Composers

Handel lived in Germany and Britain and Italy.

Tomaso Albinoni died on January 17, 1751 at the age of 79.

Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach married Johanna Maria Dannemann in 1744. Together they had three children; Johann Adam, Anna Carolina Philipinna and Johann Sebastian "the Younger". Johann Sebastian went on to become a painter, but he died on a trip to Italy in his late-twenties. The other two children went on to become musicians, but neither of them would grow up to be as successful musician as their father or their grandfather.

Carl and Johanna remained married until he died in December 1788. He was buried at the church of St. Michael in Hamburg.

It was his "signature" ... SDG stood for: Soli deo Gloria (to God be the glory).

Mozart is the most famous composer who died at the age of 35.

Philippe de Vitry and Guillaume de Machaut

According to what George Gershwin achieved in his lifetime, it is clear that he was a hard working and determined person. Even at the last stages of his life he wrote music, showing his attitude towards his career.

The West End Theatre is a long standing tradition when it comes to performances. One would need to check the official theatre website to know when Wicked would be performing.

Mozart wrote it in 1787

He lived in France for his young life and then moved to Italy.

Composers like Claude Debussy created the Impressionist movement which replaced Romanticism. Impressionism is an early form of Modernism.

Austria (Salzburg).

No, he was a composer. He was born in France in 1862 and died in 1918. Debussy was one of the most prominent figures working within the field of impressionist music, though he himself intensely disliked the term when applied to his compositions. Debussy is not only among the most important of all French composers, but also a central figure in European music at the turn of the 20th century.

It obviously depends on how quickly it is played, so it will vary somewhat. But roughly: The first movement is about 19 minutes, the second is 7 and the finale is about 10 minutes. That is 36 minutes, give or take.

Beethoven was a virtuoso pianist, and wrote much of his early music for his own performances. He was also instructed by a relative in playing the violin and viola. From age 7 to about 9 his father tried to exploit him as a Wunderkind, as Mozart's father had done with Wolfgang. It is not clear whether he performed on violin or only on piano during those appearances, and by age 9 they were over.

4 Movements:

1: Poco sostenuto-vivace

2: Allegretto

3: Presto

4: Allegro con brio

Symphony No. 3 by Ludwig van Beethoven, also known as Eroica, which is Italian for heroic. The piece is composed in E flat.

Beethoven dedicated this piece originally to Napoleon Bonaparte but he changed that when Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor. Beethoven later dedicated it to the memory of a great man. ( as in the man Napoleon used to be, before he proclaimed himself emperor ).

They didn't classify school grades so much in Mozart's day. There was no Elementary, Middle or High School ... it was just "school", usually taught at home by parents or relatives, although there were universities specializing in various subject matters.

obviously that's why it's an instrament monica h. :)

2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets (B-flat in movements 1-3, C in 4), 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 2 horns (E-flat and C; E-flat in movements 1 and 3, C in 2 and 4), 2 trumpets in C, 3 trombones (alto, tenor and bass), timpani (C and G throughout), and the usual string section with first and second violins, violas, cellos and double basses. The contrabassoon and the trombones are only used in the final movement.

History has remembered him with such titles as "Founder of Modern Violin Technique," the "World's First Great Violinist," and the "Father of the Concerto Grosso."

Although one would think the air guitar, it is not so :)

The piano is the most played instrument.

approx. 21 million Americans play the piano (about 1in every 12 people)

In my school class of 16, 7 students play the piano.

I do not, although I play 7 instruments.

If you mean Piotr Tchaikovsky, he won an Honorary Doctor of Music Degree from Cambridge University in 1893
