From the article: Top 10 Classical Works You Know, but You Don't Know
There are thousands upon thousands of classical works in existence, and it's nearly impossible to remember their names. Even I can't name them all! Here's a great place to post the names of those famous classical songs you know. It's almost a guarantee that someone else is frantically trying to identify that piece! Name that Classical Music
Toccata and Fugue
- Toccata and Fugue should've been on the list. It appeared in countless pieces like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Supernatural, Castle, Bleach, etc

Circus music
- The music that you usually hear in circuses is called The Entrance of the Gladiators. It's quite famous, but it's rather sad that many people don't know the name of it.

Edvard Grieg
- What about the most commonly used song in movies, Morning Mood? I wonder why it's not on this list.
- —Guest Bach
What about these?
- What about the beautiful first movement of the Beethoven 'Moonlight' Sonara, and how can we possibly omit the beloved and immortal Canon in D by Pachelbel? It guest got attention in the movie 'Ordinary People' and descended from there to a Sylvania light bulb commercial. It is the quintessential piece being played in every wedding scene in movies and on TV and in real life!
