Everyone likes to try their luck with lists. It's an easy concise way to say something. Thought I'd try my luck with one. Here what I believe to be Mozart top five most recognizable melodies. There the ones that when I started getting in to Mozart, I said, 'Yeah. I've heard that.'
5. Symphony No. 40, Molto Allegro
I've heard this as a number of default cell rings. I've also remember it on some old school CPU games.
4. Piano Sonata in C, Allegro
Get any number of children's toys highlighting classical music and your likely to hear this ditty.
3. Piano Sonata in A, Rondo alla Turca
Another child's toy fav. And, I hear a lot in commercials. The mystery show 'Who dunnit' had it as their theme song, and there's that 'feed the big' commercial that has a scene playing the song.
2. Marriage of Figaro overture
The music is used quite often to express jubilation. A Doritos a subway commercial come to mind as recent uses. It is slathered all over the place.
1. Eine Kliene Nachtmusick, Allegro
Like Beethoven's Symphony no. 5 is to Beethoven, this work is quintessential Mozart. Many not only know it, but link it with Mozart. In addition, it is a classical music icon. If someone wants to play a background piece the declares sophisticated classical, they'd likely pick this piece. (Along with Vivaldi's Four Seasons).
