What is Ludwig van Beethoven known for?

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer. He continued to compose music even after he began losing his power to hear when he was 28 years old. Beethoven's Fifth and his Ninth Symphony are two of the best known compositions. He first performed at the age of seven. Beethoven went deaf at an early age. It is said that he cut the legs off a piano so he could feel the vibrations of the music so that he could still conduct music. This, however, is not as dramatic as it sounds: many early pianos were made with removable legs so they could be moved between the courts where the musicians played. Beethoven is generally regarded as the composer who bridged the transition between the Classical and Romantic Eras in music. It was Beethoven's introduction of expressive and passionate dynamics that introduced the Romantic Era.


What is the use of viola?

The viola is the best instrument in the world....okay I'm biased because I play one!! The viola is basically the chord filler. It fits the harmony in. In string quartets it can play with the violins or the cello. It also closes the gap between violin and cello so that the sound is complete.

What is Joseph Haydn best music?

Haydn, in my opinion, was the best classical composer that ever lived (no offence, Mozart). Besides inventiong the modern string quartet and single-handedly changing the world of symphonies, he had amazing works. His 94th symphony 'The Surprise' is a must, the 2nd movement in it is absolutely wonderful. His string quartet Op 33 No. 3 'The Joke' is one of the best string quartets. His piano sonata No. 50 in C Major is also highly recommended, and so are all of his concertos, the best of which are the trumpet concerto in E-flat Major and his Piano Concerto No. 11 in D major (Both are the top of the concerti repertuar if you ask me). When you look up a haydn recording, try to find the brightest one, for that is how haydn should be played.
