Classical music is a term that is often misused. In the music world, "classical music" refers to music from about 1720-1800. To most people, classical music is stuff with strings that sounds boring. So technically there are no more "classical" composers. Most of them died back in the 1800's. Different styles of music are popular in different time periods. So the "Classical" style of music isnt really popular right now. There are still a lot of modern composers that compose for wind bands and orchestras though. Some good wind band composers right now are Eric Whitacre, David Holsinger, David Maslanka and many many more! They would be considered 20th or 21st century composers though! But their music is still beautiful! Check them out!

That's too broad a question to be answered here. My advice; get the facts on the History of Literature from a reputable source (or Wikipedia if you're pressed for time) and draw your own conclusion about how literature has evolved over the years.

Classical is a period of music. Most people abuse the term to mean all music that is orchestral. But there are names for each period that include specific composers.

Beethoven, Ludwig van \n \n \n (lŭd´wĭg văn bā´tōvn, Ger. lt´vĭkh fän bāt´hōfn) , 1770—1827, German composer. He is universally recognized as one of the greatest composers of the Western European music tradition. Beethoven's work crowned the classical period and also effectively initiated the romantic era in music. He is one of the few artists who genuinely may be considered revolutionary.\n\nLife\n\nBorn in Bonn, Beethoven showed remarkable talent at an early age. His father, a court musician, subjected him to a brutal regimen, hoping to exploit him as a child prodigy. While this plan did not succeed, young Beethoven's gifts were recognized and nurtured by his teachers and by members of the local aristocracy. In 1787 Beethoven first visited Vienna, at that time the center of the music world. There he performed for Mozart, whom he greatly impressed.\n\nIn 1792 Haydn invited him to become his student, and Beethoven returned to Vienna, where he was to remain permanently. However, Beethoven's unorthodox musical ideas offended the old master, and the lessons were terminated. Beethoven studied with several other eminent teachers, including Antonio Salieri, but was developing according to his own singular genius and could no longer profit greatly from instruction.\n\nBoth his breathtaking piano virtuosity and his remarkable compositions won Beethoven favor among the enlightened aristocracy congregated at Vienna, and he enjoyed their generous support throughout his life. They were tolerant, too, of his notoriously boorish manners, careless appearance, and towering rages. His work itself was widely accepted, if controversial, and from the end of the 1790s Beethoven was not dependent on patronage for his income.\n\nThe year 1801 marked the onset of Beethoven's tragic affliction, his deafness, which became progressively worse and, by 1817, total. Public performance eventually became impossible; but his creative work was not restricted. Beethoven never married; however, he was stormily in and out of love all his life, always with women unattainable because of marriage or station. His personal life was further complicated when he was made the guardian of his nephew Karl, who caused him much anxiety and grief but to whom he nevertheless remained fondly attached. Beethoven died, after a long illness, in the midst of a fierce thunderstorm, and legend has it that the dying man shook his fist in defiance of the heavens.\n\nCompositions\n\nBy the 19th cent., Beethoven's work could already be divided into three fairly distinct periods. The works of the first period include the First (1800) and Second (1802) Symphonies; the first three piano concertos (1795—1800); the first group of string quartets (1800); and a number of piano sonatas, among them the Pathétique (1798) and the Moonlight Sonata (1801). Although the compositions of the first period have Beethoven's unmistakable breadth and vitality, they are dominated by the tradition of Haydn and Mozart.\n\nBeginning about 1802, Beethoven's work took on new dimensions. The premiere in 1805 of the massive Third Symphony, known as the Eroica (composed 1803—4), was a landmark in cultural history. It signaled a definitive break with the past and the birth of a new era. The length, structure, harmonies, and orchestration of the Eroica all broke the formal conventions of classical music; unprecedented too was its intention–to celebrate human freedom and nobility. The symphony was originally dedicated to Napoleon, who at first symbolized to Beethoven the spirit of the French Revolution and the liberation of mankind; however, when Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, the disillusioned composer renamed his work the "Heroic Symphony to celebrate the memory of a great man." \n\nThe works of Beethoven's middle period, his most productive, include the Piano Concertos No. 4 (1806) and No. 5 (Emperor Concerto, 1809); the Razumovsky Quartets (1806);

Mozart is the most well-known and popular composer when it comes to that...\n\nBut I believe any piece of light classical music will help you to study. \n\n(When I mean light, I mean that the music is not dramatic, serious, profound, etc...)\n\nThe volume has to be loud enough so you can hear it clearly ("legibly" so to speak)...\n\nBecause what good would it do if the music is quiet enough to blend into the sounds of the environment?

Music recognition software would be very difficult to create.    A faster way of finding out which classical piece/song that your clip is playing, is to play it to a knowledable musician.  A real person with a good library of classical music in their head should be able to figure it out within a few seconds, or know someone who would probably know it, since many musicians specialize.  In this case, a human is still a whole lot faster than a computer.  If you have the capability to transcribe a few notes of the piece you might be able to use Parson's code.\n\nCheck out Parson's code:\nhttp://www.musipedia.org/index.php?id=1&L=0\n\nIt might be what you are looking for.  Good Luck!

Well, since four people already said that they are composers (I agree), maybe that is the obvious.  Or maybe that they are males.  So maybe the obvious isn't so obvious . . . like (my guess) their names are listed in alphabetical order.  \n\nThe word "connects" makes this an interesting question.  You are torturing some of us.  I look forward to your answer.

Hmmm.....doesn't sound familiar.  But I noticed that on the "contacts" page, you can e-mail the webmaster.  Maybe he'd tell you the artist/composer?

Beethoven is considered the father of the Romantic Era in classical music. I think Beethoven's music is much easier to understand than Mozart's. You forgot to mention Beethoven only has one opera which was very unsuccessful unlike Mozart.
