Famous pianists

Mozart was a very prolific and influential classical composer and musician who produced over 800 works in his time. He is considered a rare musical genius mainly due to his ability to write complex symphonies and operas at as early as age four, and staying at this high level throughout his life. Mozart is widely considered to have had a very substantial role in defining the classical style as we know it today.

Ludwig Van Beethoven was another highly influential pianist and composer. Beethoven wrote roughly 722 works over his 45 year career spanning across piano pieces and also a few symphonies. One of the most impresive parts of Beethovens career is that at age 28 he started to lose his hearing and was completely deaf through the last 10 years of his career. Despite this however, Beethoven wrote some of his most recognizable works in this time such as moonlight sonata by purely relying on his musical memory and remembering how the notes sound together.

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer, organist, violinist, and pianist who was alive during the Baroque period. his work largely consisted of an inovative use of counterpoint and adaptions of foreign rhythms which significantly influencedthe development of early clasical music. Bach composed many organ, keyboard, and choral works in his 40 year career.
