Greatest Composers of All Time

Thanks for the clarification, Audiozen! To the subject of Mozart's piano concertos - one of the very underrated things about them is that they were actually used by him as laboratories of orchestration, particularly wind orchestration. His last symphonies and operas, etc. would not have been the masterworks they are without this type of experimentation.

I DO agree with you concerning the Emperor it is indeed majestic!

The one Composer that is alway's ignored for the pioneering technique's he developed in 1705 in Venice is Violinist Antonio Vivaldi. He invented a bowing technique that became the standard for the Violin that spread all over Europe resulting in a major evolution that took violin playing too a whole new level.

True, but the standing witticism about Vivaldi is that he wrote the same concerto 500 times.

Yeah...The Four Season's can get monotonous after awhile. Another Composer that deserve's attention from the same time period was Giovanni Sammartini who pioneered the structuring of the Concert Symphony. He wrote over eighty small scale symphonie's and influenced Bach and Haydn.
