MUSIC HISTORY (Neo-Classical Era)
Ludwig van Beethoven (
/ˈlʊ dvɪ ɡ væn ˈbeɪ t.hoʊ və n/; German pronunciation: [ˈluːtvɪ ç fan
ˈbeːt.hoːfən] ( listen); baptized 17 December 1770[1] – 26 March 1827) was a German[2] composer and pianist. A
crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the
most famous and influential of all composers.
Born in Bonn, then the capital of the Electorate of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire, Beethoven moved to
Vienna in his early 20s, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. His hearing
began to deteriorate in his late twenties, yet he continued to compose, conduct, and perform, even after becoming
completely deaf.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (German: [ˈvɔ lfɡ aŋ amaˈdeus ˈmoːtsaʁ t], 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, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical
composers.
PIANO TECHNIQUE (Primary technical studies: The Virtuoso Pianist (Le Piano virtuose) by
Charles-Louis Hanon, is a compilation of sixty exercises meant to train the pianist in speed,
precision, agility, and strength of all of the fingers and flexibility in the wrists. First published in
Boulogne, in 1873, The Virtuoso Pianist is Hanon's most well-known work, and is still widely
used by piano instructors and pupils.

influence on subsequent Western art music is profound.
