Firstly, Chill, I have to say I think you're cheating. No doubt you are supposed to do a bit of research here! Anyway I'm going to answer one or two because I'm a real classical snob and love showing off! (Only joking; Im not a show off, honest.)
Haydn's last symphony is his No. 104, the 'London' and it's in D Major
Mozart's music was catalogued by Ludwig von Kochel (1800 - 1877). On all Mozart's works you will find a number prefixed with the letter K; this is the Kochel Number. For example, Piano Concerto No. 27 in B Flat K595.
Why is Mozart considered the greatest musical genius of all time? Well, actually, not everyone would say that he was ( though I certainly would!). Some would would point to Bach, others to Beethoven. All three were not only very prolific in the composition of music of extraordinary beauty and power, they had an enormous influence on the music of composers who followed them. Each pushed forward bounderies and left the musical world vastly different than it was when they started out.
Instead of relying on patronage Mozart would have liked employment. Court Composer to the Emperor would have suited him nicely but the position was already held by Antonio Salieri, to the apparent satisfaction of the emperor.
The development which enabled Beethoven's music to performed throughout Europe is an odd question. Haydn and Mozart, before him, were also performed widely throughout Europe and also in America! The answer is probably the piano which underwent many developmental changes during Beethoven's lifetime. The famous Hamerklavier Sonata (don't trust my spelling of it!) was written taking advantage of a new piano built by Broadwood which provided loads more scope for Beethoven's inovative demands.
Every single one of Beethoven's nine symphonies was very, very significant and I can't think why the questioner should single out the 9th. For the first time the human voice was added to a symphony. The final movement is a setting of Schiller's Ode To Joy. Beethoven's deafness was a cruel affliction but it in no way affected his ability to compose.
The 9th was completed ... I think ... in 1824.
I hope some of this is useful to you.
Wow! U posted loadsa tough Qs dere!!!!
I can only answer veeeeery few of em (bt d 1s u cnt find, try using http://www.google.com or http://www.answers.com )
Do these Qs actually have anyfin 2 do wif ur write up or jst personal Qs dat popped up during d process?
Well, here goes nothing:
4. Mozart was considered the music genius of all times basically bcos he was a prodigy. He had the capability for music right when he was a kid. He could recite a piece prima-vista or if he'd only heard d piece once. He made d greatest impact in d history of music, bcos his talent was natural. He composed difficult pieces for instruments and oratorios,etc. already by d age of 12. U cn research more on dis.
1. 3. I dunno wot u mean by cataloq, bt if it is d era or time their lives and compositions fall under, this is it: Mozart and Haydn are under d Classical period (1770-1830)
11. The 9th symphony from Beethoven was a hit in their times (1700s). It wasnt just that he was deaf when he completed the piece, people considered it brilliant PLUS the fact that he was deaf.
hmmmm.... the answer the above poster posted for #11 and #4 are wrong.... there is something very significant about the 9th Symphony that would forever change the landscape of symphonic writing. It has nothing to do with him being deaf.
I will give you help but not the answers as you really should figure this stuff out yourself and try to understand what is going on.
Questions 1 and 3 - All composers have their music cataloged by a number. Bach used BWV which in short is Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis - Bach's Works Catalog. There is specific catologs for Haydn and Mozart
Questions 2 - find his last symphony and the key will be in the title
Question 4 - Very general and vague question. There are many things that make him a genius. You need to understand Mozart much more to make a valid conclusion on this.
Question 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 - Read up on Mozart. Find several Mozart biographies and deduce the information from here.
Question 12 - Find a Beethoven Biography and read. It may not be in his biography as this is more of a industrial development
