The most recognizable opening in the history of classical music — and we're not even sure who composed it. 🎹⚡
Three notes descend like lightning. A single chord growls from the depths of the organ. And the world is no longer the same.
🎬 Work: Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 — a Baroque organ piece, first published in 1833 by Felix Mendelssohn
🎹 Instrument: Pipe organ — the toccata showcases rudimentary technique, the fugue builds on a single theme that is repeated and layered across the sections
🎶 Structure: Two parts — a free, improvised toccata followed by a complex fugue, ending with a dramatic coda.
This work has long been attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, but its authorship has been in doubt since 1981. No manuscript written by Bach himself has ever been found – the only surviving near-contemporary source is an undated copy by a pupil named Johannes Ringk. Scholars have debated the work's origins ever since, and a consensus remains elusive. What we do know for sure is that its popularity skyrocketed when it appeared in Walt Disney's 1940 animated film Fantasia, which used Leopold Stokowski's 1927 orchestral arrangement – the same Stokowski that Bugs Bunny once parodied. The most famous organ piece in history may well be one of music's greatest unsolved mysteries.
“Over the Rainbow” is from Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s 1993 album Facing Future. Although it achieved little mainstream success upon its initial release, the medley later became a global phenomenon, transforming into one of the most beloved acoustic recordings of all time. Decades after Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole's death, it reached #1 in the UK and France, earned multi-Platinum certifications around the world and became one of the most streamed Hawaiian recordings in history.
The song was recorded in a single late-night take after Kamakawiwoʻole unexpectedly called a Honolulu recording studio asking if he could come in. Studio engineer Milan Bertosa opened the studio in the early hours of the morning, where Israel recorded the entire performance in one unforgettable session. A passionate advocate for Hawaiian sovereignty, IZ achieved worldwide superstardom posthumously. When he died in 1997, he became only the third person in history to lie in state at the Hawaii State Capitol, and thousands of mourners later gathered as his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean.
