1, Bach (also my favorite)
Johann sebastian bach (German: johann sebastian bach, also translated as Bach,1685 march 21-1750 July 28), a German composer in the Baroque period, was an outstanding organ, violin and harpsichord player. Bach is generally regarded as one of the most important composers in the history of music, known as "the father of modern western music" and one of the most important figures in the history of western culture.
Bach was born in a musical family in Eisenach, a small town in Thuringia, central Germany. He was a famous court musician before his death, and spent most of his life in St. Thomas's Church in Leipzig, Germany, enjoying the same fame as composers Gandel and Teleman.
Although his music did not create a new style, his creation used rich German music style and skillful polyphony skills. His music combines the essence of baroque music style. However, due to the rapid change of music style to Rococo and classicism, Bach's polyphonic music is regarded as a stale thing, and its achievements have not been properly evaluated for a long time, and it is only called an organ player. Although great composers such as Mozart and Beethoven admired Bach's works, it was not until the Romantic era that the composer Schumann discovered Bach's passion in the library of Leipzig and was sung by the composer Mendelssohn at the concert that the music world was shocked. Since then, Mendelssohn has explored, sorted out and popularized his works. Through the joint efforts of several generations of musicians, Bach gradually gained today's lofty status. Bach Bach, Beethoven and Brahms are known as "3B" in the history of western music.
2. Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven (German: Ludwig van Beethoven,1770 65438+February17-1March 26th, 827) is a German classical music composer, a pioneer of romanticism, and also a performer and conductor. He composed 9 numbered symphonies, 35 piano sonatas (including the last 32 numbered sonatas), 65,438+00 violin sonatas, 65,438+06 string quartets, 65,438+0 operas, 2 mass, 65,438+0 oratorios and 3 oratorios, as well as a large number of chamber music and lyric songs. These works have a far-reaching influence on the development of music. In the Chinese world, Beethoven is revered as a musical saint.
3. Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 65438+1October 27th-179 1 65438+February 5th), born in Salzburg, is one of the greatest composers of classical music in Europe.
Mozart died young at the age of 35, leaving behind an important work that summed up all types of music at that time. According to contemporary research, he is undoubtedly an artist with great talent in piano and violin related creation. His concertos, symphonies, sonatas, serenades and suites have become the main forms of classical music. He is also an opera expert, and his achievements are immortal until today.
