Today's question is from @CCsGarden:

Who's your favorite NON modern composer(s)??

Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin.

How we defining 'modern'?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I guess maybe Mozart? The story (idk if it's true or not, but its still hilarious) of how he wrote a song just to mess with a singer he didn't like always makes me laugh

 

[Sally PB]

Beethoven!!!
And Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and so many more, but we'll stop there. If I list them all, I'll miss one, and then I'd feel bad.

But Beethoven gets the nod for favorite.

How we defining 'modern'?

"Are they dead?"



I dunno, Modernism is a classical composition movement that is typically attributed to starting circa 1890. Contemporary classical is usually defined as a date beginning in 1945 with the death of Anton Webern.

So It's really up to the individual responding I guess.

How we defining 'modern'?

According to what I remember from music history class, the five main periods are Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern, and Postmodern.

Baroque - 1600-1750
Classical - 1750 to around 1820
Romantic - 1820 to around 1920
Modern - 1920 to around 1980
Postmodern - 1980 - now

My favorite non modern composers: Bach, Beethoven, Haydn…there’s way too many to name .

I don't have one. You could play me one of their songs and I would have no idea who composed it. Or the name of it even
