Antonin Dvorak is apart from Smetana the most important music composer of the Czechs.He was pupil of german Brahms.His most famous concerto for Violoncello had a quite open dedication to a male musician playing Viola.Therefore he was be seen as gay.

His most important works are :

Symphony Nr.9 in E – minor Op.95 – From the new world,
Concerto for Violoncello in B minor Op.104 ,
Opera Rusalka,
Humoreske
Some are recommending his Stabat mater Oratory witch is not that of Pergolesi.

O.F.D PS : This list is still not complete.

Bedrich Smetana ist neben Dvorak der wichtigste Komponist der Tschechen.Er war glühender Verehrer des Tschechischen Staates sprach jedoch,Prag war eine der alten Deutschen Hauptstädte, kein Wort Tschechisch.Praktische Geister mutmassen ,dass ihn mit deutscher Stimme wohl mit dem Namen Friedrich Schlagobers, Schlagrahm oder Sahne niemand ernst genommen hätte.Also Smetana.

Seine wichtigsten Werke sind :

Ma Vlast / Mein Vaterland mit Nr1 Vyscherad und Nr.2 Moldau ( Vlata ),
Oper Die verkaufte Braut :
Ouverture ,
Finale 1. Akt
Arie und Polka 2 und 3 Akt.

The itallian composer Pergolesi died with 26.His most important work is Stabat Mater one of the best Oratories.On the other hand the remarkable quality is more or less first movement only.Ignoring his short live there was religious political speculation concerning influences on J.S. Bach.Recently there was found a new work of itallian Pergolesi.Its called Septem verba a Christo – premiere 2012.I dont know it till now.But there are good critics.Historical Scherchen ( how to conduct ) was in favor for this.My problem with results of Rene Jacobs , conductor and music scientist, is this : 9 of 10 works given to name of Pergolesi were plagiats / not true.This is rather seldom but not concerning Pergolesi how it seems.Its quite obviously 30 years war between catholic and lutheran church for haveing right believe folowing to arguments… faceing lutheran Bach ,.. me… and Händel.My Oratory Deus genitor mundi, not neapolitan much better than Pergolesi has precisely 7 movements.I wrote first movement and third … basically in 1991 during Strasbourg sciences economiques studies there but at home visiting Ma at Munich.Second movement I wrote in 1993 in Augsburg Beethoven street 3, in my first habitation in a students group for a while there.Last version I gave also to Marx Munich Katholic Bishop in about 2008 and naturally to some publishers.Its oekomenical .The perfect last version with libretto , especially in last movement quite different, I wrote in 2013 – 2014.Naturally I gave this to some choirs and great publishers.Till now I have no contract for this.On the other hand I gave only CDS not partitions.I will try to hear the new Pergolesi to chec it.I’m true.Im composer not music scientist even when all my studies were officially music sciences.Im composer,but I got only a place in Regensburg for economics not in Munich where I had habitation at Mum and easyly work as only financement.Therefore I signed at Ludwig Maximilia Univerity Munich LMU concerning music sciences waiting half a year cause im musician.Therfore my studies book is music sciences even if its economics, sciences economiques , law…. But in first line Im in deed autodidactyly like Wagner and Haydn …musician.Nevertheless Im not a specialist for compareing works concerning historical authorship.This was not my subject.

Most important tunes :

Stabat Mater , especially first movement.
NEW MAYBEE : Septem verba a Christo 1736 / Premiere 2012 – hamonia mundi

La morte di San Giuseppe.
Opera La serva padrona
Flute concerto.

O.F.D PS : If you like oratories and respectable writing of young Pergolesi than you will probably like my ecomenical oratory Deus Genitor Mundi in 7 movements if you are not a J.S.Bach hater. Its online as playlist in final version of 2013 here :

Der ungarische stämmige in Ungarn geborene Komponist und Pianist Franz Liszt war mit Chopin zusammen Mit Schöpfer des modernen Konzertflügels.Neben seinen harmonisch Wagner vorbereitenden Kompositionsleistungen ist die Förderung R. Wagners dem er auch seine Tochter Cosima zur Frau gab eine seiner wichtigsten Leistungen.Ebenso wie bei Chopin ist sein Orchester Werk nicht ganz der Höhe seines Klavierwerkes entsprechend. Er galt als der Paganini des Klaviers und war der Begründer des Allgemeinen Deutschen Musikvereins dem viele Musiker die Sicherung ihrer Existenz zu verdanken hatten. Zudem galt er als wenig diskret explizit anFrauen interessiert.

Einige der wichtigsten Werke von Franz Liszt sind :

Liebestraum Nr. 3 As – Dur Op. 62,
Les Preludes,
Mephisto Walzer,
Ungarische Rapsodie Nr. 2
Ungarische Rapsodie Nr. 9 Es -Dur
Ungarische Rapsodie Nr. 11 A – Moll

Der Hamburger Johannes Brahms beruft sich als wahrer Sohn Beethovens auf dessen Werk und erweitert mit wohl weniger Begabung aber harter Arbeit dessen Formensprache in 4 Symphonien und Konzerten.Im Hinblick auf den Ausgestorbenen Beethoven teilt er sich mit dem aufblickenden Schumann dessen Frau Klara Schumann eine bekannte Pianistin und hat zu Dritt 10 Kinder.Ansonsten war Brahms der Ansicht wer keine Oper schreiben kann braucht auch nicht zu heiraten und bildete den angeblich homosexuellen Dvorak aus was zu Spekulationen Anlass gab worunter vor allem Schumann und sein 83 Jahre lang wegen potetiell kompromittierender Widmung nach damaligem Tagebuchrecht verbotenes Violinkonzert litt.

Einige der wichtigsten Werke des Komponisten und Top Pianisten sind :

Sinfonie Nr 2 D – Dur Op. 73 Satz 1,
Sinfonie Nr.3 F- Dur Op. 90 Satz 3,
Konzert für Violine und Orchester D – Dur Op. 77,
Pianokonzert Nr.2 B – Moll Op. 83,

Johann Strauss Vater war zu Wien als Komponist des Radezky Marsches erfolgreich,versuchte seinen Söhnen die Musik auszutreiben und einen ordentlichen Beruf entgegen ihrer eigentlichen Neigung beizubringen.
So kam es dass zwei seiner Musik Söhne Johann Strauss Sohn und Bruder Eduard gegenüber des Musikvereins in dem die Wiener Philharmoniker heute Untermieter sind am Polytechnikum Maschinenbau studierten und beide erfolgreich abschlossen.Heute befindet sich dort ein Gedenkschild.Von dieser Polytechnischen Universität starteten Johann Stauss Sohn und Eduard Strauss ihre musikalische Weltkarriere als abgeschlossene Maschinenbauer.Freilich ist die Walzer Musik harmonisch nicht allzu anspruchsvoll doch melodiös und qualitativ durchaus relevant.

Einige der Wichtigsten Kompositionen der Strauss Dynastie vor Allem Strauss Sohn sind :

An der schönen blauen Donau Op. 314,
Der Kaiserwalzer Op.43,
Wiener Blut Op. 354,
Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald Op. 325,
Ouverture Fledermaus Operette ,
Frühlingsstimmen Walzer Op. 410,
