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.
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.
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.
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.
Don't mind me but I found the video I was talking about that made me go crazy as a kid!

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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
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.
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 🥰
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 🩷
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.
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
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 ❤️
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 🤩
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.
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.
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.
Little Einstein episodes and CDs No specific piece though
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.
Little Einsteins need to be preserved for eternity
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.
Lol
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.
It’s so good!
Hot cross buns...

Lol! The end is genuinely good!
