Greatest Composers of All Time

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.

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

But it's a really good concerto!
