It doesn't even scratch the surface of what these musical giants were and the musical moments are the most well known, most common place ones. It mentions stuff like "melody, harmony, counterpoint" without letting you know what it means by that.And while melody is commonly understood, harmony is more or less guessed, what counterpoint is, that's not common knowledge. Each and every one of the names mentioned is worth a lot more attention than that.

And there is also a term "Early music" which is music from time periods of medieval, renaissance and baroque.

When eminent biologist and author Lewis Thomas was asked what message he would choose to send from Earth into outer space in the Voyager spacecraft, he answered, "I would send the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach." After a pause, he added, "But that would be boasting."

Baroque is the name given to the artistic and cultural epoch during the 17th and partly 18th centuries. The epoch is universal, that is, it exists in music, visual arts, literature, etc. The period before the Baroque is called the Renaissance (15th-16th century), the period after that is the pre-classical and classical period (ca. 1730-1830). In a narrower sense, "classical music" refers to this period. In a broader sense, however, all epochs of "serious music". This is followed by romantic era and modernity. However, all epochs can be further subdivided.

Music to do unmentionable things to your wrist to

Beethoven was not born deaf. He was suffering from an illness that increasingly deprived him of the perception of sounds. Then, when he was almost deaf, he concentrated on composing music. While other composers wrote work after work, Beethoven wrestled with each note and had to keep touching it up until the symphony was complete. Magnus

Yes, the label „classical music“ is a bit confusing, because it does mean two things: On the one hand, when we talk about „classical music“ we mean European style art music (as „opposed“ or at least distinguished from „popular music“). Of course there is also Chinese or Indian classical music etc. But when we say „classical music“ we usually mean European style art music (European „style“ because ist doesn't just come from European composers; there are also American, Japanese etc. etc. composers who wrote and write classical music in the European style.) So „Classical music“ can mean European style art music from let's say the Renaissance up until today. Within Classical music there are different periods like Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern, Contemporary. What makes it a bit consfusing is the fact, that on the other hand, there's a „classical period“ WITHIN „Classical music“ - roughly ranging from about 1750 to the 1820s with composers like Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven or Schubert (while Beethoven and Schubert may also be considered as two of the pioneers of the „romantic period“, which followed after the classical period of Classical music).

I kinda miss Italian opera composers in that list - Verdi, Rossini, Puccini, at least someone. But can't agree more to the top 3.

Bach was sort of unknown in his lifetime in the 1700s, but his work was found 200 years later because of the utter genius of it. He was a master of, among other things, counterpoint, two different melodies playing at the same time that enhance each other in almost magical ways. Lots of songwriters of today borrow from Bach or admit that his music inspires them. I agree that he should be no 1.

Sound (including music) is merely the vibration of air. Whilst Beethoven GRADUALLY went deaf, he knew what an e flat sounded like. After he went completely deaf, his genius allowed him to string together sounds that he could "hear" in his head, and write it down. Whilst sitting at a piano, he could rest his head on the top of the piano and feel the vibrations, and knew what would work. What is just as remarkable is his amazing compositions when he was 12. A musical genius if ever there was one.

Bach is the giant who’s shoulders everyone else walks on.

I don't have a favorite I think, I like them all, I DO have a favorite piece I love to listen too though, it's from Mussorgsky and it's called "Pictures at an exhibition".

A concerto is a piece for a solo instrument with an orchestra accompanying it. The solo instrument (for example a violin or a piano) usually has a very difficult and virtuosic part.

Bach was first chronologically, inspiring all who followed. I recommend any of his five Brandenburg Concertos as easy to listen to gems, simple, but complex. A concerto by the way is a musical composition fearuring a solo instrument or group of instruments as the lead player. It would be listed as a flute concerto or a Trumpet concerto for example. When it comes to the musical form of counterpoint. Bach wrote the book. Literally. When I learned piano I used a book Bach wrote to teach his wife. beautiful short pieces in all the keys. A happy man with twenty children most turned up as musicians. Yes, it does bogle the mind to realize Beethoven was deaf when he wrote his most magnificent works. He heard his music inside his head, and put it on paper for the world to hear. He conducted his last symphony and had to be turned around to see the audience applauding. I disagree with the Mojo list.

Los conciertos de Brandemburgo de Bach de hecho fueron inspirados en los conciertos de Vivaldi. De hecho Bach hizo transcripciones de los conciertos del veneciano. Lo mismo hizo handel y telemann, .así que en teoría el primero fue Vivaldi.

Wagner's mythological works were performed in a purpose-built theatre that used all the most up-to-date 'special effects', where the stage could be in the clouds, underwater, or even transform in scale, to reveal what the Rhine maidens were doing down there, or how the Valkyries were flying up to Asgard.

Baroque was a style of architecture, art and music which started first around 1600 in Italy, at the end of the 30 Years' War (1618-1648) also in Germany and France. It superseded the Renaissance; regarding music it introduced the Concerto (instrumental music, often w/o vocals), introduced the chromatic system of Dur (=minor scale) and Moll (=major scale) and new instruments. It was followed by the Classical Period (1750-1825) and then the Romantic Period (1825-1900). 8:05 Chopin was born 1810 in the Duchy of Warsaw, a truncated Polish state founded by Napoleon (from regions which were occupied by Prussia, Austria and Russia since 1795) to a French father and an Polish mother. That Duchy became in 1815 "Congress Poland" ruled by the Russian Tsar as King of Poland. Chopin composed his first pieces in Warsaw, but emigrated in 1830 (for political and personal reasons) to France. He died in 1849 in Paris, probably of pericarditis aggravated by tuberculosis. 9:20 The picture shows stage tricks from his opera series "The Ring of the Nibelung", probably from the second opera, the Valkyrie (based on Norse mythology, where a Valkyrie (lit. chooser of the slain) was a warrior daughter of God Odin, which guided souls of dead brave warriors to Valhalla). Richard Wagner was not only much in Norse mythology, but also avowed anti-Semite, which made him (half a century after his death in 1883) a favorite of the Nazis. 10:55 That is not a piano, but a harpsichord or cembalo. A piano (or pianoforte) uses little hammers to struck the string, while a cembalo plucks them (like playing a harp). I like the sound, but it needs getting used to for our ears accustomed to modern sounds. 13:15 Beethoven was born in 1770 in Bonn, the residence of the Elector and Prince-Bishop of Cologne and Münster, who sent him 1786 to Vienna to learn composition with Mozart, but it is not documented if he ever met Mozart then. In July 1792 he met componist Joseph Haydn, an older friend of the then late Mozart, traveling back from a concert tour in England, who Invited him to Vienna. In November he went to Vienna to study with Haydn. He never went back to Bonn, since his alcoholic father died some weeks later, and in 1794 French troops occupied the Electorate. In Vienna he drank often cheap white wine, which was often sweetened with cheap lead acetate (lead sugar) instead of regular sugar. Long after his death his bones and hair were examined - at least at the time of his death he had extremely high lead levels. 14:55 Bach influences still to this day. Have e.g. a look at kzread.info/dash/bejne/qquNp85pm87Oo6g.html, kzread.info/dash/bejne/d3yMx6WxmcLSedo.html, kzread.info/dash/bejne/iaeLpbWFY5DAlMo.html, kzread.info/dash/bejne/on-NpbKkXa3An7g.html or simply kzread.info/dash/bejne/ga5lzrucY7HMn7A.html (Leipzig, Swinging Bach, presumably from the Bach Festival in the year 2000)

11:03 because this is not a Piano it is a Harpsichord. In a Piano the strings get hit by a hammer, in the Harpsichord they get plucked.

Chopin. The minute waltz. Oh, I just want to comment back 😂 *Very* good video!

Beethovan wrote his 5th symphony in response to learning he was going deaf. Hence the 4 notes are the knocking of fate at the door.

A deaf man making awesome music. Pure genius!😊

A definition of 'classical' music I like: 'music so good it's still performed hundreds of years later'. What is believed to be written music has been found on clay tablets dating back 4,000 years: 'The Hurrian Hymn', it's here on youtube. The time it comes from and the style are often named, 'medieval sacred music', 'plainsong', I particularly like the music played with Shakespeare plays, as they always ended with a 'Jig' or fun / comedy dance. The actor who invented some of these dances is the original 'nine day's wonder' as he, for publicity, danced for nine days from city to city in Britain back then. youtube has 'Shakespeare end of play jig' for example.

symphony nr 9 is the official european anthem btw

beethoven was not born deaf

11:57 - concerto - literally, a gathering [as in the word "concert" or "concerted"] - but in the periods being considered here normally means a 3-movement piece where there is one or more soloist instruments with orchestral accompaniment. This is to be contrasted with a symphony, which is a carefully-structured 4-movement work for full orchestra.

Most notable omission from the list is Franz Liszt, IMO. Maybe even Johann Strauss... but we can get only 10 in top 10 :)

The clanky piano is called a harpsichord - the strings are plucked rather than struck as on a piano.

The instrument on which "Mozart" played was not a piano, but a harpsichord, the strings are not struck by small hammers, but plucked.

Bach is usually considered the greatest, even if Beethoven or Mozart had more popular hits, because Bach was Beethoven's and Mozart's foundation. Without Bach who knows how music would even sound today. Regarding Beethoven's deafness: He was not deaf from birth, so he knew what music and different notes sound like. Try it yourself, you can probably also hum your favorite music just in your head. It's not that outlandish that a musical genius can compose just in his head.

Tchiachovsky, Beethoven and Bach have always been my favorites, but since I've been getting my 6 mo old to sleep with orchestrated music, I've really come to appreciate Vivaldi more. So has my son! He loves the Four Seasons! And Tchiachovsky's 1812 Overture. That's not even scratching the surface! I will say, though, Beethoven, specifically his 9th symphony, has my heart.

After the romantic period, there is the impressionistic and expressionistic periods leading into the modern era. Classical music and the visual arts such as painting and sculpture have followed similar phases throughout history.

Bach's Crab Canon is a short piece that can be played forwards or backwards. Or forwards and backwards at the same time with two instruments.

Beethoven was not always deaf, he started going deaf sometime in his 20s, but still composed amazing music after he went completely deaf right up to his death.

Ranking of composers is done in the video being reviewed, while the terminology Renaissance -> Baroque -> Classical -> Romantic, etc., are historical. And, yes, Bach is #1. “Compared to Bach, we all suck.” - Rick Beato

I like your observations. Fun video.

Classical, Baroque and Romantic were certain periods of time and cultural development in parts overlapping and the music created during these periods are by this classical, baroque or romantic respectively.

Baroque Era was in Italy/ France starting around 1600, in Germany after 30years war in 1650. It ended about 1740. Romantic Periode was about 1820 to 1848.

top 3 for me is mozart 3rd, beethoven 2nd and bach 1st. yes i think that my favourite composers is beethoven (as a calssical musician myself) but you cant beat bach THE master of tonality. hes almost like a god in the classical "world".

A concerto is a work with a small ensemble playing with a larger ensemble such as a full symphonic orchestra, or a soloist playing with a full orchestra.

A concerto is a music work for a lead instrument (piano, violin etc.) and orchestra and contains three parts, while a symphony is a piece for orchestra (without a lead instrument) and is usually made of four parts. A symphony can also sometimes include choir. In terms of who's better than whom, it's impossible for me to pick as there were many giants, each with his own major contribution.

The beginning of the musical Baroque period is marked by the introduction of the continuo in Claudio Monteverdi's compositions. The use of the continuous basso continuo characterizes Baroque music as well as the music of the subsequent transitional period, the Rococo. A possible further subdivision, but one that can only be considered approximate, is: Early Baroque (about 1600 to 1650), under Italian dominance; High Baroque (about 1650 to 1710), with significant French influences; Late Baroque (about 1710 to 1750), with a tendency to unify regional styles. Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel are often considered the consummators of the musical Baroque. Among the Bach sons and their circle, the so-called empfindsamer Stil (sensitive style) established itself as early as the 1730s, leading through the pre-classical period of the Mannheim School to the Viennese Classical period with Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Thanks for respecting the music and not immediately labeling it as "boring" like some would! If you want to explore classical music more, maybe react to some female composers and their life stories. Some of them are sadly almost forgotten and in general it was much more difficult for them to assert themselves, because composition was seen as a typically male profession.

@@Opuss55 yea pop music is basically "the same thing repeated for 3 minutes straight"-Eddy Chen

the three greatest composers - Bach, Beethoven & Haendel, although I personally also like Frederick II. of Prussia - yes he wrote his own compositions for the flute which he played on orchestra evenings at Sanssouci, and since he invented the sub-style of frederican rokoko in architecture, he could be seen as a rokoko composer

You should definitely go to an orchestral concert. They are not that expensive and an amazing experience 👍

So it’s my time lol i’ve made 3 playlists for people wanting to go into classical and who don’t really know how to start :) Enjoy ! -Playlist 1 : kzread.info/head/PLmSzftHmGc7PqG_b1-7zcNCaNDxw-ymHS -Playlist 2 : kzread.info/head/PLmSzftHmGc7My2RiEaSW6W4M38Oq-kedq -Playlist 3 : kzread.info/head/PLmSzftHmGc7Nxi3hrNtlqb9IKKRIgAQqf (one playlist is classified in chronological order, the performances are taken from other youtube videos) side note : baroque, classical, romantic are not genre but refers to different time period (given here in chronological order). 6:12 good question, it goes back to the time of the King of France Louis XIV, "the Sun King". The wig had already existed prior to Louis XVI (in England especially) but it started becoming "trendy" for the European nobility only during his reign.

I highly recommend you listen to Jacques Loussier he's a jazz musician and he adapted a lot of classical music in jazz. My favourite is the four seasons from Vivaldi in jazz .. simply beautiful.

You definitely know Brahms' Lullaby. It is THE Lullaby. Great video my friend!

Bro you’re so cool wtf! This content is so top tier, please keep it up!!

When you covered Wagner, the "elevated lady" may have been portraying a Valkyrie from Germanic mythology.

my top 3 composers are dvorak, beethoven, vivaldi

Bach is regardes as the biggest Music Genius of all time.

Many composers of all those periods would say: „I would not be here without Johann Sebastian Bach“ btw the Bach family was huge. Ancestors as well as descendants of J.S.Bach were artist, many musicians. I just learnt the family did not die out,. Philip Frederik Bach (1928-2008), Pianist, Organist also built pianos and organs, was born on Rochester, Minnesota. He was the great-great-grandson of Johann Friedrich Nikolaus Bach who immigrate to the US in 1848. Though Philip Frederik Bach was probably on e of the last who came from a paternal lineage and actually name bearer. The serving eight descendants are not Bachs by name.

We actually know a lot about Beethoven because he was deaf. This is because he would communicate with his friends and others in conversation books where he would write something to them and they would write something back. Some of these conversation books apparently still exist. We also have to be extremely grateful to Beethoven because when he realised he was going completely deaf he had very severe suicidal thoughts but he courageously decided to stay alive and get down all his musical ideas on manuscript (or certainly a great many of them. Apparently he was making plans for a tenth symphony)

BACH, Johann Sebastian Bach is the Master of all the composers! Beethoven said about Bach: "That man shouldn't be named Bach (which is 'Stream' in German) but Meer! (Meer is 'Sea' in German)

I would like to see Dvořák or Smetana from the Czech Republic, because they were and are quite famous abroad, especially Dvořák, I think he even lived in the US for a while and this year, like cover on his sympohinies was nominated for a Grammy. Not that I would put them hight on that list, but I was hoping like 10, 9, or 8th place maybe

my goal is to end up in an orchestra too and travel around the world since years ago and now i'm learning the violin and flute and having a recital in a few months ~_~ my family wants me to learn the piano too because i come from a family of pianists but its hard for me

i heard a story about beethoven on his edge being able to feel the vibrations over the piano and figure out what was coming out of it. but what helped a lot was the fact he got deaf in early adult years and studied like crazy on his childhood and teenage, since his father was a bit of a drill sargent about him and the piano

Nobody outshines Beethoven.

I loved your reaction to Haendel Messiha’s Alleluia ! May I suggest ? Bach : aria (suite 3) and Badinerie (suite 2) Beethoven : second movement of 7th symphony Mozart : Ave Verum Haendel : Water Music Tchaikovsky : concerto for piano Schubert : Musical moment 3 and Winterreise Gute Nacht Vivaldi : concerto for piccolo in C major (RV443) There’s a good way to put a name on a classic you like : classical music quiz on KZread, you hear 20 seconds of the music (it’s enough) and they give the name - do it with paper and pen ! Salute from France 🇫🇷

You are so smart and have great ears and correct. The reason the Harpsichord was as you say not sound in tune, is because they weren't as close as a modern piano is. When they developed Well Temperment tuning in the 1600's it was a vast improvement, I don't know the actual system of physics behind it - but they came really close and one of your favs Bach even wrote two books celebrating it, called the Well Tempered Book 1 and 2, meaning each book had a prelude and fugue in each of the 16 major and minor keys, A a B b C c D d E e F f G g.

The wigs can be compared to Roman togas, only to be worn on occasions that are "fancy or prolific".

Du bist soooo süß.... du reagierst wunderbar, emotional und erstaunt!

Love your enthusiasm.👍

Bach is definitely the GOAT. He's underrated by the general public, but any musician will tell you the same thing.

10:30 It's not a piano, its a harpsichord. It's meant to sound clanky because it was a rhythm instrument for the bass continuo which was a big deal in the baroque era.

The instrument that Mozart was playing is Called a Harpsichord. A Piano makes sound by having a Key attached to a small Hammer HIT the String. The Harpsichord you hit a key that is attached to a " L " Shaped or two Fingers Pinching a String, Plucking it.

1) Bach (most of all) 2) Handel 3) Mozart 4) Vivaldi 5) Tchaikovsky

I agree this top 3. Think about how many popular musicians were influenced by classical music. How many songs were based on a classical piece of music?

If you can fin a video listing 20th Century composers, that would be awesome because it will include Elgar and Greig

It sure would.

Fur Elise ( "for Alice") was dedicated to a serving girl at Beethovens local eatery

The bit underneath is the era i.e. Baroque, Classical, Romantic or 20th Cent…

classical (lower case) is the music genre, the 4 above are time periods within classical music

In my humble opinion Bach's Well Tempered Clavier, Goldberg Variations, French Suites, English Suites, Partitas, Cello Suites, etc are without any equal in all music. Bach number 1 followed a long way behind by Beethoven & Mozart.

classical music put simplistically refers to music written in an traditional, more formal way. A symphony is a longer piece of music for an orchestra. A sonata is usually for a soloist with some other instruments while a concerto is for a soloist but with the orchestra. Every year in the UK, we have a season of concerts for classical music (with occasionally some jazz or show music) that is known as 'the Proms'. If you like classical music it is great. There are loads of great classical composers that were not in this list of course. But love your reaction to the introduction to classical. To kill two birds with one stone, go to the ballet (the Nutcracker [Tchaikovsky] is a really easy introduction for example) where you will get to hear both traditional classical music and modern classical music while watching another art form in the dance.

I wish they had put more recognizable Chopin music to the background for him. He's my favorite but for a video like that I feel Nocturne Op9 no2 or Etude Op10 no3, Fantasie Impromptu, maybe a splash of Winter Wind Etude.

favour will you react to Poland's history, please?
