Ｅｒｉｃ Ｓａｔｉｅ

　Eric Satie is composer born in France. He is often called “eccentric of music scene” or “heretic of music scene” but his achievements have a lot effects to western music. Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel are influenced by his works. His style is impressionism, so he was not watched in those days. But he was watched by Ravel and others in 20^th century, his works became to be acclaimed .

His is famous of funny names of his works. For example, Bureaucratic sonatine” ,”Flabby prelude for a dog” ,”Three short pieces in shape of a pear” , ”Dried fish of an embryo” and ”Fanfare for waking the king of the monkeys), for 2 trumpets.”

And, his music is called “music of furniture.” He intend to make music like back ground music because it is important factor for him who often plays at bar to play not marked like future. “Gymnopedie” and “Gnosiennes” indicate his unique style.

Ｆｒｅｄｅｒｉｃ Ｃｈｏｐｉｎ

Frederic Chopin is main composer in early romantic music. He is born at Poland. The most of his pieces is a piano solo, so he is often called “a poet of piano.” He wrote a lot of piano soli and a lot of pianist (amateur and professional) like to play his music today. His main are Nocturne in E flat major, 12 etude op.10-3 E major, 12 etude op.10-12 C minor, fantasie in F minor, heroic poronaize, fantaisie-impromptu in C sharp minor.

They say Chopin is weak but his pieces are not only delicate, his pieces are sometimes also powerful. A etude “revolution”, prelude in D minor(op.24-28) and scherzo in B minor is powerful and passionate pieces. They are written during Revolution Warsaw because he like his country Poland in those days Poland is dominated by Russia. He want to fight as soldier but he is not allowed because he is weak. So, he decided to describe his passion in piano.

He likes his country Poland very much. In 1831 he moved to Paris, but he always feel nostalgia. Therefore he have a strong rebellious spirit to the great powers that dominate Poland.

W.A.Mozart

In first post I'll write about W.A.mozart. He is the most famous composer over the world. He is born in 1791 at Salzburg. He wrote a lot of symphonies, concerts and sonates, they are sumed up more 700　before he died in 35 old. He can compose quickly. His main works are symphony No.40,41,39,38,25, concert for piano No.20, The marrige of Figaro and The magic flute. I like symphony No.41 and concert for bassoon most. The concert for bassonn is not famous, but this music is very nice music because this concert is said the best concert for bassoon. This concert makes use of the abiity of bassoon Maximumly.
