Composers

yes he did he write music in the romantic time period. He wrote "here comes the bride" and many more.

Vivaldi was a naive of and worked in Venice, Italy.

The famous 18th century composer was called Franz Joseph Haydn. So Franz and Joseph are one and the same, although he is commonly known as Joseph Haydn.

They preferred tonic-dominant-tonic (I - V - I) harmony.

No, he did not have any children, although he had 2 wives.

his piano playing.

All of Beethoven's symphonies were given numbers as names. Some, however were given titles too. For example, the 3rd symphony was named the 'Eroica' Symphony and the 6th symphony was named the 'Pastoral' symphony.

One famous contemporary composer is Peter Schickele, who is the creator of PDQ Bach. His works are extremely witty, and some of them are brilliant. He is well worth a listen. I heard Schickele live at Connecticut College many years ago. He played many of his standards, and at one point his pianist assistant played the piano (flawlessly) in complete darkness. Nice effect, although I have long since forgotten how this tied in with the piece.

No, not even close. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in what is now Austria, and lived from 1765-1791.

Beethoven initially wrote in the Classical period, but provided the transition to the Romantic period.

The genres of music Beethoven composed were mainly piano sonatas, piano concertos and symphonies, along with other ensemble instrumental music such as trios and quartets, songs (lieder) and one opera.

You would say a piece of music was composed BY someone.

Discovering piano sounds

Chopin is unique in that he exclusively wrote for the piano - there are piano concertos in E and F minors with orchestra and pieces with piano and cello but always with piano present. He devoted his life to this instrument and brought out of it all new and varied colours previously unexplored.

He was polish and a lot of his homeland's folk music was written and extended into beautiful music - see his Mazurkas and Poloniases. His harmonies are instantly recognizable - to discuss this is a lifetime's study - but compare one of his pieces to his contemporaries Liszt, Mendelsohn and you will know instantly which are his.

He changed the technique of piano playing - using the thumb on the black keys, half-pedalling and soft-pedalling to create new effects, writing studies or etudes which rather than exercises are beautiful works of genius - no one had done this before. Czerny for all his good exercises - can you remember any of them - really? Chopin's are beautiful.

He adopted a rubato approach - a sense of extended time in his playing.

He was the poet of this instrument and has never been equalled by anybody - in my view Liszt's works are very advanced but lack the beauty of Chopin.

There is more - he extended the Nocturne form invented by John Field into a mastery of this form. Every work of his is a masterpiece - listen to all his music. He was fanatically obsessed with editing his woks often rewriting bars HUNDREDS of times to perfect them. In short, he is the true genius of the pianoforte and its beauty as an instrument and he never composed away from it because he had to hear how the notes etc. combined - paper writing wasn't good enough.

Franz Peter Schubert (January 31, 1797 - November 19, 1828) was an Austrian composer of the Classical / Romantic periods.

Nope.

He's Catholic nit christian. If you can see in many pictures and events he's wearing a rosarium.

"He's catholic nit christian" my reply to that is catholic is a type/denomination of christian, therefore he is christian.

Despite receiving treatment for throat cancer, Puccini died in Brussels, Belgium, in 1924.

Ahh... Franz Shubert! A favorite composer of mine. I am wondering, though, why you ask? Anyways, if you took the time to look it up, you would find that ten of his siblin gs died in infancy and five survived. Wikipedia was a big help!

The movie Amadeus falsely portrays Antonio Salieri as the commissioner of Mozart's Requiem. However, the real commissioner was an amateur musician named Franz von Walsegg, who had a habit of commissioning works by great composers, and then passing them off as his own. In this case, he was looking for a Requiem to say he wrote for his recently deceased wife.

his hobbies were bungee jumping, surfing the internet and, teleporting

There were many great composers who lived in the 1920ès. George Gerswin and Duke Ellington were two very important American composers from the 1920's.

Mozart considered chess a sport and loved it.

Vivaldi was a teacher at a girl's school.

No one really knows who "the best" composer is or was ... it's all quite subjective depending on whom one is talking to or about. Everyone has their own opinions, and there really is no one single definitive answer to this question.

If one had an in depth know how of music, one would realise that Beethoven and the other composers all followed the classical formula of music and none of them had the incredible moving emotional impact of William Camilleri's music.

William Camilleri not only composes great music but it changing the way of Classical Music as we know it and that is rare to say the least. I have been studying Classical music for over 30 years and I have never heard music like this.

i would say probably the age 9? cause im nine and i started singing iam in the midle of a contest!

Any age is a good time to start singing! I started when I was 4, I'm nearly 13 now and my voice is pretty good! And to the sweet little nine year old above me...not everyone's voice is perfect when they start singing! Keep that in mind! :D
