Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart was born in Salzburg in 1756 and was a hugely influential composer of the Classical era. He began composing music at the aged of 5 and was a child prodigy. Mozart was also extremely competent on the keyboard and violin. He composed over 600 works including symphonies, chamber works, operas, and keyboard works amongst a huge array of other works. Mozart composed works for flute including a concerto for flute and harp, a concerto in G Major and D Major, an Andante in C and flute & string quartets.
Bizet-Composer
French composer Georges Bizet, stands as one of the most gifted musicians of the 19th century, best known for his operas in a career sadly cut short by his early death. Bizet achieved the most success with his final work, Carmen, which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire.
Christoph Willibald (Ritter von) Gluck-Composer
German composer, Christoph Willibald (Ritter von) Gluck (1714-1787) was a composer of Italian and French opera in the early classical period. He was best known for his operatic works such as ‘Orfeo ed Euridice’ and also wrote ballets, sinfonias, a flute concerto, violin concerto, trio sonatas, songs and sacred vocal works.
Around 1735, he studied composition with Italian organist and composer Giovanni Battista Sammartini. During this four-year period of study, he learnt the new Italian compositional writing style for instrumental music. By 1745, Gluck was well-known as an operatic composer.
