Baroque composers felt as though their music was there to tell a story and evoke emotional responses. The music could be comical or dramatic and often drove people to tears.

Giovanni Pierluigi de Palestrina

with a pencil

He mostly wrote operas and sacred choral music because those were his duties in the Austrian imperial court. As for instrumental music he wrote for piano, organ, and various woodwinds. His favourite instrument to play was the clarinet although he played a number of instruments including keyboards.

He is famous for writing music.

The 18th century was called the Baroque period, and Vienna was a Baroque city. But in his case, he wrote music in that era and in the classical period also. Two eras, one composer.

I'm not to sure so go 2 Bach fun facts on goggle (sorry it is my first time on here!!!!)

Take slow deep breaths in, then let out slowly. Think of the applause you'll get! No matter what instrument; Trumpet, piano, violin, even vocals, It's nearly impossible to not be nervous at all. For one thing, think of playing it perfectly, and not how you could mess up. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, Get a good rest in before the performance, or a really good night's sleep, trust me, it makes a HUGE difference!

No

Piano, I guess.

According to Eric R. Bronner's article "New 'Standards' for Singers: The Next Generation of Great American Songbook Writers," John Bucchino was born in 1952.

Miserere, by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652)

Beethoven held a great influence on Wagner, especially in Wagner's earliest compositions.

Bach actually wrote two toccata-and-fugue pairs in D minor, both in 1708. The most famous one (appeared in the original Fantasia movie, and often used as a stock piece of generic "scary music") is BWV 565. The other, sometimes called the "Dorian" toccata and fugue, is BWV 538. Check the number if you're looking to buy a recording!

Nocturne in E flat major, op. 9 no. 2 .......

no...i don't think so...I play piano myself and i am up to 7th grade. I currently play the Nocturne in E flat major, op. 9 no. 2 and it is NOT his most famous plece. It is very famous but the most famous one is

Ø Fantaisie- Impromptu in C sharp minor, Opus posthumous 66

The Nocturne No.2 is more famous to the ordinary person.

But the Fantasie-Impromptu is more famous to the piano player

What about his Funeral March?? Is that not pretty well known??

How about the Waltz in D-flat... sometimes called the minute waltz because it can be played in one minute! :D

Most famous doesn't necessarily mean best, although his work is consistently brilliant. I think his most famous piece is the A flat Polonaise.

It was Beethoven's last symphony; his abilities as a composer were fully-developed.

It was the first symphony by any composer to use voices.

In spite of the fact that it is in a minor key, it builds to a joyful finale.

It has quite a few memorable melodies--in modern terms, it's got some great hooks.

No. Stravinsky was descended from Polish nobility and was of the Russian Orthodox faith. He was pro-fascist and quite anti-Semitic.

Questions like this one are impossible to answer. It is both vague and simplistic. How do you decide when a composer becomes 'famous'? (Famous where? How? To whom?) What exactly do you mean by a 'classical' composer? If you can explain exactly what it is you want to know, and for what purpose, you might get a useful answer.

Handel lived in Germany and Britain and Italy.
