Haydn is an important composer with great influence in the history of world music. He was the first representative of the Viennese classical music school and a composer with a creative spirit.

Later, he visited the UK and accepted a doctorate in music from Oxford University. He was influenced by Handel and Mozart, creating a melodious lyricism and a style similar to the Baroque. He replaced the piano with a string quartet and replaced the organ with an orchestra, creating two new forms of harmonious performance.

2. Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven (December 16, 1770 - March 26, 1827), was born in Germany Bonn, one of the representatives of the Vienna Classical School, a composer of the European Classical period.

Beethoven spent his childhood under the strict and harsh education of his father, which created his stubborn, sensitive and excited character. He settled in Vienna for the rest of his life at the age of 22. The Third Symphony, composed between 1803 and 1804, marked the mature stage of his creation.

In the following 20 years, his numerous musical works pushed classical music to its peak through strong artistic appeal and grandeur, and heralded the arrival of romantic music in the 19th century. Beethoven died in Vienna on March 26, 1827, at the age of 57.

Beethoven created a wide range of themes throughout his life, and his important works include 9 symphonies, 1 opera, 32 piano sonatas, 5 piano concertos, multiple orchestral overtures, and violin and cello sonatas.

Because of his significant contribution to classical music, his development and innovation of sonata form and symphony suite structure, he was honored by later generations as the "Music Saint" and the "King of Symphony"

3. Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (English: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, January 27, 1756 - December 5, 1791), was born in the Holy Salzburg during the Roman Empire, European classical music composer.

Mozart was willing to accept traditional musical forms and make clever use of them. 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 music.

The important works left by Mozart cover all types of music at that time. The concertos, symphonies, sonatas, serenades, and diversions he composed later became the main forms of classical music.

They were arty there and often fell asleep during the band's performance. Haydn was very angry when he found out, so he wrote this "Symphony of Surprise".

"Symphony No.3 in E flat major" (Op.55) , also known as "Eroica Symphony"), is a symphony composed by German composer Ludwig van Beethoven in 1804, Op. 55.
