What is the most popular of classical music?
Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven is one that nearly EVERYONE knows Symphony No. 9 by Beethoven, otherwise known as Ode to Joy is also very popular even if many do not realize it …is a classical piece. Mozart's A Little Night Music is one that if heard, most will identify. Canon in D by Pachelbel is also very well known, especially in marriage ceremonies. Carmen by Bizet is famous for one of its very identifiable arias, and it's Prelude. Messiah by Handel, specifically the Hallelujah chorus is known to all Claire de Lune by Debussy Fur Elise (for Elise) by Beethoven Turkish March by Mozart Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven It is impossible to name them all. Classical music is more subconsciously popular in people's minds than they'd originally think. This is simply a few of the wide spanning list of classical music which have stayed strong with time. More examples: Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 by Chopin Romeo and Juliet by Tchaikovsky (in some ads and partly in the Titanic) The Can Can from Orpheus in the Underworld by Offenbach The finale (I think) of William Tell Overture by Rossini And a bunch of music in movies that you never expected to be classical.
