The past 6 months or so, I have been lectured by one of my professors who knows almost EVERYTHING about classical music, the anatomy of movements, and everything. Prof. Maldenado was lecturing about the 3 giants during the Classical era, Hayden, Mozart, and Beethoven. Each bringing new things to the table. Beethoven died almost 200 years ago. His music which I have been studying for about half a year now really showed me how to appreciate it. The set up and perfection shaped our music today, mostly the Pop genre. He is truely a genius and ahead of his time. Creating the different forms and organization of a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd movement in the form of (ABA). Moonlight Sonata, a peice that creates overwhelming feelings but personally my favorite. Beautifully setup and organized.
Fun fact: Yoko Ono was playing this song on the piano one day and John Lennon told her, "Can you play this song backwards?" and what do you know. We have the song by The Beatles, "Because."
