The Main Three - Classical Era

Hello friends let's talk about the main three composers in the classical era. As you all know the impact from classical era has a huge impact on arts, especially music. Today, lets talk about the main composers that you might know the song, but you don't know who was behind all of it. Lets learn together-! 😄

1. Mozart - (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

Ever heard of this? -  ♫ Eine Kleine Nacthmusik

You all must've known or recognized his name before. Yes, it is Mozart. since he was five years old he is already a genius, he can play the violin and keyboard very well and performed in front of the nobles. He also traveled with his father often in Europe and went on three trips to Italy. He had a sister, Maria Anna Mozart who is called Nannerl, she also plays the piano and a composer too. Mozart observed his big sister when he was three and writes his own first composition when he was five. Seeing his two kids are geniuses in music, their father Leopold Mozart feels like a calling to make his kids talents to be known. 😃

From then Mozart's songs and compositions were known to the world, as his tune of melody has this one unique happy style. An emphasis on beauty, elegance, and balance, variety and contrast within a piece, as well as contrasting moods, variety in dynamics, short well-balanced melodies and clear-cut question and answer phrases, mainly simple diatonic harmony. He also can even listen to a song and plays it perfectly without knowing the actual musical notes.  😱

2. Beethoven (Ludwig Van Beethoven)

Looks like everyone knows it - 𝆕 Fur Elise

And ever have you all wondered why does Beethoven's face looks mad in his drawings compared to Mozart's or Haynd's. Scroll up or down to compare it. Mozart and Haydn smiles, while Beethoven doesn't. Here is the story behind it. Long story short his father, Johann Van Beethoven taught music to Beethoven harshly and intensively to outstand Mozart. Because Mozart is more talented compared to Beethoven. And that is why his compositions always feels sad and angry and far from happiness. 😢

And Beethoven began to lose his hearing at age 28. By age 44, his hearing loss was complete, most likely caused by compression of the eighth cranial nerve associated with Paget's disease of bone. But he did not give up on music. Beethoven was able to compose even when he was deaf with the help of his 'inner ears', his recollection of sounds and imagination. He also used ear trumpets to channel sound into his ears, and often physical contact with his piano to 'feel' the sound waves. What an amazing composer. 👀

3. Haydn (Joseph Haydn)

   

Do you ever wonder who made this - 𝅘𝅥𝅯 Cello Concerto in D

Haydn was the second son of humble parents. His father was a wheelwright, his mother, before her marriage, a cook for the lords of the village. Haydn early revealed unusual musical gifts, and a cousin who was a school principal and choirmaster in the nearby city of Hainburg offered to take him into his home and train him. Haydn, not yet six years old, left home, never to return to the parental cottage except for rare brief visits. 😌

Haydn was a religious man, and he is the one who taught Beethoven, and mentored Mozart. What a genius. He made 100 symphonies that's very majestic. He was called father of the symphony and string quartet. He came from humble beginning but ended as a very honorable composer. 😇

Well that's all, I hope from this text you will know more about the song composers you heard. See you-!✋
