What is It

COMPOSERS OF THE CLASSICAL PERIOD

FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809)

Franz Joseph Haydn is one of the most prominent composers of the classical period.
His life is described as a “rags-to-riches” story. He came from a poor family and his
music led to his rise in social status. He was hired by rich patrons and eventually
became a musical director for the Esterhazy family for 30 years.
His music reflects his character and personality: mainly calm, balanced, serious but
with touches of humor. He was able to compose over 100 symphonies and developed
them into long forms for a large orchestra. He was named, “Father of the Symphony”
although he excelled in every music genre of the period. Most of his symphonies have
nicknames such as the “Surprise Symphony”, “The Clock”, “The Military”. He also
wrote chamber piano music and choral works.

 WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a child prodigy and the most amazing genius in musical
history. At age five, he was already playing the violin and the harpsichord; at six, he
was recognized as an exceptional pianist and, at seven, he was already composing
excellent music. At age thirteen, he had written sonatas, concertos, symphonies,
religious works, and operas and operettas.

He experimented in all kinds of music and composed over 700 works. Unfortunately,
due to mismanaged finances he lived his life in poverty, died young and was buried
in an unknown grave. He composed wonderful concertos, symphonies and opera
such as “The Marriage of Figaro” (1786), “Don Giovanni (1789), and “The Magic Flute”
which became popular. Other known works: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Symphony No.
40 in G Major, and Sonata No. 11 in A Major K311.
