We'll look at three classical compsers/ piano players who heavily influenced classical music.
Ludwig Van Beethoven. Famous more for the fact he composed, Beethoven wrote and performed music while being deaf in his later 20s with the use of a sound rod to feel the vibrations. Born at the end of 1770, Beethoven followed in the family tradition of music by working at some point in the court of the Elector of Cologne. The elector financed his move to Vienna in 1792, where we studied the violin and counterpoint. Beethoven started to loss his hearing in 1796 in his twenties, which has been speculated to be the result of lead posioning, due to its high volume of use. The work of Beethoven has been put into three different setions: the early, middle and later periods. His early period work was said to be influenced by mozart (who we'll get to in a minute) and went upto 1806. The middle period went from 1803-1814, and the later period went from 1815 up till his death.
Wolfgang Mozart. Mozart, born in 1756 is thought to be one of the greatest classical composers, with over six hundred pieces wrote and composed to his name. Mozart was considered a child prodigy, playing to royalty and composing from the age of five, and was employed as a court musician at seventeen in Salzburg. After visiting Vienna he deicded to stay on and this is they city where he acheived fame, but little fortune. He died of what is believed to be Rheumatic fever in 1791, and rumour has it he was dictacting music on his deathbed.
Bach. Born in 1865 in Germany, Bach helped to mature the classical subgenre of Baroque, being hugely influential on the genre. During his life he was more famous for being an organist rather than a composer, for which he was only rediscovered in the 19th century and now considered to be one of the best composers of all time. Bach was an orphan at 10 years old and went to live with his brother, who was also a musician -most of Bach's family were. Bach received further musical tution from his Brother, learning the Clavicord. Two Bach's children from his first marriage were influential in the Rococo style that later followed Barquoe: Wilhem and Carl. Bach was hired by Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen as a director of music in his court (1717-1723) during which time Bach was widowed in 1720 and remarried in 1721. In 1723, Bach was appointed Cantor of Thomasschule, a posistion he held until his death in 1750.
