The Polish composer, Frédéric Chopin is considered one of the greatest Romantic composers. The majority of his compositions were written for the piano as a solo piece. Over 230 of Chopin's work have survived, sadly the compositions he wrote as a child have been lost.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed from the age of five and performed in front of European royalty. During his time he composed over 600 works. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers. The central traits of the Classical style are all present in Mozart's music; clarity, balance and transparency.

The Canadian composer Howard Shore, may be one of my favourite composers. His major success came in 2001with his score to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The score was hugely successful and he won his first Oscar, as well as a Grammy Award and nominations for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA. He also composed the music for the rest of the trilogy, as well as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. He has composed music for several different films such as: Cosmopolis, A Dangerous Method, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and many more.

Swan Lake
Waltz from "Swan Lake"
Waltz of the Flowers
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote many works which are popular with the classical music public, including Romeo and Juliet and his three ballets; The Nutcracker, Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty. Tchaikovsky's music displays an unusually wide stylistic and emotional range, from salon works of innocuous charm to symphonies of tremendous depth and power. Repetition is a natural part of Russian music- many of its folk songs are essentially a series of variations on one a sic shape or pattern of a few notes. This is a natural part of Tchaikovsky's music, his use of sequences within melodies (repeating a tune at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice) could go on for extreme length.
