Romantic Music The Ideals Of Instrumental
860 wordsAt one point in the study of the Romantic period of music, we come upon the first of several apparently opposing conditions that plague all attempts to grasp the meaning of Romantic as applied to the music of the 19 th century.

Back To Vienna Ninth Symphony Beethoven
582 wordsBEETHOVEN Ludwig van Beethoven was born 1770 in Bonn Germany. His mother was a singer in the service; his father was a court musician that had little motivation and a drinking problem. His father noticed that Beethoven had a gift at a young age, and began teaching him piano and violin. But Beethoven was a hard learner, he was self-involved and impatient. This probably led to why he was a loner and why he only went to academic school for three years. Beethoven's father wasn't the only one who saw...

Piano Concerto Full Attention

Haydn's seventh piano concerto was written in the key of F Major, and is in incredibly chee...
