composers which of Beethoven‚ Mozart and Bach. I think I may write a letter to Beethoven’s agent because out of all three composers‚ he happens to be someone my uncle enjoys and listens to the most. Ludwig van Beethoven is an extraordinary composer. One thing that is very interesting is that at a very young age he composed his first original symphony. He was a child prodigy and I think that may be a reason I enjoy his music so much. Another extraordinary think about Beethoven is that his hearing

Research NOTES Mozart’s music‚ like Haydn’s‚ stands as an archetype of the Classical style. At the time he began composing‚ European music was dominated by the style galant‚ a reaction against the highly evolved intricacy of the Baroque. Progressively‚ and in large part at the hands of Mozart himself‚ the contrapuntal complexities of the late Baroque emerged once more‚ moderated and disciplined by new forms‚ and adapted to a new aesthetic and social milieu.

Musical Analysis The first piece I chose was Frédéric Chopin’s Prelude in E-Minor (op.28 no. 4). It was performed by Aldona Dvarionaite (2009). Chopin was a composer in the Romantic period.

Romanticism Romanticism is a philosophical and artistic movement which helped shape the way Western culture viewed themselves and their world. For some the word Romanticism may bring about thoughts of grand gestures of love‚ when in reality the Romantic Period had very little to do with love‚ and more to do with new ideas which clashed with the political and social norms of the Age of Enlightenment. Although England and Germany were the citadel for the romantic movement‚ Romanticism was an international
