Musica Clasica

Ludwig van Beethoven nota 1 (Bonn, Holy Roman Empire, 16 December 1770nota 2 - Vienna, Austrian Empire, March 26, 1827) was a composer, conductor and pianist German. His musical legacy includes, chronologically, from the classical period until the beginning of musical Romanticism. 
Considered the last great representative of Viennese classicism (after Christoph Willibald Gluck, Joseph Haydn andWolfgang Amadeus Mozart), Beethoven managed to transcend the music of Romanticism, influencing diversity of musical works of the nineteenth century. His art was expressed in many genres and even symphonies were the main source of his international popularity, its impact turned out to be significant mainly in his works for piano and chamber music. 
His output includes piano gender (thirty-twosonatas for piano), chamber (sixteen string quartets, trios, seven, ten sonatas for violin and piano), vocal (lieder and opera, Fidelio), concertante (five piano concertos and orchestra, one for violin and orchestra) and orchestra (nine symphonies, overtures, etc..), among which is the cycle of nine symphonies, including the Third Symphony, also called Eroica, note 3 in E ♭ major, the Fifth Symphonyin C minor and the Ninth Symphony in D minor (the fourth movement is based on the Ode to Joy, written by Friedrich von Schiller in 1785).

Franz Joseph Haydn (31 March[1] 1732 – 31 May 1809), known as Joseph Haydn (German pronunciation: [ˈjoːzɛf ˈhaɪdən]; English: /ˈdʒoʊzəf ˈhaɪdən/), was an Austrian[2] composer, one of the most prolific and prominent composers of the Classical period. He isoften called the "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet" because of his important contributions to these forms. He was also instrumental in the development of the piano trio and in the evolution of sonata form.[3][4]
A lifelong resident of Austria, Haydn spent much of his career as a court musician for the wealthy Esterházy family on their remote estate. Isolated from othercomposers and trends in music until the later part of his long life, he was, as he put it, "forced to become original".[5] At the time of his death, he was one of the most celebrated composers in Europe.[6]
Joseph Haydn was the brother of Michael Haydn, himself a highly regarded composer, and Johann Evangelist Haydn, a tenor. He was also a close friend of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and a teacher of Ludwigvan Beethoven.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (German: [ˈvɔlfɡaŋ amaˈdeus ˈmoːtsaʁt], English see fn.),[1] baptismal name Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart[2] (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic,and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers.
Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly.While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of Mozart's death. The circumstances of his early death havebeen much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons.
Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed a brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate. His influence on subsequent Western art music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote that...
