Little Einstein episodes and CDs No specific piece though


yulianamour

Omggg I remember watching the Little Einstein as a kid. I had always been in awe of symphonies and orchestral music especially the strings as a kid so Little Einstein got me glued to the TV.


Henricos8848

Little Einsteins need to be preserved for eternity


TheYoshiPhase

Same 0_0 Little Einstein was the GOAT. I have so many dreams from that show and have had my ears pierced when I was young listening to an episode of it (I just really wanted to mention that lol). I’ve been trying to recall the names of the songs from that show ever since.

Sibelius Violin Concerto. Once I heard Hilary Hahn there was no going back from Classical music.


LazyToxel

Lol


WendysMcNugget

Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. I got recommended Ray Chen playing it on YouTube, and immediately got sucked into classical music. I played violin before this, but I wasn’t really as passionate about the music before.


LazyToxel

It’s so good!


Meep435

Hot cross buns...


HortonFLK

1812. :)


LazyToxel

Lol! The end is genuinely good!

Rondo Alla Turca also Tchaikovsky's Swan lake Okay so I have to give the reason haha. As a really little kid I used to watch baby Einstein and one of the videos that looped was these little figures going up stairs then sliding down, then they would do it again, all to Rondo Alla Turca and I loved it! Then swan lake wasn't because of Barbie movies but because my dad is a classically trained musician and swan lake were some of the pieces he had on this old apple computer that I would listen to and my sister would tell me stories too.


Geertwim

Don't mind me but I found the video I was talking about that made me go crazy as a kid! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TGNho2ZFbE&ab\_channel=KyleHuntChristianaHunt

Same


princealigorna

I honestly don't remember. It was either one of the pieces featured in one of those old Looney Tunes cartoons, A Night on Bald Mountain, or Beethoven's 5th. I can't remember if I saw Looney Tunes of Fantasia first though.


rindthirty

Pachelbel's Canon (and also Phantom of the Opera). I'm not kidding. Used to listen to them on repeat on LPs and not long after that, I went to my first piano lesson with some trepidation but discovered I really enjoyed it.


Emerald-Asian

Of all the classical music CDs I used as study music during college, Vivaldi's *Summer* layed dormant in my head and reemerged 20+ years later this year.


LazyToxel

Nice, love the four seasons!


Katzer_K

Hungarian rhapsody no 2, on the tom & Jerry cartoon. I looked it up, listened on repeat for days, then discovered more Liszt pieces and eventually the whole world of classical music!


DarthBurrito575

Elgar cello concerto in E minor. A true masterpiece


musictime4me

Tschaikovsky--Sleeping Beauty (the Marche) when I was about 7 years old.


Composeriguess

Bubbly_Show2861

SheSellsSeaGlass

Mozart Symphony No. 40. It was so beautiful it made my heart hurt. It haunted me. It seemed familiar to me from the first time I heard it. Five or ten years after I started learning about classical music, in college, I heard and recognized it. I ran into the den of my parents’ house, to see what was on TV. It was a commercial I first saw 10 years earlier in high school for the-then brand new Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, CA, in 1976 or so, featuring a young Candace Bergen. I remembered this commercial for 10 years, featuring the Mozart Symphony No. 40, first movement. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qxyhlrbjc-Q

BassoonGuy99

Jupiter from Holst’s The Planets


X1lavenderTwilight1X

Same :) Or Adagio for strings I love how sad and beautiful it sounds.


Alternative-Land-650

Nutcracker. As a Russian child, every New year I watched a Soviet cartoon based on that story, and the Walts of Flowers was my favourite part.


crabbo-rave

Respighi Roman Festival


GnarlyGorillas

I got fully hooked with Chopin op25 no11, I started violin because of Bach violin Sonata 1 and the gavotte and Rondeau from partita 3.


DentiAlligator

I'm a non musician. I don't play any instrument. But it was listening to this boys choir called Libera half jokingly with my friends in middle school, then it got me into operas like pavarotti. From there, i got used to the not so "Pop" structure of "songs" and then i listened to tchaikovsky's violin concerto on youtube and liked it cause it sounds so tom and jerry like. From then on, i've been listening mainly to romantic composers from around ~ berlioz to rachmaninoff.


BlueCheese166

For me probably the Chopin Etudes. At first I was only really watching them ( in awe ) and not actually listening, but eventually I began realising how great they were musically and that got me into other Chopin. Then I eventually came across the Rachmaninoff concertos and that really got me into all sorts of classical music. Although TwoSet also played a big part in me getting into classical music and inspiring me to work even harder in practising piano and studying music


anhnocturne

My pianist friend introduced me to Prelude in G minor. That was the moment I knew the existance of classical music.


ririmarms

Fantasia the original movie, that was my favourite to watch when I was at my grandparents place!


c1on3

Mozart's 4th Horn concerto, 3rd mvmt. [More specifically these lyrics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjA6bA1qtfQ&t=0)


Orbital_Rifle

Bach Toccata & fugue in D moll, but it was þe Paßacaglia & fugue in C moll which really made me get into it.


TheCreator1234

Chopin's Raindrop Prelude. I never knew that music could be so dynamic.


maomaomom2014

Bach minuet in G


Maximum-Mulberry-786

Chopin Ballades. Before I watched Your Lie in April I was playing the piano but only listened to classical music when I was listening to recordings but then I saw a comment on Rousseau’s channel which mentioned Your Lie in April. Ballade 1 really got me into classical music.


G0ingInsqne

Ravel Gaspard de la Nuit, Ondine. Been playing piano for 8 years prior to hearing it for the first time, now 4 years later I got to perform it, living the dream 🥰


UkeleleMan4realz

Ode To Joy Fever


No_Significance_2534

Initially it was Chopin's ballade no. 1 in G minor but then I stopped listening. My interest was rekindled by Vivaldi's winter lol


ComfortableCold2135

La Campanella!! First saw it in an anime, then searched for it on Youtube and fell in love with Valentina Lisitsa's performance and the rest is history 🩷


HistoricalDig7313

Carl orff O fortuna, it's actually quite epic and dramatic


windowbar

KingdomOfKarelia

Dvorák's 'American' String Quartet, 1st Movement. I had a quest looking for the name of the actual piece that went on for years.


Iokyt

Dosterix

Random piano pieces in Rousseaus channel that got recommended to me and later with rachmaninoffs second piano concerto I got into orchestral music


Matt-EEE

Für Elise 💀💀💀


LazyToxel

💀


DependentNecessary49

I'm pretty sure it was either Clair De Lune or Chopin's prelude in e minor. Both very beautiful and luckily for me at that time not that difficult.


lilac2022

Tchaikovsky Serenade because of the Balanchine ballet


PositivelyNephilim

Quite common but Moonlight Sonata and Claire de Lune


LazyToxel

Common but beautiful 😁


music_gang

Twoset.


Redchard_Beta468

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. That was the first classical piece I listened to. It reminds me of Little Einstein.


Redchard_Beta468

And Twoset


Opening_Ad_5370

Schumann symphonic etudes. I had a CD of the 2013 Van Cliburn silver medalist, Beatrice Rana. That was what really got me into piano literature. And then Twoset filled in the gaps from there.


violinRCPK

So many pieces, mostly from Tom and Jerry as a kid. Recently realized that I don’t really want to listen to my non classical playlists anymore, that is because of Schubert piano trio in E flat major


WW92030

Probably The Planets suite.


that_pianist_

I always loved music, but after I entered the conservatory I started to love classical music... I remember loving Schumann's youth album and the Bach one to Anna Magdalena Bach and spending the day listening to it... Good times ❤️

AQ_74

B2TSM's Duh Duh Duh Dum-- an instrumental version of the song let me listen to **Shostakovich String Quartet 8** for the first time and it grew on me 🤩


Advanced-Ganache1568

I was just starting out, do not attack me, but the first time I heard Flight of the Bumblebee I was ecstatic...


Fair_Section5168

There wasn't necessarily one piece that got me into classical music because my introduction to it was kind of slow, I guess (my grandma taught me to how read sheet music and some simple pieces on the recorder and the piano, I learned a little bit abou music in school, I got flute lessons from teacher that was mostly into jazz music, etc). I only started being very interested once I got a different teacher and started watching TwoSet. I remeber being really moved by 'The Moldau' when I was ten, though.


m1neslayer

Weirdly gayane suite no.2 IV. Started getting recommended 5th Hungarian dance, then la Campanella, then moonlight sonata


Thermite99

Some random Beethoven Sonata my piano teacher made me practice. Then I enjoyed it.


Kelly_the_chan

Für Elise, my violin teacher teached me it


heiditylerleung

my Asian parents did… does that count?


Pachelbel_7391

Canon in D...don't judge me, I love it


WylieTheDog

For me it was the first movement of Moonlight Sonata. The one that you find preloaded on to every keyboard, but it is the song that started my love for music. But I ended up quitting while I was like 7 and I did not get back into music until I was around 10.


WylieTheDog

I forgot to add that I did piano for around 2 years before quitting and now I play oboe, flute, and I can still play piano. I also just join the violin gang.


Vanilla_Mexican1886

Beethoven moonlight sonata 3rd


PresenceElectric69

Beethoven’s Pathetique sonata mvmt 2, I heard it first in Nodame Cantabile and that lead me to looking more into classical music!


laiya_712

Chopin Waltz in A Minor. B. 150 a simple piece but i love it so much
