composers

#A composer literally "one who puts together") is a musician who is an author of music in any form, including vocal music (for a singer or choir), instrumental music, electronic music, and music which combines multiple forms. A composer may create music in any music genre, including, for example, classical music, musical theatre, blues, folk music, jazz, and popular music. 

Composers often express their works in a written musical score using musical notation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Composer​s    I have of late getting to know classical composers from over the many centuries they have existed. we all know Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Debussy, Chopin, Brahms and a few others. 

 i been checking out other composers that are not known to me until here recently.

 names like Antonin Dvorak 1841-1904,bela Bartok 1881-1945, Richard Strauss 1864-1949,

Sergei prokofiev 1891-1953, Franz listz 1811-1886, Robert Schumann 1810-1865,  jean Sibelius 1865-1957,igor Stravinsky 1882-1971,  alexander  Scriabin 1872-1915. and so many others. I found a lot of theses composers did not have long lives and they still put out a lot of great music.

the composers from different countries and some of the oppression some of them had to go through

 you have to deeply respect theses composers the diseases and disabilities they had to suffer through. 

they didn't have the things we have today to make our lives easier.

 to hear their music being conducting and played today thanks to having their music preserved over the centuries for us today. 

 to hear great conductors today like Herbert von Karajan 1908-1989, Simon rattle, Claudio abbado 1933-2014,

Georg Solti 1912-1997 

Bernard haitink,  Daniel Barenboim to name a few. there has been several who has played theses different pieces from these composers over the years.

 Sarah chang has done great with her violin on several pieces from the likes of Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn and Sibelius to name a few.

 Zoltan Kocsis who played piano on works from Bartok and Rachmaninoff. 

Vladimir Ashkenazy who has done solo piano works on Chopin and Rachmaninov. 

Stefan veselka played piano works of dvorak.

Valentina lisitsa who played piano works of Tchaikovsky and Scriabin. to name a few.

 the above names also did other works i just named the ones that were on top of my head. i still love other types of music this just something different i wanted to see how early music was done and enjoy the work they put into their works. this has been a wonderful journey listening to this. my journey has not ended it is just beginning.
