 Ludwig van Beethoven. A facet of Beethoven's greatness
was the translation of idealism into music with daring musical innovation depicting
struggle and exaltive beauty. His favorite instrument, the piano, was the inspiration for
his profound collection of Thirty-Two Piano Sonatas. They divide into three groups that
follow the course of his deafness and consequent stylistic changes: first, the classical
style reflecting Mozart and Haydn; the second showed drama and maturity; the last were of
rare beauty and spiritual awareness.

![[Gilbert and Sullivan Archive]](_borders/gilbertsullivan.gif) These men collaborated to write the most
popular operettas in the history of the English theater. Their works included satires on
Victorian behavior and the British Empire. Gilbert, with a sharp and biting wit, wrote the
lyrics. His humorous ballads provided material for several operettas. Sullivan had a
sensitive nature and composed the clear and dramatic musical scores. Born in London, he
also composed the music for the Hymn, "Onward, Christian Soldiers" (1871) and
the song, "The Last Chord" (1877).
 The strength of Mozart's genius made him the most
universal composer the Western world has known. His was an independence of musical thought
expressed in melodies of exceptional beauty and lilting rhythms. Mozart's operas,
symphonies and string quartets contain a dramatic and emotional appeal and demonstrate his
gift for melodic flow.
Where professionalism, personal attention
and artistic integrity coexist.
