A list of puns related to "The 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music"
They arenβt the exact same, but the two pieces of music definitely share a resemblance and given the fact that Noraβs last name is Valkyrie, I refuse to believe this isnβt intentional.
Recently I heard a classical piece which reminded me of Colonel Hathi's March in Jungle Book. It has the same high pitched, upbeat marching rhythym and a very prominent flute of some sorts IIRC. I believe (not sure) it was a German piece, but dont pin me on that. At the time I forgot to save it, but man, it was good. It was a piece that I immediately recognised (and I think most of you will do too) as it was one of those compositions of which most people would say: 'Hey! I know that one!'
It starts off quietly and slowly with bass on 1st and 3rd beat and I believe in is violin on 2nd and 4th beat. All the notes are staccato. It is like that for the first 2 bars then the violin starts to play for every beats. I donβt know how to describe any further ...
It's got the style of the song pomp and circumstance. It's very drawn out, and happy, with the pronounced sound of drums in the background.
Sara Bareilles - Bluebird (2010) has chords at the beginning that sound similar (and may even allude to) a piece of classical music. Anyone know what this classical piece is (and who composes it)? Hereβs a link; just the beginning chords.
For me it would be Mozart - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
Hi everyone! As stated, a piece of music appeared in my head a while ago and I can't for the life of me figure out if it's from somewhere or if I made it up. Bits of music or dialogue appear in my head very often (I work in a creative field) so that's not unusual in and of itself. It sounds classical to me, quite pretty. I'd like to continue playing around with it but I don't want to steal someone else's work, even if unintentionally.
Apologies for the sound quality, I don't have access to a piano at the moment. You might want to turn down your headphones a little as the audio peaks. Any help would be appreciated!
I was born and raised in Southeast Asia, and classical music is not really a "thing" here. Actually, music in general. It's not something you learn at school, or in extracurricular activities. The same as we don't learn about western literatures like Shakespeare here, you'll also never hear about Beethoven, Mozart or Bach at school.
Music is something expensive here. In my city alone, there's probaby less than 100 people know how to play piano. My cousin plays piano but have zero idea about classical music or composers, otherwise I would've heard a thing or two from him. Only wealthy family send their kids to piano / violin lessons, the only place here where you can probably come across classical music lesson. It's very expensive.
Back then, of course I heard about Beethoven and Mozart too through movies and internet. I tried to listen to a few Mozart's works, but they didn't really catch my attention. So I stopped. But probably around 3 years ago, I came acrooss a video of Valentina Lisitsa playing Moonlight Sonata, the 3rd Movement. It was my first love β₯οΈβ₯οΈ !!! For the first time in my life I felt like I can understand the beauty of classical music, it just felt right. Recently my German friend told me Moonlight Sonata is the most overrated piece of work.. No ! It's not.. It sounds so phenomenal ! I would listen to it everyday at school and night. I was so amazed. Then I learned that Beethoven was already partially deaf when composing it, dear lord... next I started to search & learn anything about Beethoven. He really was something else, next level ! Moonlight Sonata had converted me into a "believer" of classical music.
Then I came across my second love.. FrΓ©dΓ©ric Chopin. Nocturnes is still the most played music in my phone now, even more than Beethoven. But no matter what, my first love was still Moonlight Sonata.
What about your first love ? Tell me your first love and make me fall in love again ! I still haven't fully grasped the world of classical music and I'm so eager to fall in love again.
Composers that I know didn't write the piece:
I feel like the composer has a European name. If I recall correctly, he was active any time from the 1940's to the 2000's
The piece isn't overly complex but it is really quite beautiful and relaxing. It evokes a feeling of peace and musing.
