One of the three Viennese classics, a representative of late classicism Ludwig van Beethoven had a huge influence on Romantic music. Born in 1770 in Bonn, he had a difficult childhood. His father forcibly wanted to turn his son into a musical genius, so he enrolled him in piano lessons from an early age.
The word symphony comes from the Greek words syn- and phone, which the Greeks used to define concepts related to 'harmony'. Since the 18th century, this term began to be used in relation to a musical form mainly derived from the sonata, but also from the prelude, suite, and overture.
I first heard Fauré's Requiem when I was fourteen. At that time, my entire perception was focused on the creativity of one of the Viennese classics, the creator of the most famous mass of consolation - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
