Who Are The Worlds Best Classical Composers?

Who do you think are the best classical composers?


The New York Times wrote a series of articles about some of the best composers that there are. What they did is they made a list of composers who are the most popular. In the article the authors wrote about the composers Bach and Handel. The New York Times wrote when the composers were born and when they died. They also wrote which period the composers lived in. They talked about Bach's style and how he used harmonies and melodies. Then, they started talking about Handel's style and how he used harmonies and melodies. The photo is a photo of Handel's score of "Messiah."

It is very hard to name the top ten composers that you like the best. I would say that the top ten composers are following. You can also read my personal view on why these composers are interesting to me.

• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Mozart is good at changing the mood of the listener.)
• Ludvig Van Beethoven (He has very strong and crazy melodies. Not all of them are crazy, like the first movement of "The Moonlight Sonata." But the third movement is crazy!)
• Johann Sebastian Bach (He has very joyful and happy melodies.)
• Robert Schumann (I have no idea why I like his music.)
• Franz Schubert (He has calming and peaceful melodies, like Stanchen.)
• Joseph Hayden (He has typical " Classical" music. You can't mistake his music with that of someone else.)
• Eric Alfred Leslie Satie (His music is repetitive, but the melodies are awesome.)
• Aram Khachaturian (His music is very dissonant and melodic at the same time. That is why I like his pieces, they are weird and normal at the same time.)
• Giuseppe Verdi (This guy loved tragedies. I love his opera "Il Trovatore.")
•  Antonio Salieri (I do not like Salieri. I didn't even know he was a composer until I accidentally heard his name somewhere.)

If you look up Romeo and Juliet, it will open the play. And so it is with all the other books you look up. All you have to do is to go to google.com. If you need to look up something, go to Google Books and you can read the first chapter or the whole book.

Review of the book The Pigman

The Pigman is a story about a boy name John and a girl named Lorraine. John and Lorraine were once with other teenagers named Norton and Dennis and make prank calls. But the game was to call a random person and try to keep the person on the phone the longest. When it was Lorraine's turn, she picked Angelo Pignati. When she was on the phone with Angelo Pignati, she said she was from a fundraiser called the L&J fund. When they came to Mr. Pignati's house they say they came to collect money from the L&J fund. Mr. Pignati welcomed them in and wrote a check for 10 dollars. When they left Lorraine felt sorry for stealing from the old man. Lorraine and John started coming back to Mr. Pignati's house and spent more time with him. The reason Mr. Pignati is called the Pigman because his wife collected fake pigs.

I didn't really like this book, but it was okay. I would recommend it to people from the ages ten to fourteen or if you like pigs.

You can read this story on Google Books. Google Books is a website that allows you to read books. It is useful for students in high school or college because you can find different books for reading and research, especially when getting information for footnotes.
