Musicians of all nations: Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven came to Vienna from Bonn in 1792 at the age of twenty-two, and from the time of his death in 1827 he never left the city that was so particularly attractive to musicians. Beethoven composed the vast majority of his works here. All nine of his symphonies were premiered in Vienna. In 1805, his only opera, Fidelio, was premiered at the Vienna State Opera. Beethoven is regarded by posterity as the greatest symphonic writer of all time. His Heroic Symphony is full of passion. His Ninth Symphony, taken from the German poet Schiller's Ode to Joy, is now the EU's anthem.
Ludwig van Beethoven, one of Germany's greatest musicians, traveled to Vienna in 1792 to further his studies and made rapid artistic progress. Beethoven faith *** and, venerate the hero, created a large number of excellent works full of the atmosphere of the times, such as: symphony "hero", "fate"; overture "mourning Grammont"; Piano Sonata "Pathos", "Moonlight", "Tempest", "Passion" and so on.

Fran?ois Gounod
French composer, born in Paris, he studied at the Conservatoire de Paris under Allevi. 1839 in Rome, he studied religious music, which was reflected in his compositions. He was the author of the Vatican anthem "Pope's March" (1846). After returning home, he was a choir director and founded the "Gounod Choir".
His specialty of choral writing can be seen in the opera Faust. Faust" was written in 1859, from the classical masterpieces, simple and easy music, rich and skillful orchestration, is the representative of the second half of the nineteenth century German lyric opera. In addition, he composed more than ten operas such as Romeo and Juliet, three symphonies and a large number of religious songs. His "Ave Maria" to the accompaniment of Bach's "Prelude in C Major" has been widely circulated and is an example of intergenerational collaboration.
Schumann
Famous German musician. Since childhood, Schumann showed talent in music, poetry and theater. After his father's untimely death, Schumann studied law in Heidelberg, Leipzig, but continued to study music tirelessly and became one of the premier pianists in the region. 1830, after obtaining his mother's understanding, Schumann began his career as a musician and studied with the famous pianist Wieck. In his haste to achieve success, he broke his fingers and turned to music composition and criticism. He was a passionate and sensitive musician with a democratic mindset, and in 1834 he founded the New Music Magazine, which played an important role in changing the stereotypical musical air of the time and promoting the development of romantic art. He composed many new and unique piano pieces, such as Butterfly, Carnival, Symphonic Etudes and Fantasy, which contributed to the development of the Romantic style of music. His union with his wife Clara has always been rumored to be a beautiful story, and prompted his unprecedented creative enthusiasm. 1840, he wrote 138 songs, known as the "song literature". The most famous ones are "Myrtle", "The Poet's Love" and "The Love and Life of a Woman". Later, he wrote four symphonies, the Piano Concerto in A minor, the Manfred Overture and other outstanding works. Due to prolonged overwork, he died in an asylum near Bonn in 1856.
Schumann's major works include: Symphony No. 1; Piano Concerto in A minor; piano suites Carnival, David's Confederacy Allies, Scenes for Children and Symphonic Etudes, Butterflies, Twelve Etudes on a Theme of Paganini, and a collection of songs such as Myrtle, The Poet's Love, and The Love and Life of a Woman.
Bizet
French composer. It was an outstanding figure who, after the French composer Gounod, broke the influence of Italian opera on France and liberated French opera from shallowness and pomposity.
Bizet's most outstanding opera "Carmen" is one of the few most popular operas in the world. The famous Overture to Carmen and its children's chorus, the Habanera, have become popular and outstanding works. However, Bizet's unique path of exploration in opera creation was full of hardships. He had composed a number of operas, all of which were unpopular in his time, and the premiere of Carmen was also a failure, as his contemporaries were "shocked and offended by the bold realism and naked emotion" of his work. He is said to have wandered the streets of Paris all night in agony over it. And it was only because it was attacked and ridiculed by the critics that Carmen was staged for months on end. Bizet died the same year Carmen was performed only having lived to be 37 years old, and during his lifetime he did not enjoy the honors that came with the excellence of his art. But the opera was appreciated and praised by foreign musicians, who predicted that "in ten years' time, Carmen will be the most popular opera in the world". In fact, in less than a decade, Carmen was a great success when it was performed again in Paris five years later.
Bizet's musical path is quite revealing, when he repeated the previous road, with his talent, at the age of 19, won the Grand Prix de Rome and the first prize of the Olabas, when he opened a new road for the French opera, but again and again suffered failure. It can be seen that any innovative road is inevitably subject to bumps and tests. But history is always fair in the end. Bizet also left people with treasures such as the music written for Duder's play "The Girl of Alesen", which was later arranged into a suite and often performed in concerts.
Liszt
Born in the Hungarian town of R?ddin, not far from the Austrian border, his family moved to Vienna in 1821, where he studied piano with Cherny and composition with Salieri. From the age of 11 he began a brilliant career as a pianist. In Paris he was influenced by the French revolutionary ideas and the literary Romantic movement. He absorbed the achievements of Chopin, Berlioz and Paganini, etc. Before 1848, he performed all over Europe and was wildly popular, becoming a generation of piano giants with extraordinary skills. In 1848-1861, he was the conductor and music director of the court orchestra in Weimar, Germany, where he fostered progressive composers and performed their latest works, and in 1854 he organized the "Neue Weimarische Gesellschaft", and a few years later the "All-German Musical Society", the "All-German Musical Society". In 1854 he organized the "New Weimar Society" and a few years later the "All-German Musical Society", which made Weimar one of the centers of musical culture at that time. During this period he also composed most of his symphonic works. Thwarted in his marriage to Princess Sehn-Weitgenstein, he moved to Rome after a controversy over an opera performance. Accepted a lowly priesthood, but continued to play for charity, traveling to Rome, Weimar, and Budapest to compose and teach. Teaches a number of famous pianists. Died while visiting his daughter Cosima in Verot.
Liszt was the most brilliant piano player in the 19th century. Inspired by Paganini, the famous Italian violinist, he was determined to create the same miracle on the piano. His playing style inherited the tradition of dynamical piano music of Clementi and Beethoven, and developed a style of virtuosic playing that was the showmanship of 19th century concerts. On the other hand, he regarded the piano as the king of all instruments and pursued a grand symphonic sound. His performances and piano music compositions greatly advanced the art of the piano.
The main piano works include: 12 Exercises for Advanced Technique, 6 Paganini Exercises, a collection of piano pieces for the Traveling Years, and 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies actually based on Gypsy music from Hungary. The two piano concertos, No. 1 in bE major and No. 2 in A major, are close to his orchestral works. Liszt also had a large number of 19th-century operas teaching mirror joints in the form of futuristic Ye? Mother wise figurative staff coy?T Kuma gilt? T Kuma Lilt? In the 9th century, these Liszt adaptations played an important role in the promotion and popularization of Romantic music.
As a composer Liszt made important contributions to 19th century title music. After Berlioz's title symphony, he created the genre of the "symphonic poem". This symphonic form, which was more ideal for Romanticism, was derived from the overtures of Beethoven, Wilber, and Mendelssohn. The titles of Liszt's thirteen symphonic poems reveal their close connection with literature, painting and theater. For example, The Battle of the Huns is associated with painting, Matepha is based on Hugo's poem of the same name, Hamlet is a major character in Shakespeare's play, and Prometheus is linked to Dell's verse. Unlike Berlioz, Liszt did not focus on depicting scenes and events in music, and he never lapsed into trivial musical interpretation, instead pursuing philosophical generalizations about the content of a work or its artistic imagery. His symphonic poems are closer to the tradition of Beethoven's Symphonies. Liszt's symphonic poems are in a single movement, retaining some of the characteristics of the sonata form, with variations and contrasts in the tempo of the passages and seemingly condensing the symphonic suite into a single piece, with the dominant motifs varying throughout to achieve unity of music and dramatic development. His symphonic poems also include Tasso, Mountains, Ideal, Hungary, etc., of which the Prelude is the most frequently played. It is characterized by his fiery, exaggerated musical emotions. Liszt also wrote the Faust Symphony and the Dante Symphony. His symphonic poems were widely adopted by musicians in various countries in the second half of the 19th century, becoming the most important Romantic orchestral genre.
Claudio Monteverdi
A distinguished Italian opera composer, one of the most important representatives of the pre-Baroque school. At the age of twenty, he completed his debut work, Pastoral for five voices, and thus became famous. His music is like a human body, rich in distinctive personality and fiery passion, thus pushing baroque music to the climax. He paid attention to learn from the experience of his predecessors, skillfully used the traditional polyphonic music techniques, fixed the form of music in the opera, and clearly stipulated that the musical expression must be subordinate to the needs of the dramatic plot. His operas are highly emotional, emphasizing the portrayal of the psychological aspects of the characters, and he pioneered the use of the orchestra to accompany the operas, providing a wide margin for the unfolding of the music. In his lifetime*** he composed nine collections of pastoral songs, twenty-one religious pastoral songs, twenty-one trios, fifteen harmonicas for three voices, ten harmonicas for two voices, nearly one hundred religious works, and several operas of absolute excellence, such as Orfeo and The Coronation of Poppea. These do not include his numerous works that have been lost.
H?ndel
Famous English-German composer. Born in Halle, Germany, he studied composition with the organist Chahau, and later worked as an organist and artistic director in churches. Because of his love of secular music, he moved to Hamburg in 1703 - the only German city with a national opera at that time - and began to engage in opera composition. 1704, he wrote his first opera, Omnia, in Hamburg, which was a great success. 1706, he traveled to Italy, where he wrote a number of operas, oratorios, cantatas, including the famous opera Agrippina. In 1706, Handel traveled to Italy, where he wrote many operas, oratorios and cantatas, including the famous Agrippina. In 1710 Handel moved to London, where he composed in Hamburg and London, and soon became a leading authority on music in England. 1711's opera Linudo was a great success. With the patronage of the Duke of Trandos, he wrote the oratorio Esther and eleven Trandos cantatas. 1717 he settled in England, and in 1719, with the support of the king, he began to perform his operas at the Royal Academy of Music. This period saw his finest operatic works, Leda Misto, Gloria. In 1726 he became a naturalized Englishman. In the 1830s, Handel composed a large number of English oratorios and instrumental music for oratorios, including a number of great concertos, and in his lifetime*** composed forty-six operas, such as Alcina and Orlando, with the exception of five, all of which were composed in London. Later, due to persecution by opposition forces, the works were banned and the theater was forced to close down. From the end of the thirties onwards, he was engaged in oratorio writing without stage performance. ***He wrote thirty-two oratorios, most of which were composed in England, and had a profound influence on British music. His masterpieces include the orchestral pieces Music on the Water, Music for Fireworks, and the oratorio Messiah, of which Hallelujah was the most widely circulated, premiered by Messiah in 1742. Subsequent oratorios were composed at a rate of roughly two per year, continuing until 1751, when he had to give them up because his eyesight was so poor by then.Notable works from the period 1742-1751 include Samson, Solomon, and his death in London in 1759 after a long illness. Although Handel wrote a very large number of musical works, he did not use Bach's counterpoint throughout his compositional career. Handel's artistic character is dramatic and lyrical, and his greatest artistic legacy is his oratorio works. Major Works Music on the Water Music for the Royal Fireworks <Messiah>
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an outstanding Austrian composer, born in Salzburg to a court musician. He displayed outstanding musical talent from his youth, and his life's work was extremely varied. The most important field of his creation is opera, ****22 pieces, and another important part of his creation is symphony, ****45 pieces. His musical creation that inherited and developed the results of Haydn and other predecessors, and later Beethoven and other people's creation of an important influence
Mozart may not be the greatest composer, but he is definitely recognized as the greatest musical genius. Even Tchaikovsky, who was arrogant and unruly throughout his life, called him the Christ of music. Someone once put it this way, "There is a bright moment in the history of music when all opposites are reconciled and all tensions are removed, and that bright moment is Mozart."
Born in Salzburg in 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart demonstrated unrivaled musical talent from an early age: he began playing the piano at the age of three, composing at the age of six, writing his first symphony at the age of eight, and completing his first opera at the age of eleven, which he performed at the age of fourteen, conducting the orchestra. It can be said that Mozart was born for music, and from the moment he was born, he became one with music.
At the age of 16, Mozart was appointed organist at the Salzburg court. Although during this time Mozart composed a great number of excellent works, he could not tolerate the bossy and arbitrary bullying of the Archbishop of Salzburg. There, Mozart was just a servant who played the organ, and he once described his company at a court dinner to his father as follows: two footmen, the butler, the pastry chef, and two cooks, with the footmen sitting at the top table and Mozart on top of the cooks. Finally, in 1781, Mozart broke away from his dependence on the archbishop, became the first free composer in history, and traveled to Vienna to develop his career. In Vienna, Mozart made his living by teaching private students, giving concert performances and publishing his works. During this time, Mozart was exposed to the works of Bach and H?ndel and befriended Haydn, which enriched his musical ideas.
In Vienna, Mozart's musical accomplishments were marvelous, and he once described his music-making in this way: "Works, however long, are done in my head. I take from memory what has long been stored. Therefore, it goes down on paper quite quickly, because everything is complete and it looks almost exactly as I imagined it on paper. So in my work I am not afraid of being disturbed, and whatever happens, I can even write and talk at the same time." Pity that such a genius, in the prime of his life, died of a wind-chill infection at the age of 35. On the last day of his life (December 9, 1971), he was still composing, but sadly, Mozart left his Requiem unfinished and left his hand behind, becoming one of the greatest regrets in the history of music.
Despite the fact that Mozart's life was full of ups and downs and hardships, his music has always brought people true and pure beauty. The famous music critic Romain Rolland made the following comment for Mozart: "His music is a portrait of life, but it is a glorified life. Although melody is a reflection of the spirit, it must please the spirit without injuring the flesh or damaging the sense of hearing. So, in Mozart's case, music is an expression of the harmony of life. This is true not only of his operas, but of all his works. His music, however it may seem, always points to the heart rather than to the intellect, and always expresses emotion or passion, but never passion that is unpleasant or abrupt."
Of course, a complete review of Mozart's music can never be expressed in these nearly 1,000 words. And to truly appreciate Mozart, the main thing to do is to listen to his works, and almost every one of his more than 1,000 works is a superb classic.

Franz Joseph Haydn
Famous Austrian composer, the earliest representative of the Viennese School of Classical Music. He studied music under very difficult conditions since his childhood, and in 1761 he worked as a music director in the house of the Duke of Esterhazy, where his work was extremely heavy but his status was very low. However, he composed a large number of works under difficult circumstances, and by the early nineties, he had become one of the leading musicians of his time. After two trips to London, he wrote twelve London Symphonies, the finest works of his life, and has since become famous throughout Europe. His compositions cover a wide range of subjects, among which the symphony and the string quartet are the most outstanding. He fixed the symphony into a four-movement form and orchestrated a complete set of symphonic orchestra compositions, laying the foundation for the development of modern symphonic music.
His music is rich in melody and often exudes a pure and cheerful country flavor. In his quartet compositions, he often used the "speaking principle," in which the themes of the various sections echo each other as if they were talking to each other, with a clear melody and the beauty of polyphony. In addition, in the development of the piece, he often used the "principle of living theme", which directly inspired Beethoven's "motivic development". Haydn is also the author of the current German national anthem.
Major works:

Rossini
One of the three masters of Italian opera in the first half of the nineteenth century. Born in Bessaro, Italy.

Ten years later, he composed "The Barber of Seville", which is a masterpiece of Italian comic opera with vivid language, free form and full of fantasy. His creation inherited the Italian tradition of melody and beautiful singing, the music is full of showy decorations and humor, joyful spirit, and absorbed the techniques of Beethoven's contemporaries, the use of orchestral music to replace and enrich the original ancient piano accompaniment which only serves as a cue for the pitch, and in 1829, he shelved his work, William Tell, which reflected the desire for national autonomy, and pushed forward the formation of the genre of grand opera. Thereafter, he did not engage in opera for nearly forty years. Among the nearly forty operas, the most influential are "Cinderella", "The Thieving Magpie", and the main opera "Othello" and "Moses", etc. The most influential are the "Cinderella", "The Thieving Magpie", and the main opera "Othello".

Verdi
The great Italian composer. Born in Busseto, Parma, Verdi studied music with Lavinia at the Milan Conservatory of Music in 1832, and in 1842 he wrote his second opera, "The King of Nabucco," which was a great success and made him a first-rate composer in Italy. At that time, Italy was in the midst of a revolutionary wave to get rid of the Austrian rule, and he inspired the people to struggle with his operas "The Lombards" (1848), "Ernani" (18744), "Alzira" (1846), "The Battle of Leniano" (1849), and revolutionary songs, which earned him the title of "Master of Music of the Italian Revolution". He was called the "Master of Italian Revolutionary Music" because of this.

He composed twenty-six operas in his lifetime, making good use of Italian folk tunes and rich orchestral effects, and was especially able to vividly portray the desires, character, and inner world of the playwrights, which made him one of the most popular opera composers in the world because of its strong and touching power.
