Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed The Marriage of Figaro. The play premiered at the Burgtheater in Vienna on May 1, 1786. Mozart directed the first two performances himself. Later performances were conducted by Joseph Weigl.

Giuseppe Verdi was born in the Classical era and he died a composer during the Romantic era, but he is considered to be a Romantic composer because the music that he wrote is symbolic of music of that era.

Bach's life span is from 1685-1750. He belongs to the Baroque era. In his later years, he try to specialize in his Baroque forms where other composers (including his sons) deviated from the Baroque culture to classical galant style.

In the romantic period, starting at the end of the classical period with the late Beethoven (see E. T. A. Hoffmann), the sonata form was used to be seen as formal and insufficient to express the wide range of emotions. Schubert, who admired Beethoven and his sonatas, composed many, but with the time the symphonic poems and other more free genres were preferred.

Still most symphonies used the sonata form, which has been evolved by composers like Mahler or later Berg to fulfil the new pretensions.

Cole Porter was married to Linda Lee Thomas from 1919-1954. Porter was a classically trained composer and songwriter who was born in 1891 and died in 1964.

Sergei Prokofiev died in Moscow in 1953, having returned permanently to the USSR from the west in 1935. His death - on March 5 1953 - was on the very same day that soviet dictator Joseph Stalin died.

Dvorak came to the US late in his life and spent about 2 years in New York and Idaho (or was it Iowa). His 9th symphony was inspired by his experiences here in the US and so it is nicknamed the New World Symphony.

That would be Matinee (1993) starring John Goodman.

It has been said that Haydn was so busy with his own work, composing such masterpieces as "The Creation," that he didn't take the time study and correct the exercises that he had assigned to Beethoven. But this opinion is based on the fact that only few of Haydn's corrections and comments are found on the exercises that have survived on paper. It is entirely possible that Haydn gave his comments to Beethoven verbally rather than in writing. So the charge that Haydn was negligent must be taken with a grain of salt. It should be remembered that Haydn and Beethoven had opposing temperaments and working habits. Haydn was always very orderly and neat, but Beethoven was disorganized and messy. Beethoven often seemed jealous of Haydn while Haydn was still active as a composer, offering Haydn due respect only after Haydn had been forced by advanced age into retirement.
