You're most like Beethoven!
You're most like Beethoven!
At seven years old, Beethoven gave his first public performance in Germany as a virtuoso pianist. By the age of 12, he published nine variations in C minor for the piano. He quickly became admired by many aristocrats in Vienna. It’s often said that his tremendous talent made up for his “terrible temper.”
Beethoven spent his entire life composing beautiful works, even despite losing his hearing. He was able to make a living performing and commissioning public works.
He also took on many music students, (whom he often became romantically involved with). Many consider the “Missa Solemnis” to be Beethoven’s greatest work.

Chopin is considered to be the greatest composer of Poland and the greatest pianist of the Romantic era. After growing up as a child prodigy, he quickly rose to fame in Europe. He performed and composed for piano alone, and accompaniments.
Chopin was very innovative in his piano technique, fingering, and melodies. He became a popular teacher, and as he grew older he actually began to dislike public performances.
Chopin's etudes and mazurkas have stood the test of time. After losing a battle to tuberculosis, his heart was placed in an urn in the Holy Cross Church of Krakowskie Przedmiscie.

Mozart was regarded as the most influential composer of the Classical era. He had a reputation for not being well behaved in public, and was also known for his daring style and sense of humor.
Mozart came from a family of musicians in Austria and his parents pushed him to greatness. His music was marked by its harmonic innovation which he demonstrated in piano, violin, and orchestral compositions.
His operas “The Magic Flute,” “Don Giovanni,” and “The Marriage of Figaro” are still widely performed today. Mozart influenced many composers to follow including Haydn and Handel.
You're most like Bach!
You're most like Bach!
Bach spent most of his life performing and composing in Germany. He was highly skilled at playing the organ at a young age.
Bach came from a family of musicians and played for many people of noble stature, including royalty. He had an excellent reputation as a performer and also experimented with religious compositions of the Catholic mass, including the Kyrie and Gloria.
His compositions, such as “Ave Maria” and “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor,” gained notable popularity over the years. However, few of Bach’s works were published during his lifetime. He suffered major health issues at the end of his life including blindness. Bach is considered to be the best composer of the Baroque era.
