No because Tchaikovsky was a homosexual. He married, but they separated after six weeks. For personal reasons, neither he nor his wife ever tried to divorce. She later had children by other men, but Tchaikovsky had none.

The basso continuo was important to the Baroque era because it accompanied the melody line while filling in the harmony.

The 1946 Walt Disney adaptation of Peter and the Wolf gave names to the animals in the famous children's story originally written and composed by Sergei Prokofiev. The bird in the animated version is named Sasha.

Beethoven was fundamentally a classical composer. However there is much debate about whether his later work was classical, or romantic, as he became much more expressive. For this reason, the date that the romantic era began is often debated, between 1810, the year Beethoven's work became romantic style, and 1825, the year he died.

I remember reading off of an album cover thirty or forty years ago that Beethoven quipped, "The Ninth Symphony has a Story, but no one will ever guess it!"

It is perhaps impertinent to guess, buy mine is that his Ninth is his autobiography..writ large, of course. Beethoven's last string quartets might have been *personal*, as might have other chamber works, famously for example the "Moonlight Sonata", dedicated to an Italian diva, whose name has otherwise been lost, perhaps unfortunately, to history. But there is nothing personal about the Ninth. It is Beethoven imagining the perfection of humanity.

So the last movement, obviously, is death and transfiguration amongst a host of choristers.

Ergo, the first movement is Conception and Birth. In the Twenty-First Century (caps for us, aren't we important?), conception is taken for granted. Indeed, we even have CONTRA-conception. But in 1820, when Beethoven was thinking about Life, Conception was a Pretty Big Mystery. (That also made room for "immaculate conceptions" and other good stuff.) But it was a Big Mystery. So that's the basic idea of the first movement, with maybe labor pains when the tympani enter half-way through, beyond the Mystery of Conception. Then the first movement ends with the power of New Life.

The second movement is Scherzo, Youth, and joyful childhood and adolescence.

The third movement is maturity and old age. Hence the reversal of the classical positions of Scherzo and Adagio.

The last movement, as I have guessed, is Death and Transfiguration.

This all seems very obvious to me, but I'm sure Beethoven would be entertained to hear your interpretation, too.

Edvard Grieg is best known for his musical piece "In the hall of the mountain king." A very well-known piece, it features in many movies, cartoons and advertisements.

The term 'Fortspinnung' is frequently used to define Baroque music. Fortspinnung is a German word that describes the constantly unfolding nature of the music. When you listen to music from the Baroque, you will notice that it rarely comes to a complete stop. Even at Cadences, one or more voices lead into the next phrase.

By Contrast, music from the classical period has a much stronger focus on phrase units. Try listening to a Bach Prelude and Fugue (Baroque) and a Mozart piano Sonata (Classical) and comparing the phrasing. You can find some good examples on youtube. You may also notice some differences in the texture.

Baroque music has a strong focus on counterpoint, or line against line. If you listen to a Bach Fugue for example, you will probably notice that there are several different lines moving freely of each other. One may leap up while the other leaps down, or one may step down slowly while another is moving quickly in many different directions.

Classical music has a focus on harmony, or chords. While there are still different lines in much of Classical music, you will notice that there is a more distinct melody with a chordal accompaniment.

Music, literature and the arts are constantly changing, and evolving form. You see this constant change around us in everything - fashion, TV show genres, food fads and, of course, popular music. Whilst the Romantic era had brought in new changes, composers, writers, artists, etc, were seeking new ways to express themselves. It was the natural evolution of form as tastes changed.

Particularly in regard to music and composition, Debussy paved the way for the Impressionistic era, a time when musical form was less clearly defined, and a time when musicians and composers could experiment more with sounds and harmonies. Debussy's influence made a significant contribution to the transition from the Romantic era.

Claudio Monteverdi was a Roman Catholic priest, a violinist, and a composer. His outstanding accomplishments include composing the first dramatically viable opera called, Orfeo, and writing compositions that transitioned the world from Renaissance music to Baroque music.

Brahms's most famous piece is the Lullaby, but Hungarian Dance No. 5 is pretty famous too.

It's written in 3/8 time.

Hardstyle, Hardcore, Hard trance all range from 140-180 bpm

Improved answer: The fastest type of music is most likely "Dark Psychedelic" music. The normal Bpm ranges for this type of music is 145bpm - 240bpm. Their are even songs that have even more intense, and extreme Bpm than just a 240 bpm.

The movement of the Symphonie Fantastique played in "Sleeping With the Enemy" is the Witches' Sabbath or Witches' Dance. The main theme of the Witches' Sabbath is better known as the Dies Irae, which is originally from various Requiem masses dating from the medieval church.

It was a passion of his and his life revolved around classical music.

His father taught him to play violin and harpsichord.[4] His uncles were all professional musicians, whose posts ranged from church organists and court chamber musicians to composers. One uncle, Johann Christoph Bach (1645-93), was especially famous and introduced him to the art of organ playing. Bach was proud of his family's musical achievements, and around 1735 he drafted a genealogy, "Origin of the musical Bach family"

Last movements from concertos were usually having a fast tempo as in baroque period. A rondo finale was popular in classical period. The next popular form for final movement was sonata form.
