Handel George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) is a famous British-German composer.

Born in Halle, Germany, he studied composition under the organist Zhahao, and later served as organist and art director in the church. Because of his love for secular music, he moved to Hamburg in 1703 - the only German city with national opera at that time, and began to engage in opera creation. In 1704, he composed his first opera, Almira, in Hamburg, which was a great success. In 1706, he traveled to Italy, where he wrote many operas, oratorios, and cantata, including the famous opera Agli. Agrippina. Handel moved to London in 1710, composing in Hamburg and London, and soon became an authority on British music. The 1711 opera Rinoldo was a huge success. With the financial support of the Duke of Chandos, he wrote the oratorio Esther and 11 Chandos hymns. He settled in England in 1717. In 1719, he received the support of the king and began to perform his operas at the Royal Academy of Music. This period included some of his most outstanding opera works: Leda Mistu, Giulio Cesare, Tamerlano, and Rodelinda. Became a British citizen in 1726.

His representative works include the orchestral music "Water Music", "Firework Music", the oratorio "Messiah", etc. "Hallelujah" in "Messiah" is the most widely circulated. Messiah premiered in 1742. He continued to compose oratorios at a rate of about two per year until 1751, when he had to give up because his eyesight was too poor. Famous works from 1742 to 1751 include Samson and Solomon.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

(Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 1756-1791)

In 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) was born in Salzburg. He showed his unparalleled musical talent since he was a child: he started playing the piano at the age of 3, started composing at the age of 6, and started composing at the age of 8. He wrote his first symphony at the age of 11, completed his first opera at the age of 11, and directed the orchestra to perform the opera at the age of 14. It can be said that Mozart was born for music. From the moment he was born, he was integrated with music.

At the age of 16, Mozart was appointed organist at the Salzburg court. Although Mozart created a large number of excellent works during this period, he could not stand the arbitrary bullying of the Archbishop of Salzburg. There, Mozart was just a servant who could play the piano. He once described to his father his companions at the palace dinner: two footmen, butler, pastry chef, two cooks, the footman sat in the upper seat, and Mozart sat in the seat. Ranked above the chef. Finally in 1781, Mozart broke away from his dependence on the archbishop, became the first free composer in history, and came to Vienna to develop. In Vienna, Mozart made a living teaching private students, performing concerts, and publishing works. During this period, Mozart came into contact with the works of Bach and Handel, and met Haydn, which enriched his musical ideas.

In Vienna, Mozart’s musical achievements were amazing. He once described his music creation in this way: “No matter how long the works are, they are all completed in my mind. I have already taken them out of my memory. Things are stored. So writing it down on paper is pretty fast, because everything is complete, and it looks exactly the same as I imagined it on paper, so I'm not afraid of being interrupted at work, no matter what. I can even write and talk at the same time." Poor such a genius, he died of a cold when he was in his prime. He was only 35 years old. On the last day of his life (December 9, 1971), he was still composing. Unfortunately, nature is jealous of talents. Mozart left his unfinished "Requiem" and passed away, becoming the biggest legend in the history of music. One of the regrets.

Fron Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

The famous Austrian composer and the earliest representative of the Viennese classical music school. He studied music under very difficult conditions since he was a child. In 1761, he worked as a music director in the house of Duke Esterhazy. The work was extremely heavy but his status was very low. However, he created a large number of works in a difficult environment, and by the early 1990s, he became the leading musician at that time. After two trips to London, he wrote twelve "London Symphonies", which were the best works in his life and became famous throughout Europe. His compositions cover a wide range of areas, among which symphonies and string quartets are the most outstanding. He fixed the symphony into the form of four movements and formed a complete symphony orchestra arrangement based on instrumentation, laying the foundation for the development of modern symphony.

His music has rich melodies and often reveals a simple and cheerful country atmosphere.

In the creation of quartets, the "principle of speaking" is often used, that is, the themes of each part echo each other like a conversation, with both clear melody and polyphonic beauty. In addition, he often used the "principle of theme utilization" in the development of music, which directly inspired Beethoven's "motive development" inspiration. Haydn is also the author of the current German national anthem.
