Classical music heard in commercials

I think that reading this article will give you the opportunity to listen to music, regardless of the genre.
Even if you don't consciously listen to it, you will naturally hear this music on TV, radio, movies, and even in trains on station platforms.
I like to listen to classical music. When I say that in self-introduction, most people think "healing" (although healing is not the only effect of classical music ...).
And sometimes people ask me, "Do you know what song they used in the “something-or-other” commercial?"
In fact, many of the songs used in commercials are well known in classical music.

For those who wondered what classical piece is playing in what commercial!
I have collected the classical pieces used in commercials!
Let's listen to them.

Chopin Prelude Op. 28 No. 7 in A major

I think many people have heard this piece.
This song is a familiar song from the "Ohta's Isan" commercial. Some people think it's a song written for a commercial because it matches the mood of the commercial, but it's not.
This is Chopin's "Prelude" No. 7. Chopin himself was good at playing the piano and he left many excellent piano works.

Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet Dance of the Knights

Next is "Dance of the Knights" from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet ballet. This song is used in the "Softbank" commercial.
Prokofiev may not be familiar to those who do not listen to classical music, but it has been widely used in opera, symphonies, and film music.

Mariinsky - The Nutcracker - Dance of the Mirlitons - Ovation

This is also a ballet piece. Perhaps Softbank has someone on their staff who likes ballet.
It is "Dance of the Mirlitons" from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker.
Many of Tchaikovsky's ballet songs are famous, and you may have heard "Scene" from Swan Lake and the "Waltz" of the sleeping beauty.

Vivaldi The four seasons - Winter - Julia Fischer

Many people think of "Spring" when they think of Vivaldi's concerto "Four Seasons", but this is also from Vivaldi's four seasons. However, the piece posted is not "Spring" but "Winter".
When listening to all the movements of "Four Seasons" in spring, summer, autumn and winter, "summer" is not refreshing, but a hot, damp and melancholy landscape comes to mind.
This piece was used in the Daihatsu Move commercial.

There is a lot of classical music used in commercials other than the ones mentioned here. When they are featured in commercials, they have a surprisingly large impact and are catchy songs that naturally come to mind.
I hope you will be more interested in classical music from familiar places such as commercials.
The live sound you hear in a hall is exceptional, so be sure to attend a classical music concert.
