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!

I'd nominate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (brilliant performer, began composing at early age, left a huge volume music when he died early) or Johann Sebastian Bach (inventor or at least early practitioner of the well-tempered scales which allow transposition into any scale without getting dissonances, as well as a very productive componist). Modern music still borrows from them.

Owen Pallett.  This the guy?  Never heard of him, but here's a little info.  He doesn't seem to be very "classical" though.

The soundtrack is actually a Mozart Symphony, sung by some arabiac person.  I believe its symphon nyumber 41?  Or 40.... .right around that number.

Which composer ? each composer has a different approach.........what style of music, all written music is called a composition and each style has a different rhythmic element.............\n\nYour question is way to vague.......try again

beethoven had the vision that no composer had at his time. He even once said "I will seize fate by the throat!". He conquered his weakness, which was his ever-worsening deafness, by composing music that nobody had imagined before. His music is full of pain and vital energy.

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?

The Brandenburg Concertos of J.S. Bach are a good candidate. We're talking ALL time here, folks, don't answer with the last 25 years, ok?

Mozart liked during the Romantic Era.  Why don't you do some research on him?  You could make part of your essay about him.

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.

I DONT REALLY KNOW,BUT DAMN, WOULDN'T BE GREAT IF WE COULD HAVE FOUND OUT. THEY WERE ALL MUSICAL GENIUSES IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SAY NOW.MAYBE MORE MUSIC TODAY WOULD BE WORTH LISTENING TO.

Both genres are appealing, and the opinion lies with the audience. Personally, classical is more emotional. The Percussion is just phenomenal.

I would say it was Mozart.

It is very good for the brain. It has been proven that aural stimulation helps infants and toddlers increase their IQ significantly. It appears that Mozart's music is the best, though I'm not sure I believe that to be entirely true. I find that a good variety of music is best. Don't limit yourself to a certain type or genre of music. Listen to all kinds if you can. Mix it up a bit. It's amazing what you learn through your subconscious as you listen.

If you play any of it , you have my respect. Chopin's stuff was pretty demanding from what i hear. I heard a chopin piece once played by a guy named Tony MaCalpine, who is better known as one of those "Neo-Classical" inflence shred guitar players, though he is also an amazing pianist / keyboardist who had a formal classical background.
