1. Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Haydn was a remarkable composer‚ epitomizing the meaning of classical period composition‚ and though he wasn’t as flashy as the younger Mozart‚ his music always stayed true to form.

‘Death Of A Salesman’ is mainly told from Willy Loman‚ who’s the main protagonist’s perspective. Loman is a classic example of an anti-hero.

These examples range from “Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother” to the more obvious “Thou Shall Not Covet or Steal” and “Thou Shalt Not Kill” amongst others. In all‚ Shakespeare’s use of religion within Hamlet‚ shows how

Beethoven continued to expand the "development" section of works‚ extending a trend in the works of Haydn and Mozart‚ who had dramatically expanded both the length and substance of instrumental music. As Beethoven’s major immediate predecessors and influences‚ he looked to their harmonic and formal models for his own works. However‚ both Mozart and Haydn placed the great weight of a musical movement in the statement of ideas called the exposition‚ for Beethoven the development
