What year was the song Toccata and Fugue in D minor made?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bach actually wrote two toccata-and-fugue pairs in D minor, both in 1708. The most famous one (appeared in the original Fantasia movie, and often used as a stock piece of generic "scary music") is BWV 565. The other, sometimes called the "Dorian" toccata and fugue, is BWV 538. Check the number if you're looking to buy a recording!

Frederic Chopin's famous music?

Asked by Wiki User

Nocturne in E flat major, op. 9 no. 2 .......

no...i don't think so...I play piano myself and i am up to 7th grade. I currently play the Nocturne in E flat major, op. 9 no. 2 and it is NOT his most famous plece. It is very famous but the most famous one is

Ø Fantaisie- Impromptu in C sharp minor, Opus posthumous 66

The Nocturne No.2 is more famous to the ordinary person.

But the Fantasie-Impromptu is more famous to the piano player

What about his Funeral March?? Is that not pretty well known??

How about the Waltz in D-flat... sometimes called the minute waltz because it can be played in one minute! :D

Most famous doesn't necessarily mean best, although his work is consistently brilliant. I think his most famous piece is the A flat Polonaise.

Why is beethoven's 9th symphony so special?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It was Beethoven's last symphony; his abilities as a composer were fully-developed.

It was the first symphony by any composer to use voices.

In spite of the fact that it is in a minor key, it builds to a joyful finale.

It has quite a few memorable melodies--in modern terms, it's got some great hooks.

Who was the first classical composer made famous?

Asked by Wiki User

Questions like this one are impossible to answer. It is both vague and simplistic. How do you decide when a composer becomes 'famous'? (Famous where? How? To whom?) What exactly do you mean by a 'classical' composer? If you can explain exactly what it is you want to know, and for what purpose, you might get a useful answer.
