Composers

In 1875 at the age of 40 Saint-Saens married 19-year-old Marie-Laure Truffot. The marriage lasted about 6 years only and they separated but never divorced. He didn't re-marry.
He blamed his wife for the death of their two sons, André and Jean-François, in 1878 who died within six weeks of each other, one from illness the other by falling from a fourth floor window.

The song Someone to Love was written by Babyface, and performed by Babyface and Jon B, was released in 2005. The full lyrics can be downloaded from Metro Lyrics, AZ Lyrics or Sing365 websites.

Sebastian Bach is 6'3 (191 cm) I think you have the wrong Sebastian Bach. You are quoting the height of the contemporary Canadian Sebastian Bierk (changed name to Bach). JS Bach would have been shorter. Johann Sebastian Bach's height as recorded by Professor Wilhelm His Professor of Anatomy at the University Of Leipzig who exhumed the grave in 1894 and measured the skeleton was 166.8 cm or 5 feet, 5. 7 inches. Now Bach being an elderly man, he may have lost height with age, so 5 feet 7.5 inches, may also be considered . Google ' The Exhumation 1894 '.

Beethoven is usually associated with the romantic period, but he lived and composed much of his composing life during the late classical period.

I think it was most likely a money issue. Handel was clever enough to realise that if he wanted to earn more money then he'd have to move to London where everyone was going crazy for music and theatre after London's reconstruction after the Great Fire (1666). He moved to Brooke Street in London for the last 36 years of his life however, he found that the English didn't want to listen to Italian operas or German cantatas, they wanted pieces written in English which is why Handel wrote his oratorios for them.

1600 - 1750

The Well Tempered Clavier was written so people, such as students, could have a cycle of pieces, one each, in every major and minor key. This was something that was not possible in earlier times. Prior to the time of Bach, musical instruments were tuned with what were called just tempered systems. The intervals between notes were based on the overtone series, which give precise relationships based on ratios of integers; for example the relationship between the lengths of pipes in an organ that gave a C and the G above it were 2:3, between C and E was 4:5, and so on. The problem with this is that there are notes that cannot be tuned in this way, because no ration of integers is right. Ultimately, such notes had to be approximated, and were quite out of tune with certain other notes. The effect of this was that an instrument was tuned to be played in one key, and playing on it in other keys often sounded horrible. Also harmony was very restricted, because certain combinations of notes did not work together.

Well temperment was based on a very different approach to tuning. Instead of ratio of integers, the relationships between notes were irrational, in the mathematical sense of the word. The ratio of the C-sharp to C was the same as the twelfth root of two to one. The ratio of E to C was the same as the twelfth root of two raised to the fourth power, or the cube root of two, to one; this is very close to 5:4. So, relative to the overtone series, all the notes are almost inaudibly out of tune, but they are uniformly so, for all keys.

Bach became blind by over-straining his eyes whilst operating a laptop computer with his monitor brightness turned too far down. In 1749 (one year before his death) Bach became totally blind.

A lot of people don't know it by it's official name, but would recognize it as the opening theme music for The Lone Range. But there are no words so there is no way to tell what it's about.

*Not to be confused with the opening theme music to Bonanza.

He was from Salzburg in what is now Austria.

By Young Chang.

In the classical period of Western music, the late eighteenth century, composers were commissioned by patrons, the owners of orchestras: essentially the church, the nobility, and the opera houses. Beethoven was able to earn enough from publications and public concerts to break out of the patronage relationship, though he was not the first; Marenzio in the sixteenth century and Telemann in the early eighteenth were notable earners, and travelling performer-composers could always have some independence.

No awards. People were not given awards like today. Today every time someone does something they get an award. In the past they were lucky to be recognized and to make any money. Many artists and musicians died poor and it wasn't until they were dead that people liked their work.

Carl Orff. Orff's main artistic aim was to develop what he called total theater, a combination of music, words, and movement meant to produce an overpowering effect, both exhilarating and thought-provoking.

George Gershwin died on July 11, 1937 at the age of 38.

He only did the first three. Nicholas Hooper, who composes 5-6 left for the seventh film, because he wanted John Williams to 'finish what he started' But the douch-sucks at warner bros. got Alexandre Desplat instead, but john Williams may come back for part two of deathly hallows, since alexandre desplat didn't sign up for that movie

Because his operas were well known. Classical music was a near-universal pastime, both listening and playing, in European upper-class and middle-class circles in Mozart's time, in a way a pre-echo of pop music's universality these days.

Piano

Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 is more commonly known as the Emperor Concerto. The nickname of the concerto was not given by Beethoven, it was given by one Johann Baptist Cramer, a famous pianist who was from the same generation as Beethoven.

Johannes Brahms. By the way, the aiding was not all on their side. Brahms visited Robert during his final years in the asylum at Endenich, and was hugely supportive to Clara for the rest of her life (40 years after Robert's death).

This piece was composed and first performed c. 1715 in Frankfurt for the weekly Frauenstein concerts.
