Franz Joseph Haydn (1732march31-1809may31), also known as Hayden, Haidian and Ding Kai, was the founder of the Viennese classical music school and the father of the symphony, and was born in the scenic village of Lolao near the Hungarian border in southern Austria.

Haydn is an important composer with great influence in the history of world music. He is the first representative of Vienna Classical Music School and a composer with creative spirit.

Haydn's music is humorous and lively, which contains religious detachment. He developed sonata form from piano to string ensemble. He is the founder of instrumental melody, completely absorbing the independent part of traditional counterpoint, and independently developing the theme.

Later, he visited Britain and received a doctorate in music from Oxford University. Influenced by Gandel and Mozart, he produced a lyrical and baroque style with beautiful melody. He replaced the piano with a string quartet and the organ with an orchestra, creating two new forms of harmonious performance.

2. Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 65438+February16-65438+March 26th, 20827), born in Bonn, Germany, is one of the representatives of the Viennese classical music school and a composer in the European classicism period.

Beethoven spent his childhood under his father's strict education, which made him stubborn, sensitive and excited. At the age of 22, he began to live in Vienna. The third symphony was composed between 1803 and 1804, which marked the maturity of his creation.

In the following 20 years, a large number of his music works pushed classical music to the peak through strong artistic appeal and grand charm, and predicted the arrival of romantic music in the19th century. 1827 On March 26th, Beethoven died in Vienna at the age of 57.

Beethoven wrote a wide range of themes in his life, including 9 symphonies,/kloc-0 operas, 32 piano sonatas, 5 piano concertos, many orchestral overtures, violin and cello sonatas.

Because of its great contribution to classical music, the development and innovation of sonata form and symphony suite structure, it is called "the saint of music" and "the king of symphony" by later generations.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (English: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,1756 65438+1October 27th-179165438+February 5th) was born in Salzburg, and is a European classical music composer.

Mozart is willing to accept the traditional music form and use it skillfully. His importance in the history of music lies in reshaping and defining classical music, which is different from Bach's balanced perfection and Beethoven's unruly.

Mozart's important works summed up all the music types at that time. His concertos, symphonies, sonatas, serenades and suites later became the main forms of classical music.
