    Shostakovich stays true to the stereotype. Out of all the composer kids' pieces out there, his is already the most depressed. Nothing more in character for him than starting his career with a funeral march. The first of a long line of pieces inspired by horrible historical events.

      There's this thing called Human Design... totally bona fide etc. Have been studying it for years... which ascribes to each of us an 'Inner Authority' i.e. The place from where we make decisions and it's NOT with our minds. NOT! Never! The Splenic Authority is instant; a little voice that kicks in with the RIGHT answer every time but those with this authority often end up going through all the mental machinations that takes them away from the answer or, in this instance, are swayed away or distracted... in this case by Eddy... For HD one needs a time, date and place of birth. No. it's not astrology. It's far, far, far deeper than that though it does play a role... There are many other 'authorities' btw...

    Fun fact about the Diabelli variations: The blurb at 7:09 says Diabelli invited a number of composers (including Schubert and Czerny) to "contribute one variation each", but Diabelli actually had to publish Beethoven's contribution separately as Beethoven wrote 33 variations by himself. Beethoven's Diabelli Variations are considered to rival Bach's Goldberg Variations as the greatest set of variations for piano ever composed.

    7:08 some extra trivia:
    Beethoven was in fact one of the composers also called to write a variation for the waltz. Because Beethoven was Beethoven, he decided to write 33 variations, together spanning an hour-long work which is often considered to be one of the greatest variations sets ever written. Diabelli published it as the first part of his Vaterländischer Künstlerverein - the second part was the remaining 50 variations by 50 other composers, including Liszt and Czerny, but also Schubert (one of the multiple choice options).
    Also, Liszt was a massive Beethoven fanboy when younger, which is why his variation and a lot of his early pieces sound like middle/late Beethoven.

    I'm from Tchaikovsky gang, didn't actually know the piece regarded as his first composition, but thought of him immediately because of the diminished chord that appears in one second and vanishes, and after three bars within the waltz you can know you're hearing a piece with the "melodic supremacy", actually a very Tchaikovskyan thing. The more "whistlable" a piece, more likely to be Tchaikovsky

      Somehow I always end up with Tchaikovsky and you just explained perfectly why that is. His music is like valium to my ears, if that makes sense. I just finished mowing my lawn and whistled or hummed Swan Lake the whole way through.
      Either I think of Tchaikovsky when I'm in a good mood, or Tchaikovsky puts me in a good mood, I'm not sure. But I do know that his music and me being happy are inextricably linked. And now I have a name for it, whistlable...

    The pieces by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms, I knew 100% because I have the sheet music in collected books. Since most of the pieces played were geared towards the piano, I'm not surprised Brett and Eddy had trouble guessing the composer. Too bad there was no Paganini or Vivaldi examples.

    Hey guys, I just saw the ABC doc about your backstory. I'm not a musician, but a lifelong classical fan. Near my home is a major music conservatory. Some of my friends are students and grads there. I see what they endure. Your insight is spot on. I love what you've done, mixing a high-end music career with an online creator gig, doing it on your own terms. It's not only brilliant, but entertaining as hell. I'm in Rochester, NY, USA, home to Eastman School of Music. It's such a privilege to attend free concerts by the best music students in the world, even call some of them my friends. It's great what you and a few others, like Jacob Collier, have done with new media - to override the old rules. I wish you were coming here on your tour. Even nearby, like Buffalo or Toronto. As a former filmmaker, I appreciate the quality of your visual work too. BTW, I enjoyed this game even though I suck at it (only 2-3 right). Keep doing the right thing. You rock!

Even more so, he happens to be one of my favorite composers, so it's extra special to know his first compositions. The nostalgia hit me so hard.

    I played along this time! Here are my guesses though I didn't do as well as I expected.
    1 Mozart -Early Classical vibes
    2 Bach -It's a fugue
    3 Prokofiev -I hear parts very reminiscent of "Love of Three Oranges"
    4 Beethoven -Fortepiano sound and showing off piano skills
    5 Debussy -In French and I know his music started out more traditional than what it turned into.
    6 Liszt - Chopin wasn't on the Liszt
    7 X Shostakovich -Also known for more traditional sounding early works
    8 X Shostakovich -Only one on the list who was known for chamber works. Clip was not long enough for me to hear any "Mahlerisms"
    9 X Saint-Saens -Reminds me of Danse Macabre
    10 X Rachmaninoff -Has the drama of later works with less finesse
    11 X Schumann -Just guessing here
    12 X Schubert -cuz no clue
    13 Chopin -Melody over pulsating chords is a Chopin mainstay
    14 X Schubert -Despite the English lyrics it is reminiscent of a Schubert song. (could be translated lyrics to throw them off)
    15 X honestly had no guess

I’ve been playing the erhu (often known as the chinese violin) since I was 11, and it would be very awesome to see chinese traditional music get the recognition it deserves.
