Italy.
(Badiola, et.Al., 2014)
His violin teachers could not keep up with the progress of
his violin skills that he kept on transferring from one violin teacher to another and was
therefore filled with all their influences.
Paganini became the most famous violin virtuoso in the world. However,
together with his fame came the rumors that said that his amazing violin skills were a
gift from the devil and that he sold his soul in exchange for those skills. He was also
rumored to have a problem with women and gambling.
His compositions inspired a lot of other composers such as Franz Liszt, Frederic
Chopin, and Robert Schumann to name a few.
Some Works of Niccolo Paganini:
PIANO MUSIC
One of the important features in the development of music during the
Romantic era is the piano innovations. The classical era made significance in piano
through the composition of sonatas made by Ludwig Van Beethoven and other
classical composers but it was reinvented and developed by some Romantic
composers like Frederic Chopin and Franz Liszt that was shown in some of their
composition. Some of this piano composition was adapted from a song like Etude
Op. 10, No. 3 in E major of Chopin to “No Other Love”. These two great composer
for piano signifies how piano music can be more enjoyable at the same time
challenging to the people who want to learn their style.
FAMOUS COMPOSERS OF PIANO MUSIC:
FREDERIC CHOPIN

Conservatory under Wilhelm Würfel and most of his music (Badiola, et.Al., 2014) was
influenced by Polish folk music. He finished his formal education at the higher school
in 1829 and soon traveled to Europe giving concerts in places such as Vienna,
Munich, Paris, and London. He wrote almost exclusively for the piano. He made
extensive use of the piano pedal in most of his compositions. He also composed
mostly for chamber music and avoided playing or performing inside the hall.
In 1831, Chopin arrived in Paris to further his career and he met other
legendary composers such as Franz List, Felix Mendelssohn, and Robert
Schumann. During this time in Paris, Chopin met and married the famous French
writer George Sand and later became a source of inspiration as well as a maternal
figure in Chopin’s life. In the latter part of Chopin’s life, his health began to decline,
and was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. Chopin died on October 17th, 1849,
in Paris. Chopin’s music is recognized worldwide for its beauty and complexity and
his works on the piano are staples in the piano repertoire.
Some of his music is characterized through its beautiful tone, rhythmic
flexibility, graceful and elegant. Some of his compositions like mazurkas and
polonaise express his love for Poland and most of his compositions did not attach
any literary titles or programs to his pieces.

FRANZ LISZT
The best word that describes the works of
Franz Liszt is “virtuosity”. He was known as the
virtuoso pianist and composer and the busiest
musicians during the romantic era which include
playing and studying in Vienna and Paris at the same
time touring throughout Europe by giving concerts.
Liszt was born in the village of Doborjan,
Hungary. He displayed remarkable talent at a young
age and easily understands sight-reading through
the effort of his father as the first teacher at age six.
A turning point came when, in his early twenties,
Liszt
heard the virtuoso violinist Niccolo Paganini performs so (Badiola, et.Al., 2014) he
decided to dedicate himself doing piano music as what

PROGRAM MUSIC
One of the distinct characteristics of romantic music is the unique feature of
instrumental forms called “Program music”. It is a piece of instrumental music that
conveys images or scenes, music that tells a short story without text or lyrics, and
imaginative ideas fully developed through the imaginative effort of a `great and
genius composer Hector Berlioz.
ROBERT SCHUMANN
One of the famous Romantic composers that
worked intensively between music and words is
Robert Schumann. He was a composer, music critic
and considered himself as the heir to the original
creative tradition of Beethoven and Shubert. Robert
Alexander Schumann was born in 1810 in Zwickau.
His father wanted his son to study law and in 1821
Schumann went to Leipzig to study law but he spent
most of his time in Leipzig, understanding and
enjoying musical and literary circles thru the effort of
Friedrich Wieck who took some time to teach
Schumann to play the piano.
It was also this time when he wrote some of his
first piano compositions. He eventually convinced
his family that he should put aside law in favor of a performing career. In 1830
Schumann went to live with Wieck in Leipzig. He soon developed a problem with his
hands, effectively ending his dreams as a pianist. It was in 1834 when Schumann
NegOr_Q3_MAPEH9_Module3a_v2
founded the music jornal Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik wherein he edited and wrote
music criticism for his publication. He wrote numerous works of the young composer
and one of which was the performance of Frederic Chopin in Paris, France. In his
journal, Schumann often wrote under two pseudonyms - Eusebius (his sensitive,
lyrical side) and Florestan (his fiery, stormy side).
Piano Works o "Abegg Variations," Opus 1(1830) o "Davidsbundlertanze" ("Dances
of the Band of David"), Opus 6 (1837) o "Carnaval," Opus 9 (1835) - a portrait
of a masked ball attended by his allies and his beloved Clara
o "Phantasiestucke," Opus 12 (1837) - a series of mood pieces o
Kreisleriana," Opus 16 (1838) - a fantasy on the mad Kapellmeister
o "Kinderszenen," Opus 15 (1838) - a poetic series of evocations of a child's
world

atmosphere. Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky music was known for his ballet music. Born
on May 7, 1840, in Votkinsk, Russia, he first studied law in his youth and became a
law clerk in St. Petersburg in his twenties. He rebelled and began to study music at
the conservatory also in St. Petersburg. His name was transcribed into English name
and was called Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
As a big fan of Mozart, Tchaikovsky studied composition with Anton Rubinstein
and moved to Moscow and started teaching at the new conservatory.
The early works of Tchaikovsky were not memorable because he feels a little
frightened by his teacher Anton Rubinstein but later became famous after he
composed the musical poem “Fatum” and “Romeo and Juliet”.
Despite his struggle in marriage, he continues his music career in New York
and conducted his work. He experiences a great deal of fame in the last ten years of
his life and later died because of drinking unfiltered water from which he got cholera.
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's music is characterized through the movement heard
in some of his ballet compositions. As a musician, he composed haunting melodies
and used a great deal of folk music in his symphonic works. His music is known for
being both too beautiful and too depressing. There are very few surviving
manuscripts written by Tchaikovsky. He was very critical of his work and very often
burned his scores.
