Presentation transcript:

Austrian Spent much of his life employed by the Esterhazy family Haydn’s works were closely influenced by late- Baroque music He often was inspired by fugue writing, and cleverly integrated it into classical style Haydn was also crucial in developing different forms of keyboard music Fantasy Sonata Form (Sonata Rondo Form) Themes and Variations

Austrian Child prodigy Began composing at age 5 He composed over 600 works Style Combination of Galant Style and Baroque complexity Galant Style= simpler music, homophonic, less ornamentation His style mirrored the progression of the Classical Period Demonstrated clarity, balance, transparency, and often delicacy

Born in Germany/ Died in Austria 5 Piano Concertos and 32 Piano Sonatas 16 string quartets and 9 symphonies Studied with Haydn You can see the influence of Haydn and the transition from Baroque music in Beethoven’s early works Counterpoint Clean, clear, and repetitive themes Crucial to the transition between Classical and Romantic music Known as the Father of Romanticism

First Period ( ) Concluding with Sonata Op. 24 Clearly influenced by Haydn, Mozart, and Clementi Not much experimentation with form and harmonic progression, at least in regards to Beethoven’s style Typically four movements Second Period ( ) Includes Moonlight Sonata (Op. 27 No.2) the Waldstein (Op. 53), and the Appassionata (Op. 57) Much experimentation Vast range of style and form 3 Movements Fast-Slow-Fast Sonata-Allegro Form

Third Period (1816-death) Started to lose his hearing Thirty-three Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli (Op. 120) Hammerklavier (Op.106) Started blurring the “lines” of movements Structure and form were obscured Gigantic pieces Much experimentation with thematic development
