Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Popular Song Rankings [2026]

Flute Quartet No. 1 in D major, K. 285Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart57rank/position

Mozart Flute Quartet in D major k.285

Mozart was a court musician for the Archbishop of Salzburg in Austria, but he resigned.

While job hunting in Mannheim, Germany, he met the court orchestra’s flutist, Johann Baptist Wendling, and composed flute quartets for an amateur flutist, the Dutch surgeon Dejean.

The flute’s beautiful melodies bring brightness to the music in major keys, and are filled with poignancy in minor keys.

Horn Concerto No. 1 in D major, K. 412/514Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart58rank/position

W.A.Mozart Horn Concerto Nr.3 KV.447 I.Allegro Radek Baborák

A master of Classical music who displayed extraordinary talent from childhood and composed over 800 works across a wide range of genres, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

His Horn Concerto No.

1 in D major, K.412/514—written for his close friend and exceptional horn player Joseph Leutgeb—captivates with its technical difficulty and Mozart’s characteristically refined melodies.

In particular, the encouragements and jokes written in the score for the performer reveal the intimacy of their relationship.

It’s a highly recommended piece not only as an introduction to classical music but also for anyone who wants to savor a masterpiece.

Motet ‘Ave verum corpus’ K. 618Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart59rank/position

Mozart: Ave Verum Corpus — Pianist Yuki Kondo

Mozart’s Ave verum corpus is captivating for its relaxed, unhurried character.

This time, I’d like to introduce the motet Ave verum corpus, K.

618 from among its versions.

While Ave verum corpus is often considered an intermediate-level piece, in the case of K.

618 it would be fair to call it beginner-friendly.

If you pay careful attention to pedaling and rhythm, even a novice can make it sound good.

There are no particularly difficult passages, so if you’ve completed basic training, I encourage you to give it a try.

Motet “Rejoice, be glad, O blessed souls,” HallelujahWolfgang Amadeus Mozart60rank/position

Julia Lezhneva, Il Giardino Armonico, Giovanni Antonini – Alleluia

The third movement “Alleluia” from the motet Exsultate, jubilate (“Rejoice, be glad, O blessed soul”), composed by Mozart in 1773, is a celebrated vocal piece whose bright, pure character evokes angels dancing and playing in the clear blue sky.

Although originally written for a castrato, it is now performed as an important repertoire piece by female lyric sopranos capable of producing high tessitura.

[Mozart's Lullaby] Music Box – Baby Sleep [Sleep BGM, No Mid-roll Ads] Fleece's Lullaby

Alongside works by Brahms and Schubert, Mozart’s “Lullaby” is counted among the world’s three greatest lullabies.

It’s a classic masterpiece that most people would recognize as soon as they hear a snippet of the melody and think, “I’ve heard this somewhere.” Although it was long believed to have been composed by Mozart, research has revealed that the piece is actually a lullaby composed by the Austrian composer Bernhard Flies.

Requiem in D minor, K. 626Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart62rank/position

Mozart : Requiem

An unfinished masterpiece that Mozart worked on shortly before his death at age 35.

As a Mass for the dead, the work is steeped in a solemn atmosphere, expressing prayers to God and a wish for the repose of the souls of the departed.

It begins with the Introit and comprises a variety of movements, including the Dies Irae, which depicts the Day of Wrath, and the Lacrimosa, which sings of a Day of Tears.

The Dies Irae is especially famous and is frequently used in television and films; in this video, it begins at 8:13.

The Lacrimosa, whose first eight bars were written by Mozart himself, is particularly moving in its beauty; in this video, it starts at 22:49.

With its profound musicality and religious significance, this work feels as though it contains the essence of Mozart’s life.
