10 Classical Pieces

My Top Ten Classical Music Pieces


It took  a lot of mojo to build this classical music list.  It will inspire your own mojo.  Many sources make lists. I have used them to build my own list for you.  Wikipedia is a source that does a good job of describing how a list is built.  But I don't rely on it for the list itself.  Instead, I have used several other lists to build my own for you.  I used Change your life, Most Famous, Greatest Pieces, Everyone Should Know, Inspirational, Best Of Classical, 100 Greatest Classical Works, and my own music library on Google Music as my sources.  In compiling my list, I emphasized increasing you mojo.  I excluded anything that was too sad or morose.  No funeral marches, no requiems, no dirges.  Ironically,I like sad music myself.  It helps me focus and gets my emotions going which is hard to do because I am naturally calm.  There are a lot of very good and sad pieces that I haven';t included.  There are many, many very good classical pieces, but I have picked these especially for the list.  There is no question that these composers had mojo to spare.  Imagine the mojo that the deaf Beethoven must have had and you will understand what I mean.

Some people say they don't like classical music. I used classical music because it has stood the test of time.  Plus, I like and know it.  and short.  The total time is less than 45 minutes. The longest piece is 5:47, but most are 3 or 4 minutes long,  They are perfect for preparing for a contest or practice.  You can also listen to it anytime you want to increase your mojo.  These pieces are not in any order except that the introductory or opening pieces come before the closing or final-feeling pieces.  A wise man once said, "Never start a performance with a closer."  I have taken this advice to heart in forming this list.  But it us okay to listen to anything that you like.  These pieces will get your juices flowing and increase you mojo.
These pieces are all upbeat

Here 's my list for you:


    1. Brandenburg Concerto n°2 in F major BWV 1047: I. [Ohne Satzbezeichnung]
    2. The Four Seasons; Antonio Vivaldi Spring 3. Danza Pastorale
    3. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik: W.A Mozart
    4. Water Music Suite No. 1: 3. (Allegro) - Andante - (Allegro) da capo Aria 
    5. Handel: Water Music Suite, BWV 348-350 - Suite 2: 1. Overture (Allegro)
    6. Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 - Variatio 26 A 2 Clav.
    7. Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331: III. Alla turca
    8. Cello Sonata in A No. 3, Beethoven Op. 69 - 2. Scherzo: Allegro Molto
    9. Symphony No.3 (The Organ); Camile Saint-Saens 4th movement
    10. Brandenburg Concerto n°3 in G major, BWV 1048: III. Allegro

    Let this list be your introduction to classical music, your workout partner, your mojo builder, your preparation playlist, or anything else.  These are all great performances by sensitive performers that I have personally selected for you.

      Mojo Heroes And Antiheroes There are both heroes and antiheroes among people with high mojo. There is no law that says a person with high mojo has to be a nice person. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. Let’s define anti-hero. Webster says an anti-hero is “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities”. Examples of heroic qualities are strength, ability, achievement, courage, and nobility. The number of anti-heroes compared to heroes is greater in fiction than in real life. It is just more fun to write about or play the more complex characters typified by anti-heroes. It exploits the talents of the actors better. It also seems as if there are more anti-heroes today than in prior years. But all of the people I am about to mention had high mojo, whether hero or anti-hero. In an earlier post , I described the top 10 American people with high mojo. They were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Benjam...

    10 Highest Mojo Colleges Many sources make lists. Wikipedia is a source that does a good job of describing how a list is built. But I don't rely on it. Instead, I used endowment , acceptance rate , the US News rank , and my own judgement as my sources in making my list. sually, lists rank colleges for suitability for an individual or for best overall rank. However, mine ranks the colleges with the highest mojo, not the best academics, sports, campuses, etc. I included US News’ overall rank because a high placement on such a list is one indication (not the only one) of mojo. Another one that I use is endowment. If alumni have money ad want to give it to their alma mater, that indicates that the alma mater has mojo. Another indicator that I use is acceptance rate. If a lot more people apply to a college than are accepted, that is a further indication of mojo. Also note that the military academies are in a different group for purposes of evaluation, but I include a co...

    How Mojo Works

    Figure 1. The components of mojo. What makes up mojo? Merriam Webster says: Mojo is :” a magic spell, hex, or charm, broadly : magical power // works his mojo on the tennis court //The team has lost its mojo.“ I’m not sure about the magic part of it, but mojo is something that a person or group has to varying degrees. You know it when you see it, even if you can’t define it. Another example of such a thing was cited by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart who famously said in his 1964 Order , he could not use words to describe pornography but " I know it when I see it ." When something is not well understood, it is indistinguishable from magic . Maybe this is why people are often said to have their “mojo workin’” even if magic is irrelevant. Parts of Mojo motivation expertise experience support luck faith willingness to act. This blog will focus on motivation because it is such a big part of mojo and is often a poorly under...
