This began little Beethoven’s journey into becoming one of the world’s most celebrated composers to this day. Beethoven’s studies in music were very intense and would reduce him to tears at a young age. His father had Beethoven studying violin, keyboard, organ, and viola. Beethoven’s talents at an early age made him a child prodigy and his first public recital occurred in 1778 at seven years old, although the posters claimed he was only six. Beethoven began to establish his career when he moved to Vienna in 1792, and began studying with Joseph Hayden. He quickly established himself as a piano virtuoso and slowly became known as a composer. His career in composing became divided into three periods - early, middle, and late. Throughout these periods, Beethoven composed several staple pieces that have become staples in the world of classical music such as, Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13, commonly known as Sonata Pathétique, The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C minor "Quasi una fantasia," Op. 27, No. 2, popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata, and lastly, The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, also known as "The Choral." Beethoven’s career transitions from the Classical era and the Romantic era. Beethoven built on the principles of sonata form and motivic development that he had gained from Haydn and Mozart, but extended them, writing more determined and lengthier movements. The work of Beethoven's Middle period is celebrated for its frequently heroic expression, and the works of his Late period for their intellectual depth.His personal life was plagued by depression and turmoil. He later began to struggle with the loss of his hearing. Beethoven’s most notable works were composed during the last 10 years of his life, when he was unable to hear. He died in 1827 at the age of 56.Partita No. 2 in D minor  |  Johann Sebastian BachJohann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany, into a family of musicians. His exposure to music most likely occurred at a very young age from his father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, the director of the town’s musicians. Bach studied violin, harpsichord, and clavichord most likely from his family until age 10 when his parents passed away. His older brother Johann Christoph, a known organist, then took over the care of Bach. In the 1700’s, Bach found himself at a school in Lüneburg, where he began singing as a soprano, but later switched to violin and harpsichord. In 1703, Bach won the position as the organist at the court of the Duke Wilhelm Ernst in Weimar. This is where Bach wrote several notable works such as, "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor." Despite the court’s wishes, Bach left to Cöthen where he began to focus mainly on his instrumental works. These works included composing several sonatas for solo instruments, dance suites, and concertos for orchestras. As a tribute to the Duke of Brandenburg, Bach created a series of orchestra concertos, which became known as the "Brandenburg Concertos," in 1721, and also created a book titled The Well-Tempered Clavier, which is considered essential repertoire for pianists and organists. Since Bach had many private students, he created this series as a collection of several keyboard pieces that his students could learn specific techniques and methods.Bach was mainly known as an organist rather than a composer during his time. Today, however, he is a household name in any instrumentalist repertoire list, and his methods are constantly admired and studied by composers. Bach is also regarded as one of the best Baroque era composers. In his final years, Bach’s vision began to fail him and his death occurred on July 22nd, 1750, in Leipzig. Sonata in A Major for Violin and Piano  |  César FranckCésar Franck, also César-auguste Franck, was born in Liège, which then was a part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, to a bank clerk and his wife. As a very young child, Franck demonstrated musical gifts that enabled him to enter the Liège conservatory at the age of eight. A tour organized by his father had Franck land in Paris to show case his piano skills as a prodigy. In Paris, Franck studied with Bohemian composer Anton Reicha, then professor at the Paris Conservatory. Franck soon began attending the Paris Conservatory and in a year he had won a Grand Prix d’Honneur. However, for a brief moment, Franck left to Belgium which was a set back in his career. Followed by many performances and programs, Franck later returned to Paris where he was then appointed as the organ professor at the Paris Conservatory in 1872. As a composer, Franck fulfilled his potential only in the last 10 years of his life. His Symphony in D minor, Variations symphoniques, Piano Quintet in F minor, String Quartet in D Major, Sonata in A Major for Violin and Piano, and several organ pieces mark him as one the most notable French composers in the second half of the 19th century. His music is known for soaring, almost improvisatory melodic flights.about the musicianSusan Irais Reyes, native of Kennesaw, Georgia, is a music educator, performer, and photographer.
