Ludwig van Beethoven

Moonlight sonata was written by Beethoven when he was in love with princess Gulietta Guiccardi. He wrote it for her to get her to want to marry him, unfortunately, this didn't work!

It was originally called quasi un fantasia but a music critic said it sounded like moonlight reflecting off the river and so it was nicknamed moonlight.

I am learning about Beethoven for my abrsm diploma so if anyone has any help on the viva vocce section. I'm 13, so please use easy language!

He Didn't.

However, someone did attempt to kill 50 Cent.

his favourite city is the music city named "Vienna", because his hero Mozart lived there.

It is called Eroica symphony which real name is Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E flat major. It was completed in 1804.

cause its stupid.

It is unlikely, although he was known to be a relatively heavy drinker.

No. He began to lose his hearing when he was about 30.

Beethoven's Sonata, Opus 27, no. 2 has gained the name "Moonlight" because of the slow first movement. Beethoven himself didn't name it.

The Opera Faust was composed by Charles-Francois Gounod

His work is considered a bridge between classical and romantic styles.

The name "Moonlight" Sonata derives from an 1832 description of the first movement by music critic Ludwig Rellstab, who compared it to moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne. The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C minor "Quasi una fantasia" by Ludwig van Beethoven, popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata was completed in 1801 and it is rumored to be dedicated to his pupil, 17-year-old Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, with whom Beethoven was, or had been, in love.

I'm going to assume you mean Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. The most unifying factor of Beethoven's fifth is the cyclical nature of the multi-movement piece. It features a reoccuring motif that is rhythmic rather than melodic. The recognizable rhythm: short, short, short, long, is a rhythm that exists all throughout the symphony (which is very strange and at the time, unprecedented). Most movements of a symphony are not connected. Beethoven used his Fifth Symphony to bridge the gap between movements. In arguably every movement of the Fifth (a little less in the 2nd movement) one can hear this unifying rhythm that connects the symphony nicely.

I believe the form could be described as:

So, I would say yes.

Beethoven tragically never heard the premiere performance of what is arguably his greatest symphony. However he was able to compose the symphony by sawing off the legs of his piano so he could rest the side of his head on the top it and hear the vibrations.

Beethoven. He was a composer, the others were painters.

Not really - large is "slow".

Andante is "at an easy walking pace".

Beethoven was baptised on 17 December 1770. His date of birth was often given as 16 December, however this is not known with certainty; his family celebrated his birthday on that date, but there is no documentary evidence that his birth was actually on 16 December.

Mozart, then Haydn and Beethoven being slightly more romantic I would put him down last or not at all

They use the same instruments as all string quartets: two violins, one viola, and one cello.

It was written by Joseph Haydn in 1791.

The first movement is given in cut time, even it is the slowest movement of the work. The second movement is a cheerful Allegretto in 3/4 meter. The final stormy movement, Presto Agitato, is also in cut time.
