I found over 15 lists of “best classical music” and combined them into one list.   Here are the results: every piece of music that was on three or more of those lists, organized chronologically. In the majority of cases, the date used is the date that the composer completed the original version of the work.  (Revisions are noted, when appropriate.) In the case of a body of work, I provide the range of dates but use the date of the earliest work for the chronology. Where there is a question about the date, I give the notation “c.” but organize by the earliest estimate. I have also included the number of original source lists that the work is on.

Please note that these are not my personal opinions and I have not listened to all this music!

To see the same list organized by rank, that is, with the pieces that were on the most lists at the top, go here.  To see the same list organized by composer, go here.  To see a list of the best classical composers, with a selection of their best works, go here.
