What does Mozart think of salieri music?

There is no reason to believe that either of them hated each other. They actually were rather friendly towards each other considering that they were professional rivals.

I think that Salieri hated Mozart so much for many reasons. First of all Salieri thought that it was ridiculous for Mozart to have so much talent for Mozart was flamboyant and reckless and never have to work hard for it. Meanwhile Salieri had to work for what he had by doing stuff like giving up his temptation toward women. Mozart had a father who supported and encouraged him and taught him everything he knows while Salieri's father thought that music was a waste of time and discouraged him, so Salieri had learn how to play the piano by himself. Salieri hated Mozart because was not as good and realized he would never be. He wanted for the musical prodigy to be dead and for him to be the one everyone loved and envied

Why bach compose Well-Tempered Clavier?

Bach wrote the Well-Tempered Clavichord (in German,

Das Wohltempierte Klavier) to show the world his well temperament method of tuning. Rumors have persisted over time that he was a proponent of equal temperament (what we use today); however, it is called the Well-Tempered Clavichord, not the Equal-Tempered Clavichord.

Beethoven only composed very few pieces in a "classical tone", primarily his first symphony.

His second symphony, Eroica, was a key example of the romantic era.

There is no record of what immediately spurred the composition of the Four Seasons. They are part of a larger collection of 12 violin concerti titled "The Contest Between Harmony and Invention."

Did Beethoven have any enemies?

Yes.... It's true that the Archbishop of Salzburg strongly despised Mozart and constantly mistreated him. Mozart hated him right back - so he got sacked from the court in 1781, and was literally given a kick. Mozart then moved to Vienna, where he stayed there for the rest of his life - and he avoided Salzburg like the plague.

Thanks to the movie Amadeus, many people these days think Mozart's enemy was Antonio Salieri. To put the facts straight, Salieri and Mozart were rivals - but at the same time were good friends. Salieri did help him with a few projects, but he didn't help him finish the Requiem.

A few examples of famous renaissance composers are: Orlando di Lasso, Josquin de Prez, Guillame de Machaut, William Byrd, John Dowland.
