In the Cook Do commercial “Mapo Eggplant,” featuring Tomomitsu Yamaguchi, Hana Sugisaki, and Noriko Nanaki as a family, the music used is Mozart’s “Six Viennese Sonatinas, K.
439b: No.
1 in C Major, IV.
Allegro.” Many people may recognize it as the piece that played during cooking scenes on the popular variety show “Sudden! Golden Legend.” Its lively piano melody is delightful, and listening to it can make cooking feel more fun.

Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, First Movement, K. 448 (K6. 375a)Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
It’s very famous, so many of you may have heard it often, but for those unconnected to the piano it might be uncommon.
The melody sounds as if two pianos are chirping to each other, and it’s very beautiful.
It’s absolutely wonderful.
The Marriage of Figaro OvertureWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This is an operatic work.
The orchestra features the classic woodwinds, horns, and trumpets.
It’s a structure I really love.
I think the music is grand, delicate, and brilliant, matching the opera’s story.
I’d love to see it live someday.
RequiemWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
It’s a very heartrending piece.
It makes me a little sad, but it resonates deeply in the heart.
I think many people have heard this piece often on TV and elsewhere, but I’d love for even more people to get to know Mozart’s works.
It becomes easier to follow from the middle.
Violin Concerto No. 3, K. 216Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This is the third violin concerto composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
I’ve heard it is also called the Strasbourg Concerto.
It’s one of my favorite concertos, with music that feels very lively, accessible, and never boring.
He was incredible from his early years, wasn’t he?
