Most cliche'd piece of classical music

[Gurn Blanston]

Subject says it all. What one piece gets repeatedly played out of context to the point you could scream. Fur Elise leaps to mind for me. And you?

Beethoven's 5th immediately springs to mind.
I suppose the choral for his 9th as well.

Then there's Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D minor and Mozart's Einekleine Nachtmusik.

And not so much, but maybe the Adagio from Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez as well.

I'm sures there's plenty more.

How about Mendelssohn's incidental music to A Midsummer Nights Dream for orchestra Op 61 ,ninth movement.

[Pastorali]

First movement of the 5th
First movement of Vivaldi's four seasons
Grieg Peer Gynt

I could through all these handys with those senceless ringings in the next trash.

spaceray is this the wedding march you're writing about?

[spaceray]

Yep,and how about...
Bach's suite for orchestra no.3 in D second movement.

...or Brahm's "Wiegenlied" opus 49 no.4

[spaceray]

...or for that matter...Wagner's "Treulich gefuhrt ziehet dahin" from act 3 Of Lohengrin.

[Chaszz]

Pachelbel's Canon. It should be outlawed.

I thought on this piece too. But its' not right to mention it, because it has stopped our screaming at earlier time...

In the beginning of our lifes we all where fans of Brahms' "Wiegenlied" I guess.

Things get played so often I don't care to hear them again sometimes. I don't think I'd change anything though as sometimes it's the only exposure kids will get to classical music is from use in films, TV, and commercials.

Eine Kleine Nactmusik
d minor Tocatta and Fugue
Willam Tell Overture
Carmina Burana
B's 5th and 9th
Ride of Valkuries
Blue Danube

Valkuries is a great one!

Sounds just like Halloween all over again!

I've noticed for years that when there is a fancy party on TV or a movie, the Quartet is ALWAYS playing the first movement of Mozart's "Hunt" Quartet. Also, the Minuet from Boccherini's String Quintet. If someone were to play it right now for you, you would undoubtedly say "Oh yeah. That's Mozart, isn't it?"
