B. Music
Composers and their life
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
A child prodigy and one of music's greatest treasures. He rose to fame quickly and
spectacularly, but it overtook him, and the composer died young.

Johannes Brahms
Grumbling, bearded, and portly, Brahms's rigidly traditional approach to music
defied the new techniques that arose in the 19th century. Beautiful and complex, his
work immortalized him as one of the greatest figures in classical music.

Gustav Mahler
One of the last, and grandest, Romantic-era maestros, this conductor-composer
opened up whole new sound worlds for his listeners with his lavish and enormous
symphonies and song cycles

Maurice Ravel
Precisely crafting and polishing his works, Ravel developed a reputation as a
masterful orchestrator and musical trendsetter. His pieces have a very distinctive
quality which makes them extremely recognizable.

Franz Schubert
An Austrian prodigy with an immense talent for catchy melodies, Schubert
relentlessly churned out beautiful, lyrical pieces hoping to achieve success, but
never quite got there.

Sergei Rachmaninof
Large-handed Rachmaninoff's fame came from his formidable piano skills, which he
drew upon to create mind-meltingly opulent concertos and etudes.

Mily Balakirev
Leader of the Russian composer circle nicknamed "The Five", Balakirev was less of a
composer and more of a mentor to the younger generation. His influence defined
and grew Russian music until its reputation was on par with Europe's offerings.

Claude Debussy
Debussy's luxurious, velvety music completely ignored all the traditional
composition rules. He had an urge to hide from the world and wrap himself in exotic
and extravagant comforts.

Arts.
Characteristics of Renaissance Arts
Renaissance paintings were much more realistic than earlier works, using
techniques like perspective and foreshortening to create an illusion of three
dimensions.
Painters created new oil paint blends, allowing the innovation of oil-on-canvas, an
easier medium to work with than wet plaster.
Throughout the Renaissance, artists applied the disciplines of science and math to
improve old techniques.
Sculptors rediscovered classical techniques and created their own innovations

for more realistic works

Characteristics of Baroque Arts
Baroque art manifested in Europe during the 17th century. Baroque painters wanted
to create emotion through their artwork in dramatic ways. This type of art is
associated with the cultural movement between the Catholic revival and the
counter reformation. Those who wanted to reform belonged to the Protestant
movement and believed in personal self-determination.
Church authorities used religious artwork to display Catholic theological dogma
while reformers supported decorative artwork.
A common theme artists used during the Baroque period was divine figures
intervening on earth. These scenes were described as miraculous and were
intended to be emotionally persuasive to their viewers.
