Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
One of the most popular pieces of classical music, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music) was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1787. The piece is actually a serenade, which was a type of light entertainment music that was popular in the 18th century. It was written for a small ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello, with occasional double bass.
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is in the key of G major and is in four movements. The first movement is in sonata form, which means it has two main themes. The first theme is played by the violins and the second theme is played by the viola. The second movement is a minuet, which is a dance that was popular in Mozart’s time. The third movement is a romance, which is a slow, romantic piece of music. The fourth and final movement is a lively rondo.

Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring
One of the most popular pieces of classical music, Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring was written by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. The original title of the piece was “Jesu, meine Freude,” which means “Jesus, my joy.” It is a chorale prelude, meaning that it is based on a hymn, and it is one of the pieces included in Bach’s work called “The Well-Tempered Clavier.”
The piece is in the key of C Major and is in 3/4 time. It begins with an introduction played by the right hand, followed by the main melody played by the left hand. The right hand then joins in with a countermelody. The piece builds to a climax and then ends with a short coda.
This piece is often used in weddings, as it is both beautiful and uplifting. It has also been used in commercials and movies, such as “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.”
Air on the G String
The “Air on the G String” is one of the most popular classical pieces ever written. It comes from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Suite No. 3 in D Major, BWV 1068. The suite was written around 1730, but the “Air” was not added until much later. Some people believe that Bach added it specifically for his wife, Anna Magdalena.
The “Air on the G String” is played on a solo violin with accompaniment from an orchestra. The piece is beautiful and relaxing, making it a perfect choice for lullabies and kids’ sleep music. It has also been used in many popular films and TV shows, including Schindler’s List, The Simpsons, and The Omen.
Prelude in C Major
One of Bach’s most famous works, the “Prelude in C Major” was originally composed for keyboard. It is a simple, elegant piece that has been adapted for many different instruments.
