the first instrument that Mozart learned how to play was a clavier, which is very much like a harpsichord
When did Beethoven write the seventh symphony?
The 9th was first performed on 7th May 1824 and since Beethoven spent much time over most of his compositions rather than composing them in 'one go' it is not possible to say with certainly, but it would have been around 1817 when he started his composition.
The most believed is that he had rheumatic fever. This means that he got a high blood temperature. His doctors thought if they drained his blood, (as was the custom in those times) he might survive. He got weaker and weaker until he sadly died.
Others believe that since his last composition was a funeral dirge, the patron's messenger checked up on the song every week wore a mask. It is thought that while they were having tea the messenger poisoned Mozart so that they would receive his composition and claim that they wrote it, and rob him.
Also, they have evidence that another composer may have murdered him. The other composer was jealous that Mozart had it all, so he hated him. And so they have letters and old documents saying the other composer wished Mozart was dead.
So that would be another theory, but to be honest, they don't know how he died.
It is also possible that he died from food poisoning from uncooked pork.

What is the difference between a sonata and sonata allegro form?
Both are forms frequently but not exclusively used for solo instruments. Sonatas are compositions of anywhere from 2 to 3 or 4 independent sections that follow various conventions of structure, rhythm and tempo depending on the time and place of composition. Some sections will usually be based on various dance forms and the internal structures of these sections may be more rondo-like or repetitive as are songs; other sections will be written in what is called sonata-form, which is a distinct concept from sonata. Sonata-form is an approach to musical material that was a significant part of the development of symphonic music. It involves the exposition of thematic material, its development melodically and rhythmically, and its interplay with other materials introduced later on. There is then a recapitulation, a coda and a conclusion. Broadly, the best sonatas can be seen as miniature symphonies.
Sections written in sonata-form (I'm speaking as a passionate lay person and not an expert) by a skillful composer have characteristics that sometimes seem magical, if they are attended to by the listener. Anyone who has tried writing something as simple as a song, with a standard "song" structure, and has discovered how difficult that really is (I should say that it's really difficult to write an excellent song) will appreciate the nature of symphonic writing. Consider the opening of Beethoven's Eroica, Pastoral, and the 9th, or practically anything by Mahler. The music progresses with perfect coherence, and the sense is that not so much as one note could be changed without wrecking the entire structure, and yet it is not a song as such. Theme falls upon theme, and themes repeat and interplay with newly introduced material. When I think about writing something, my ear jumps at the chance to finish up with a 5-1 cadence and get on with it. As a result I think that sonata-form can be much more like abstract impressionism than anything else (early Pollock?), with clear, coherent structures balanced perfectly against each other, but seemingly by magic, not by some pre-ordained formula. It is said of Beethoven that he possessed every musical gift except the gift of melody [source?]. OK, he may not have been great at writing popular ditties. The statement highlights that he could create something magnificent out of very nearly nothing. Case in point: da da da daaaaaaaa...
Fugues are almost always single sections or pieces of music, and are usually identified by the number of voices that the fugue will contain. While non-fugue forms often are structured as melodic material supported by harmony underneath it, and with various devices of rhythm and counterpoint added to develop interest, complexity or other kinds of effect, the concept of fugue usually is that the voices are co-equal and co-functional. Voices will enter one by one, (for example, the alto line may introduce the theme, followed by soprano with the theme coming in a 5th above the alto, then tenor and bass in turn, at various degrees depending on the composer's desire.) Each voice opens with the original theme until all the voices are singing together. There are many techniques to varying and blending the voices and thematic material. Voices can rest from time to time, and when they re-enter, it will sometimes be with a re-statement of the theme. Fugues can move from major to minor mode, the theme can be inverted, the time-frame of the theme can be stretched out in one voice (in the bass for example, where it might present as a slower, solid basis for voices above moving at varying rates). While sonatas and symphonies can exhibit much more freedom in the voicings of various harmonies and developmental passages, the best fugues always maintain the voice structure they start with, and the sense of a beautiful, well-written fugue is that by the end, the voices have gone to the very depths of the theme, have examined it in the most meaningful way and have left nothing wanting by the time the last note sounds. The harmony and counterpoint are almost (or so it seems) spontaneously discovered as the voices interact.
Refer to any fugues by Bach, or for some more recent examples: the fugue in Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin, or the fugue passages from Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms.

Who wrote the Supertramp song Take The Long Way Home?
Roger Hodgson, the writer of the song, said this about the meaning of the song:
" I see 'home' as being internal and external. It's kind of a play on words. Definitely part of the song is about the shallowness of success and getting caught up in a world and success and chasing, being popular, or whatever, is taking 'the long way home'. Because I think 'home' in its deepest sense is inside, is being at peace with oneself. Again it's ambiguous - 'if you're not around' means… you're dead or you couldn't settle down - you couldn't take it and you're off looking for things that are more important. It's a fun song! I remember having a lot of fun writing it but never really having a clear picture of it. It was more… often when I write songs, I go by gut instinct. A line comes to me and they usually do come to me… the best lines come to me rather than me trying to think them up consciously and I just feel they're right and I go with them whether I totally understand the meaning or not. "

Original composer of Nadia's theme?
Classical I'd say, or TV theme
But I only know it from when mum used to be addicted by it..... -_-
-----------------------------------------
Based on it's instrumentation, form and melodic structure, it would be correctly considered to be a Contemporary Classical (sometimes referred to as 20th Century Classical) piano composition. However, it would not be incorrect to also categorize it as Popular Music (Pop). The category of Popular Music was extremely broad and diverse during the 1970's when "Nadia's Theme" became a hit song on the radio and made it onto the "Top 40"charts. It was (and still is) the theme song to the daytime television show, "The Young and the Restless".
