Johann Sebastian Bach
Known as the “Bach of the Baroque era,” Johann Sebastian Bach is a highly influential composer in all genres of music. A number of his compositions are considered masterpieces at the keyboard. The Prelude in C Major from Book One of The Well Tempered Clavier is an impressive yet accessible piece that has been popular for decades. It can be played on any instrument, but it will sound best when played by a piano. It starts out with a slow, delicate introduction and then builds up to a lively climax before drawing back down again to the beginning. This composition will put you in a state of serenity without fail.
Franz Schubert
Schubert is known for his Impressionistic piano compositions and his prolific output of symphonic, chamber, and vocal music. A big part of the appeal in Schubert’s work is how he tries to capture the human emotions that often accompany sadness and melancholy. To some people, this type of music can be soothing due to its ability to evoke intense feeling. If you want to get a taste of Schubert’s work, this playlist by Thom Yorke is a great starting point. The album features several tracks from Brahms’ First Symphony, including one that might make you cry.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” is one of the most recognized piano compositions in the world and serves as a symbol for peace and serenity. The piece was originally composed as a birthday gift to his wife, Constanze, who died less than two years later. Mozart composed this piece with no specific key or tempo–it can be performed at any pace. Mozart employed these revolutionary techniques because he believed that it would provide for an infinite number of variations. This composition has been played at countless concerts, recitals, and social gatherings throughout history.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven is a composer whose work has been credited with influencing the course of classical music. He wrote many well-known pieces, including Moonlight Sonata, Symphony No 5, and Fur Elise. The idea of this piece is simplicity as it only features piano, bassoon, and violin. The entire piece can be listened to on YouTube for free or purchased by visiting ClassicalPianoMusic.com Waltz in A-flat major op. 69 no. 2: This piece is one of the most popular compositions from Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and was written when he was just 18 years old. This waltz starts with a typical Waltz rhythm but after about five minutes it progresses into a more improvisational section with syncopated notes that vary in intensity throughout the piece. The melody that is played during this section is simple but still maintains a sense of complexity through its rhythms and harmonies. Bach: The Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 965: Written by Johann Sebastian Bach, this piece might be the most famous piano composition ever composed. It was originally published in 1735 along with three other organ preludes which are also included on this list! It’s said to have taken Bach four days to compose this work and features his incredibly rich keyboard style that contributed greatly to making him such a celebrated composer today. This song consists of an introduction followed by an exuberant fugue
Johannes Brahms
– “Hungarian Dance No. 5” – “Mendelssohn: Piano Concerto No. 4 in D minor” – “Schubert: Fantasie Impromptu, D. 934” – “Beethoven: Sonata No. 27 in A major for Piano and Violin, Op. 90”
Conclusion
There are many artists who have given us the gift of music. That gift can be felt in the form of peace, love or inspiration. There are also many who have given us this gift through their music. One of those artists is a man who was born in Germany and is known as the “father of modern music.” His name is Beethoven. Beethoven composed many pieces of classical music, but one of his most famous pieces is Sonata No. 26 in D minor, Op. 81a. There are some other pieces of classical music that are also on this list, like Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor, and even Schubert’s Ave Maria.
