- Mozart – Eine kleine Nachtmusik. The official name of this piece is the Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major, and it was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1787.
- Beethoven – Für Elise. This piece was never published during Beethoven’s lifetime and it wasn't even discovered until forty years after his death. As a result, no one’s quite sure who the Elise of the title was… and some musicologists even think the title might have been copied incorrectly and it was originally called ‘Für Therese’.
- Puccini – 'O mio babbino caro' from Gianni Schicchi. There might be uncontacted tribes in the Amazon who haven't heard this piece, but there can't be many other people in the world who wouldn't recognise this famous aria by Puccini.
- J.S. Bach – Toccata and Fugue in D minor. This piece by Bach might not have the catchiest title, but we guarantee you'll know the famous opening. It has become associated with scary moments in horror films, perhaps because it famously made an appearance in the opening credits of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931).
