Composers

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

Robert Schumann (June 8, 1810 - July 29, 1856) and his famous sister Clara Schumann (Sept 13, 1819 - May 20, 1896), both were considered distinguished and very active composers in the Romantic Era.

Most of Clara Schumann's works were for or included her instrument, the piano. She wrote a concerto and a piano trio, very much solo piano music and songs for voice with piano accompaniment. She also wrote some choral music. As she grew older she wrote less, and produced no works after the age of 36. She devoted most of her life to her husband, Robert Schumann's music.

Frédéric François Chopin was buried in Paris. He died in his apartment at Place Vendôme 12, Paris at age 39 on October 17, 1849 from pulmonary tuberculosis (or possibly cystic fibrosis -- the controversy over his cause of death still is unresolved). His body was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France. Because of his superstitions and fears about being buried alive, his heart was removed and preserved at a Warsaw church (Krasiński Palace at Krakowskie Przedmieście 5) in his home country of Poland.

Georges Bizet was musically influenced by his teacher Gounod. His first work Symphony in C was strongly influenced by Gounod, that it wasnt produced until 1935, incase Georges was charged for imitation.

Mozart's first teacher in music was his father, Leopold.
