (yes, I'm from Poland). We did listen to classical pieces in music lessons in school, but you know, everybody needs to discover that by themselves. And I won't forget that feeling when I first listened to four seasons.
Oh I still get a thrill out of 4 seasons, I just let some years get by before replaying it. It's over-played, but NOT overrated.
Fun fact: Claire de Lune was the first ever recorded noise in human history. It was recorded in 1860 by Léon Scott de Martinville.
Edit : the first recorded piece is actually Au Clair de la lune, my mistake
No, "Clair de Lune" was written by Debussy in 1890, the first ever recorded sound was a french nursery rhyme called "Au clair de la lune" which are two differents pieces
@@gaelprugnaud1147 my apologies, I didn't realise they were different pieces. Still a cool fact
Unpopular opinion: I actually really like Canon in D (if it's played well).
(And i play cello, btw)
Its popular for a reason ;)
And your pfp is piano keys 😁😂
i play classsical piano and still like it too...it's truly masterpiece that's why people really like it :)
I played it in guitar. I dont see why people hate it. For me its motivational if you play this. Also in my country, people not use canon in d in their wedding song. They use their own cultural pop song. But not canon in d. So i dont feel bored listening into it
It's the trauma 😜
(Me too, but I don't play cello)
Winter is the only piece I really, really like in Four Seasons. The rest are "eh, it's alright.".
I expected Fur Elise to be there though
I actually really like The Four Seasons and the imagery each movement gives me. I've just started listening to classical music again and I forgot just how great The Four Seasons is. Overplayed, maybe. But still amazing
same
First movement of summer is nice too
Spring was decent too
WOW!! I really believed Tchaikovsky would be in top places!!
Singing Mozart's Dies Irae got me into classical music. When I was a kid, I used to go to this week-long summer camp at a state college, and every year it was amazing. We would have a bunch of kids all really passionate about music all coming together to learn 3-6 pieces per class throughout the week. Summer of 6th grade, it was my first time singing in a choir of more than 50 people (pretty sure we had 80 kids from ages 12-15), and just being able to hear all of the different voice parts in the auditorium during rehearsal was a transcendental experience. I haven't sung the piece since, but I can still remember my part and all of the lyrics.
If my memory doesn't deceive me, the second waltz was written by Shostakovich as sort of a mocking/joke into the face of people saying that his music is often depressing and rather moody, or that he was kinda pressured into writing something "jolly" and he wrote this in the sense of "f*ck you"?? or maybe that's just a myth
I would love if this were true
I find this so strange cuz I find this piece so sad in a weirdly nostalgic way 😭😂
In my country, this piece was used 30 years ago in an ad for a life asssurance. It was a massive hit, everybody knew the short film they made with it. Till this day, I can't listen to it without visualizing the entire ad.
Thansk, "CNP Assurance"... for ruining for me what is one of the most beautiful piece I know. 😐
Well, that does really sounds like something shostakovich would do :D
Totally likely, but then there's the first movement of the 15th Symphony which is, in part, a hoot, and which he wrote on his actual deathbed. Very layered, Shostakovich.
Brett and Eddy: "I just feel like Mozart's Requiem was so different from all his other music"
Me: "duh, it's a funeral mass"
Still.. he kinda wrote it on his death bed .. hence not complete .. love it
Understanding the progression of Beethoven's 9th seriously made me tear up.
How about the recap of all movements just before the Ode to Joy (sometimes considered as the 4th movement)? It blew my mind when I found that out.
Something I love about Beethoven is how many of his works are a journey from despair to joy, those are my fav works.
Lacrimosa is one of my favorites. When we sang it in a concert held in Sampung Mga Daliri at CCP, I felt goose bumps with the entrance 2-note slurs from the strings. I was an alto then. I enjoyed harmonizing which singing the second voice of the melody of Lacrimosa. Mozart might be sighing with those 2 notes, like crying.
It's not that people don't make it to the second movement of moonlight sonata, it's that they skip it and listen to the third movement
I love the second movement!
Agreed.... i do that too lol

Amazing top 10 list! The four seasons and moonlight sonata are my favorite! 🎻🎼❤️😍
I share the same love as Eddy’s for Clair de lune. Like, even though it’s relatively popular now, its musical effectivity hasnt been killed and stays the same genius for such a “basic” piece as Debussy thinks.
there's a surge of popularity in the past decade because edward cullen played it in the twilight books
It’s one of the gratest examples of «beauty in simplicity» I think Ive ever heard.
Eddy: "LMAO do you like Canon in D and the 4 seasons? What a noob they're so overplayed AHAHAHAH"
Also Eddy: "OMG Clair de Lune is my favourite piece I always play it when I get at the piano"
Hi
I suspect our thinking it's overplayed is due to being in the piano side of classical music

What a great list! Some are so surprising! Agree about the Shostakovich : doesn’t sound like his usual music. Hugely famous in France since used for an insurance commercial. Thank you for your terrific work! But why don’t you like the Pachalbel?
Shostakovich waltz no2 is my favorite. There's something so innately beautiful about it..
If you ever run out of ideas you can make "Top most viewed pieces on UA-cam, but our favorite performances".
But I think they can't find one for Canon in D.
Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm happy to see you commenting under TwoSet videos. Your channel is awesome and needs publicity, I'm really glad to see that your amount of subscribers has almost doubled in the last two months. It's totally deserved, keep up the good work ! 😊👍🏼
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia Thank you! I think the music Brett and Eddy discuss and play is worth being discovered by more people. I'm going through old videos at the moment to find more interesting playlist candidates. If you have a wish feel free to send me a message.

Yep, and let's be honest, we're all a little bit lazy. We all prefer to click on a playlist that contains everything we want, rather than having to spend 30 minutes looking for each piece one by one... which is one of the reasons your compilations are so useful ! 😊
Since you ask, I would love to have a playlist with all the concertos that are used in TwoSet's "Concerto Batttle", and I'm sure others would also be interested. There are 8 of them, if I'm not mistaken : Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius, Bruch, Mendelssohn, Lalo and Wienawski.

Guys you should absolutely check out Andre Rieu! He performs with his Orchestra eny kind of classical stuff, but he does it in a poular way withut ever be not correct. Some elitists and purists hate him and many passionates love him. I really would love to know your opinion on him and maybe react to some performances of him.
Yes! And they really ARE that happy! It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Seeing the Vienna New Year’s Concert (on video only, cuz $$$$$) is really amazing, but it’s so serious and no one seems to be having the kind of fun that Andre’s orchestra does.
Only just started watching: Lacrimosa will definitely be on this list.
You were right
and my brain immediately references Evanescence's Lacrymosa xD
Didnt expect tbh
not even foreshadowing
we all already knew
My guess is canon in D lol
Moonlight Sonata 2nd movement: *You guys think you're so much better than me."
1st and 3rd movements: "Yes."
You don’t seriously think 1st and 3rd are better do you?
@@gandalfgrey91 I do. Especially the 3rd.
@@brian0057 nuts!
@@brian0057 on the subject of the third, though

Man, the 3rd movement is just so good, it sounds awesome in any style.
I will say this about Vivaldi Four Seasons: when I first heard "Winter" Allegro non molto as a kid it was the first time I was ever blown tf away by a piece of classical music. It was the first time I appreciated a piece in and of itself, rather than just being inundated by the usual cliche material on TV or made to play something on an instrument.
"so THAT'S what violin can sound like" -10 year-old me
Bach Air on G string is very evocative for me as probably one of the first classical pieces I’d ever heard. I was a toddler in the mid 1950’s and it was played on the commercial radio station to introduce the upcome funerals in our town. So I heard it daily and was mesmerized. What a treat to eventually discover the classical radio station. I never played anything other than percussion for fun but thankyou gentlemen for being the bringers of music.
I remembered that Chopin’s nocturne has 175M views......some lost pieces there
But there are too many pieces to not lose any of most view of them😂😂
True! I thought it would be the 1st or 2nd.
Yes
That's true.
Romantic era not classical
@@CookieMasterRBLX is that refer to the Classical era????? Then why Beethoven 9 and Debussy are there????
"Bet you didn't know how the second movement sounds"
Me, a non-musician who knows how the whole sonata goes: *try me.*
I like how even a fraction of a second of Bret’s LoFi can reproduce the feeling of anxiety or despair
What I wouldn't give for a TwoSet podcast where Brett and Eddy just talk about different pieces and musical history.
4:45:
Eddy : Hahaha, that guy “i must smile because of my contract”
Me; mate ! That’s André Riue son !
I thought Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 would make it to the list.
Yeah it has more than a 100 million views if I remember correctly
@@nikalgurung9089 yeah it has 175 million
Its 175 million
:(
Chopin is romantic era
喜歡聽你們分析樂曲的意境!
I love the second movement the most actually of the moonlight sonata.
The thing with the 4 seasons, is that among all the movements it's hard not to find one you actually like. It conveys a lot of different emotions and atmospheres. Helps to get the views to apply to as many ppl as possible. Vivaldi knows how YT work XD
it isnt fair to count it as one piece, because its really like 10 violin concertos
"four seasons' is more of an album
@@kairon5249 definitely!
11:04 "I'll play canon in D at a funeral"... they did. At my grandma's cremation no less. It was SO lamentable it's not even funny.
In France, pachelbel canon is not played at weddings, but the toccata and fugue in D minor is definitely : and shostakovitch waltz n°2 is also played as first dance at a lot of classy french weddings (and blue danube)
The toccata and fugue in D minor is played at weddings???? It's also often featured in horror movies and the like. I would imagine it would sound like such a bad omen to start a marriage.
Mozart Requiem is my absolute favorite. Still very new to classical music but I can basically sing the whole thing from heart. Absolute banger
Wow, I've never heard Mozart's work described as an "absolute banger", specially the Requiem. You nailed it lol
My favourite description of Clair the Lune is one that co-relates the five stages of grief by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross-
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
If you look for those elements in the sound, you can differentiate the emotions.
To me it's a bitter sweet song about finding happiness in hard times.
I love Mozart's Requiem. I think his minor key pieces are special. I think his D Minor
Piano Concerto (k. 466), C Minor Piano Concert (k. 491), Rondo in A Minor (k. 511), and Fantasy in C Minor (k. 475) reveal a much deeper, and complex side to Wolfgang. 👌
Not to mention all the single movements in minor key of his hidden in many pieces in Major. For example the 2nd movements of many of his piano concertos, like the 9th, the 17th,18th,22nd, 23rd and so on
ugh I love you guys so much, you make me laugh so hard
Moonlight 3rd movement is always my favourite. Goshdarn, never tired of hearing it.
