Composing music is the art of writing music that can be played by other musicians.
Top 5 Composers:
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
- Johann Sebastian Bach
- Ludwig Van Beethoven
- Antonio Vivaldi
- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
I put Mozart at the top as my favorite composer because he is one of the greatest, most gifted composers of all time. He played the piano, violin, and viola. I find his music the most enjoyable as well. My favorite symphonies of his are the Jupiter symphony, a beautiful thirty minute song, and Serenade No. 6 in D Major.
I placed Johann Sebastian Bach at second because he is also one of many outstanding classical composers. He was an organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist, as well as a genius composer. My favorite song by Bach is Violin Concerto in A Minor. I gave Ludwig Van Beethoven third place because he is a little overrated in my opinion, although he is a great composer.
