So I watched the first episode of the British show 'We are Lady Parts', and in the episode, the main character Amina at one point is playing on stage for charity with some children, and she plays this beautiful piece of music on her acoustic guitar. I've heard the piece before and it drives me crazy not knowing what it is! Can anyone help?
Since there's a max of 6 options for a poll, I had to merge 20th century and contemporary I know they're not the same thing.
today is not a good day for me. this is my second earworm. in my head, i can hear it being played by strings/wind (maybe clarinet or oboe) so maybe a symphony? or concerto for something with orchestra?

I can find articles and some videos pertaining to different aspects of musical eras, but I can't seem to find any channels dedicated to a specific era of later western music, and it if there is one it's pretty much only about instrumental music. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough? Early Music Sources is a great example of the type of YT channel I'm looking for. Thanks for any help.
This is besides ORR, Champs-Elysees, London Classical Players, the stuff Bernius and Spering did, Hanover Band, etc.
It feels like the only music was Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven. But that doesn't make any logical sense - there had to have been other people writing music. But what would other music have sounded like?
First don’t get me wrong. I enjoy a lot of works from different eras. I even consider a “disturbing” art a potentially added value. I am just stating a feeling I have in common to “more modern” classical music. I don’t have it with baroque music. I seldom have it with Renaissance, classic periods, or early romantic. Starting late Beethoven quartets and piano sonatas, it’s there. It’s me who once asked why doesn’t op 95 join the late quartet group expressively; but I realise now that it doesn’t give this disturbing expression. It’s rebellious, angry, introspective, but not disturbing. Schubert lacks it for me. But this constant unsettling mood, even with dancing rhythms or apparently happy melodies, is there with Schumann, Brahms, Liszt, Chopin, Tchaikovsky’s chamber, a few of Dvorak’s chamber, some Rachmaninov, definitely Mahler, onwards
All the historical documentation - and images - surrounding the time of Haydn - Mozart - Beethoven suggest that when their works were premiered, it was upper or upper middle class people who attended the concerts.
So what was everyone else listening to? What was the popular music amongst the peasants and working class of this period and how would they hear it?
Does anyone recognize this piano duet and can tell me the composer and full title? I heard it on the TV show Victoria, and the closed captions call the piece "Sonata in A minor." Unfortunately, I can't find the piece just by searching that title. I would guess that the piece is from the Classical or Romantic period. The show plays piano music by Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Chopin, so maybe this piece is also by one of those composers.
Here is the link to an audio excerpt of the piece: https://voca.ro/9pMu57aztfb . If anyone is interested in watching the clip, Victoria and Albert play the piano duet at 10:42 in the episode "A Coburg Quartet" (S3E6).
