{{main|Music of Final Fantasy IV}}
The score of ''Final Fantasy IV'' was written by longtime series composer [[Nobuo Uematsu]]. Uematsu has noted that the process of composing was excruciating, involving trial and error and requiring the sound staff to spend several nights in sleeping bags at Square's headquarters. His liner notes were humorously signed as being written at 1:30 AM "in the office, naturally".<ref>{{cite AV media notes | last=Uematsu | first=Nobuo | translator=Rebecca Capowski | title=Final Fantasy IV Original Sound Version | type=Liner Notes | date=April 13, 1991 | url=http://chudahs-corner.com/liners/index.php?catalog=PSCN-5014 | publisher=Square | id=PSCN-5014 | archive-date=February 20, 2009 | url-status=usurped | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220181420/http://chudahs-corner.com/liners/index.php?catalog=PSCN-5014 | access-date=January 5, 2017}}</ref> The score was well received; reviewers have praised the quality of the composition despite the limited medium.<ref name="rpgfanreview"/> The track "Theme of Love" has even been taught to Japanese school children as part of the music curriculum.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hitmitsu |first=Suppai |title=Final Fantasy Becomes Curriculum |url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/03/31/final-fantasy-becomes-curriculum |website=IGN |publisher=[[Ziff Davis]] |date=March 31, 2004 |access-date=January 5, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105222301/http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/03/31/final-fantasy-becomes-curriculum |archive-date=November 5, 2012}}</ref> Uematsu continues to perform certain pieces in his ''Final Fantasy'' concert series.<ref>{{cite web|author=Schneider, Peer |title=Dear Friends: Music from Final Fantasy |website=IGN |date=May 11, 2005 |url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/05/11/dear-friends-music-from-final-fantasy |access-date=January 5, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130120051718/http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/05/11/dear-friends-music-from-final-fantasy |archive-date=January 20, 2013}}</ref>
