Beethoven had a grandfather, also named Ludwig who died when he was very young. He had a grandmother named Josepha who passed on her alcoholism to her son, Beethoven's father, Johann. Johann was a highly irresponsible father who had to be looked after by his children more than he looked after them. Beethoven's mother, Maria Magdelena died when Beethoven was 17 but was a wonderfully kind woman who Beethoven loved very much. Beethoven older brother, Ludwig Maria died before Beethoven was born. Beethoven had two younger brothers named Caspar Anton Carl and Nikolas Johann. He had more younger siblings but none of them lived to adulthood. Their names were Franz Georg, Anna Franziska and Maria Magaretha. When he was older Beethoven had a nephew (son of Caspar Carl) named Karl who he looked after once Caspar Carl had died. It was over this boy that Beethoven had a bitter custody battle with Johanna van Beethoven (Caspar Carl's widow). Beethoven never married but he had some illegitamate children named Minoa (with Josephine von Brunswick and Karl with Antoine Brentano and possible others as well.

Most of his work is oil on canvas. He also made woodcuts and drawings.

The opera 'William Tell' was composed by Rossini. That included the overture, of course.

Mozart had two surviving children: The eldest, Karl, became a civil servant for the government of Milan and died in 1859. The younger, Wolfgang Amadeus Franz Xaver, became a respected composer and pianist, though his works are virtually unknown today. He died in 1844. Mozart had four other children that did not survive infancy: Raimund Leopold, Johann Thomas Leopold, Theresia Constanzia Adelheid Friedericke Maria Anna and Anna Maria.

They just found a composition just a few weeks ago that they thought was Mozart's from when he was 4. The manuscript was written, they think, in his father's hand and the style was Wolfgang's. Here is an article from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/08/02/new.mozart/index.html?iref=newssearch

The question is meaningless. Symphonies open with several different musical forms.

No one actually give Vivaldi the nickname, il prete rosso. He got that because his red flaming (and rare) hair.

I am doing this song at school for my voice class. It was not written by Selah. It was written in Ireland by Rolf Loveland and Brendan Graham. It was origianlly supposed to be an instrumental song based off of Grahams novels.

The composer isn't known, but the words were written by journalist Cliff Hanley.

The BeeGees wtote it and Kenny Rogers and Dolly parton sang it.

I'm not sure what the question is, but I will try to guess what you mean:

The Polonaise in A-flat Major Opus 53 is one of Chopin's most famous works. Notice that it's just a Polonaise, not a Polonaise-Fantasy. You may be looking for the Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-flat Major, Opus 61; in which case I cannot help you.

This polonaise though, nicknamed the "Heroic Polonaise", was written in a somewhat freer manner than most Polonaises. But nonetheless it is one of the most popular Chopin pieces to date and is still widely played by amateurs and professionals alike (an example of the former being yours truly). The piece is difficult to play at best; a notable example being the b-flat melodic minor ascension scale, which trips me up at least. I can't speak for others. Then we have the E-major section in the middle where the left hand plays on octaves; in a word: the weakling's nightmare. I don't mean offense to anyone; but if your left hand isn't strong enough, you can forget about playing this song unless you have the dedication to keep working at it until you can play the section with appropriate quality (I still can't, so please don't call me a hypocrite....I'm just warning you beforehand, it's a very difficult thing to play).

Also, one must be careful to apply just enough rubato and not too much/too little to the song; in my opinion, Rafal Blechacz plays the song with just enough rubato, and Horowitz is an example of too little (though I'm sure I'm going to get flamed for this. PLEASE don't start screaming at me. I like Horowitz's playing too; I just think he could have used oh-so-slightly more rubato in his interpretation). Then if you look at some others, they use too much (I believe it was a Japanese person who did so in the International Chopin Competition).

Enough about rubato; the last thing to mention is persistence. Since I am a piano noob, it took me two years to get this song to the point where it is actually playable; I still have not mastered the middle E-major section on octaves and cannot play the song through without mistakes. I suspect you are not such a noob as I am; and so you will have much less difficulty.

Good luck!

The only problem with these services is that a lot of them charge money, and these fees add up really fast. One company that I have personally tried and used for a while is called Promo Only, and they charge around $30 or so just to get your music added to their network. I know a lot of bands who used this service and were happy with it, and they got some great exposure because of it.
