Music Trivia Question 1

What piece is shown here in this excerpt?
a. Claude Debussy’s Claire de Lune
b. George Winston’s Stars
c. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony

d. George Frederic Handel’s Messiah

The answer is C, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony! This symphony is one of the most popular and well-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most often played symphonies. Thanks to one of our trivia players, we can tell you that this excerpt is in the wrong key; it should be in C minor, not A minor. Even we learn something new everyday!

Stay curious,
