its on music composers.i found some info but im not sure.
how many songs did mozart compose?
how about bach?
and handel?
and when did the mozart/beethoven era start?thanks =] thank you so much!
and also how many songs did beethoven compose? about the era 1830 Mozart Composed About 1,000 Pieces. As For Bach, No One Knows For Sure, But They Say It Was Over 1,000. Handel Composed Over 1,900 Songs.
The Era Was Between 1750 to 1820. "There are 138 pieces of music composed by Beethoven and numbered by himself or his publishers. These numbers are called Opus numbers.
There are also 205 works without opus numbers. They were published after Beethoven's death and were numbered with WoO numbers (Werke ohne Opuszahl - Works without Opus number)."
Also, a list of Mozart's works in the K枚chel Catalog: http://www.classical.net/music/composer/...
Good list of J.S. Bach's works:
http://www.jsbach.net/catalog/index.html In classical music they are called "pieces" not songs. Argh i dont know how many they each composed!!!
It is true however that Mozart and Beethoven's era was called the "Classical" era, which did theoretically go from 1750 (bach's death) to 1820 (beginning of the romantic era).
However, Beethoven is seen as one of the transitionaly composers (along with schubert aswell) his earlier pieces reflect the era of classical however his later ones no doubt start to vear into the romantic period.
Have fun doing your homework When i'm in trouble i go to a site called http://www.thepianoteachers.com/ where you can contact all kinds of teachers and wealth of knowledge banks concerning questions like these, that might help. These composers wrote many pieces, only a few of which were songs. Calling them "songs" shows the limitations of the pop mindset, as if all musical pieces are songs. They aren't.
The Bach catalogue has about 1100 pieces, give or take. Mozart composed 600-700 pieces. It's harder to answer for Handel because, as talented as he was, he actually plagiarized from other composers. The Entry of the Queen of Sheba, for example, is lifted almost note-for-note from Telemann's Concerto in F for 3 Violins & Orchestra.
There is no era called the "Mozart/Beethoven" era. Mozart was born in 1756; Beethoven in 1770. But Mozart matured as a composer much earlier than Beethoven, or virtually anyone else. Their vastly different upbringings may have had something to do with that. Regardless, Mozart began composing at around age six, and his most remarkable music began to appear in his teens. Beethoven published his first piece at age 11, but he was more famous as a pianist than a composer until his 30s, by which time Mozart was already dead. Mozart was definitely of the classical period. Beethoven's music bridges the classical and Romantic periods, which is generally acknowledged to have begun with the "Eroica" Symphony.
