Classical Music

The longest symphony ever written is Alexander Scriabin's "Preparation for the Final Mystery", realised posthumously by Alexander Nemtin who worked on it for 26 years and finished it in 1999. It lasts close to 3 hours. In the first stages of its conception and before his untimely death Scriabin imagined it to last for 7 days, accompanied by a colored light show, incense and dance.

Formally it was assumed, Havergal Brian's symphony "Gothic" was the longest lasting about 2 hours. This one you can find listed in the "Guinness Book of Records".

This question is a little too general, but I think I know the answers you are looking for.

Early orchestras had 30 to 60 players. As the music progressed to the classic/romantic period, the size of a symphony ochestra increased to 60 and above, exceeding 100 or hundreds, if choirs were involved.

Then there are the groups with fixed numbers, like quartets and trios that tell you from the designation how many players are needed. Another grouping popular in the past was the chamber orchestra. This was just a small orchestra. This is not to be confused with groups that played "chamber music". They played pieces specifically written for three to nine performers. This was the amount of musicians that could fit in a large room or "chamber" in a rich person's house and still have room for spectators.

Bach and Vivaldi are Baroque composers.

I would say Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven are the 3 most famous of the Classical Period. Beethoven is indeed a bridge into the Romantic Era.

The Moldau is a beautiful piece of music which follows the Romantic form in that it is very expressive. Instead of being composed for the purpose of just 'entertainment', the Moldaupaints a picture, showing the journey of the nation's river as it winds through the Bohemian countryside (now Czechoslovakia). It was a nationalistic piece, highlighting the beauty of the river and the countryside, and nationalism was not generally reflected in musical compositions until the Romantic Era. The music gains intensity to reflect the journey of the river, beginning as a quiet stream up in the mountains, until it reaches the ocean, where the music deepens and broadens.

Johann Pachelbel itself was his full name.

perhaps "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg.

Georges Bizet was a Romantic era composer best known for his opera 'Carmen'. He also wrote a superb symphony called 'Roma', which is unfortunately hard to find on CD, but worth the effort.
