Music - 14 Classical Songs That You Have Never Heard Before

If I asked you to think of things related to classical music, what would they be? Probably Mozart, Beethoven, Symphony No. 40, Symphony No.5, Fur Elise, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and the Four Seasons. Even if you don't recognize the names of these pieces, you will still probably recognize them if you hear them.

Typically, when a person with no classical music experience hears the word classical music, they think of a handful of songs, which even though they might not know the name of, include Ode to Joy, The Blue Danube, the Nutcracker, Brahm's Lullaby, and the ones listed above.

However, there are more great classical songs besides these, as well as famous composers (in the classical, romantic, and baroque music world), including Johann Sebastian Bach, Frederic Chopin, Edvard Grieg, and Camille Saint-Saëns.

Here is list of wonderful classical (as well as romantic and baroque) music that you may never have heard before. It is not a complete list of every single good classical piece, but contains some of my favorites (in no particular order):

1.) Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by J. S. Bach

2.) Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major (Prelude) by J. S. Bach

3.) In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg

4.) Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity from The Planets by Gustave Holst

5.) Finale from Symphony No. 9 (Allegro con fuoco) by Antonín Dvorak

6.) Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 by J. S. Bach

7.) Pachelbel's Canon (Canon in D) by Johann Pachelbel

8.) Les Toréadors from Carmen Suite No. 1 by Georges Bizet

9.) Badinerie from French Suite No.2 by J. S. Bach

10.) Marche Slave by Pyotr Tchaikovsky
