Joseph Haydn

performed twelve exquisite classical pieces by Brahms, Mozart and Haydn. They were positioned at the front and center of the stage, with the clarinet placed relatively in the middle of the group, allowing the audience to have clear and concise hearing of the instruments. Upon entering the concert hall, there was a hint of formality and anticipation for the music that is to be performed prior to the commencement

Theater an der Wien on the 22nd of December 1808. The Symphony No.6 Opus 68 in F major as a whole is revolutionary in more ways than one. Firstly, this monumental work contains 5 movements as opposed to the traditional 3 which were frequently used by Haydn and Mozart for example. Secondly, all the movements are titled by Beethoven himself which per se could be seen as programmatic, a distinct feature of Romantic music rather than classical ; hence emphasizing Beethoven’s break away from traditional classical

and Zurich. Mozart spent his youth constantly on tour. These tour were financed through donors and patrons. Through the years, and while abroad, Mozart met many accomplished musicians such as Johann Christian Bach, George Frideric Handel, and Joseph Haydn.

Pratt Carrol stated that “Music is the language of emotion, and emotions tend to be the same the world over, in spite of differences in social customs and language.” In other words, music is a fabulous expression of the human being no matter the culture or norms because it manages to immediately transmit different feelings and emotions that other forms of art may not transmit. For my Introduction to music class I decided, to write about the Seventh Symphony in A major (Op. 92) by Ludwig van Beethoven

role music played in his continued to grow, and soon after dropping out of school to pursue music “full time” he published his first composition. Soon after the death of the Holy Roman Emperor of Austria, Joseph II, Beethoven began to study under prominent musicians and composers such as Joseph Haydn, Antonio Salieri, and Johann Albrechtsberger. It was during his time under the tutelage of these musicians and composers where he began to win the patronage of many Viennese Aristocrats. In 1800 Beethoven

quite often and took after his father in that sense and embraced his role of a pianist. Other composers in the Classical Period consist of Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Van Beethoven. (Mello, 2017). Hayden, Mozart and Beethoven are perhaps the greatest composers of all time. When people think of them, they think of their great works, or incidental stories, but they all had a serious effect of the growth and development of the piano. This is often over looked and underappreciated

Beethoven was known for his masterful composition of classical music, but his life was not as one would expect of such a brilliant composer. When 50 personnel were asked what they knew about Beethoven each person responded that he a composer that was deaf. What was not generally known was that Beethoven had a troubled childhood and led a chronically stressful and harsh adulthood. These two things are often not associated with Beethoven. What did Beethoven compose that made him a musical genius of

Beethoven was laborious towards his work, always leaving behind drafts that provided an insight into his creative methods. “Unlike Mozart, Beethoven retained his popularity with both the general public and the aristocracy of Vienna. Unlike Haydn, he never had to endure the rigors of the eighteenth-century system of musical patronage.” (p.151). He changed the musical world forever. Before Beethoven, composers primarily wrote music for the church. Beethoven wanted to be discrete and different

studied piano, violin, and French horn, and before he was 12 years old he became a court organist. Christian Gottlob Neefe was one of his earliest teachers. In 1787 he briefly studied with Mozart and years later left to go to Vienna to study with Joseph Haydn. Beethoven's first public appearance in Vienna was on March 29, 1795, as a soloist in one of his piano concerti. He had developed a great reputation for his music before he left Bonn, Germany and once he reached Vienna his music grew wide

The early piano sonatas of Beethoven deserve special mention. Although his first published examples of concertos and trios and the first two symphonies are beneath the masterpieces of Mozart and Haydn, the piano sonatas bear an unmistakably Beethovian stamp: grandiose in scope and length, and innovative in their range of expression. The sonatas were able to move expression from terrible rage to peals of laughter to deep depression so suddenly. Capturing
