Composers

Yes. In 1992, an article was written in the British Medical Journal, speculating that Mozart had Tourette Syndrome. The truth is we will probably never know whether he had Tourette Syndrome. What we do know is that he wrote letters to his cousin Maria that contained many obscene words, especially words having to do with bodily functions. It has also been documented that he was hyperactive, suffered from mood swings, had tics, and loved made-up words.

Only considering attested works, the number is 44 with the following distribution: piano (27), violin (5), horn (4), flute (1), bassoon (1), harp and flute (1), oboe (1), clarinet (1) for a total of 41 to which we can add 3 more: 1 sinfonian concertante for violin and viola 1 sinfonia concertante for oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon 1 flute concerto (arrangement of bassoon concerto)

Igor Stravinsky attended Saint Petersburg State University. It is located in Saint Petersburg, Russia and still stands and is being used today.

The Hyperbass flute is the largest and lowest pitched instrument in the flute family, with tubing reaching over 8 metres in length. It is pitched in C, four octaves below the concert flute, (three octaves below the bass flute, two octaves below the contrabass flute, and one octave below the double contrabass flute), with its lowest note being Co, one octave below the lowest C on the standard piano. At 16 Hz, this is below what is generally considered the range of human hearing (20 to 20,000 Hz).

Though many are not aware, the American composer George Gershwin was not only an opera composer. Indeed, Gershwin began his career mainly through his opera writing (with the collaboration of his brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin), but Gershwin was also a very successful general and world musician. Gershwin wrote many Broadway hits and numerous classical pieces. All of those contributed greatly to the general advancement of American music into what it is today. But most of all, Gershwin influenced American popular music through his Jazz composing. Gershwin composed countless Jazz pieces, some of which still hold great fame in American culture. Musicians like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Janis Joplin, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Madonna, John Coltrane and many others sang, played, or were greatly influenced by Gershwin's style and writing technique. Some might claim that Gershwin's influence on the musicians mentioned above cannot be considered an influence on modern American popular music like hip-hop and rap, yet those who make that claim are unaware of the musical history of both those interesting music genres. Both hip-hop's and rap's predecessors are Rock & Roll and Blues. Where did Rock & Roll and Blues evolve from? Jazz! Not many know, but the very early Rock & Roll bands featured mainly the saxophone as their lead instrument, quite the Jazzy feeling.

Gershwin's writing influenced Jazz, which created the music scene as we know it today. Gershwin (amongst many others), is one of the grandparents of modern American popular music.

Actually two great composers were born in the same year as Handel -one was Johann Sebastian Bach and the other was Domenico Scarlatti -there were probably dozens of less important ones born in that year -1685 I think.

Rachmaninoff was born in Semyonovo, Russia. Due to debts that had to be paid, his family moved to Saint Petersburg. Much later on in 1917, he went to Helsinki. In 1918 he moved to New York and in 1921, he bought a house. In 1932 he went to Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. Then he went back to live in Los Angeles, California. He died in 1943 in Beverly Hills, California.

You were almost right. The song was written by Ralph, but when he was with Mott the Hoople, and appeared on the All the Young Dudes album. After Mott the Hoople, Ralph took the song with him when he went to join Bad Company. So yes, almost right.

Generally you are trying to tell a story or get a point across using few words, so creative thinking helps. Be yourself though, don't try to be overly cleaver unless that is your point.

Beethoven and Haydn certainly did, Haydn taught Beethoven.

Between Beethoven and Mozart the picture is less certain, they may have met in Vienna in 1787, and some people think that Beethoven may even have had a few lessons from Mozart. However the records are not clear or contemporaneous.
