Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), Austrian composer whose brother Michael Haydn was also a notable composer, was one of the main pillars on which classicism was based (1750-1810). At the age of six he began his studies of harpsichord and violin. At the age of eight he was admitted as a chorister at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna where he received lessons in singing, piano and violin. After losing his voice, he had to survive by working multiple jobs, while studying composition by analyzing the works of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach . He maintained a close friendship with Mozart and was Beethoven 's teacher. He laid the main foundations of the sonata form and the formal structure of the string quartet and the symphony . He died at the age of 77 in Vienna .

Symphony No. 49 was written in 1768 by Joseph Haydn . Its nickname "The Passion" is believed to come directly from the musical characteristics of the composition: structure of the archaic Sinfonia da Chiesa (slow, fast, slow, fast) , in minor mode and the association with the author's Sturm und Drang period. According to H. C. Robbins Landon it is a work of "dark colors, somber, and even tragic". The symphony is structured in four movements, of which today we present the second, Allegro di molto, by the hand of the teacher Barbara Hannigan , Canadian soprano and conductor (1971), who has conducted since 2011 the Berlin Philharmonic and other orchestras in Munich, Toronto, Cleveland, Gothenburg Prague ...

Sturm und Drang (storm and assault) is a term that does not come from music but from literature, understood as a reaction against the Baroque . In music, polyphonic structure and speculation or mathematical symbolism are criticized, as well as formulas that do not allow for adequate and simple expression, the objective, rational and comprehensible method. Emotional intensity, subjectivity in expression and rebellion against social and artistic conventions are transferred to music through a wide range of resources: wide intervals, intense dissonances, agile syncopations, tremolo passages, dense textures, irregular phrases, activity in high registers, suspended cadences, unexpected silences and abrupt contrasts of dynamics, textures, harmonies and rhythm. By creating a reinforced tension and including a passionate gravity, a new dramatic sense is achieved, foreign to classicism.

Jacques Ibert (1890 – 1962) was a French composer of classical music. Ibert was born in Paris to a wealthy family. His father, Antoine Ibert , a businessman and merchant, was an amateur violinist, while his mother, Marguerite Lartigue Ibert , was an accomplished pianist. In his childhood, Jacques was surrounded by musicians, painters and poets who would have a profound impact on his career. Ibert began his musical training at a very early age, studying the violin when he was four years old and later the piano. He studied with Paul Vidal, Emile Pessard and André Gédalge at the Paris Conservatoire and it was in Gédalge 's class that he met Arthur Honegger and Darius Milhaud , with whom he maintained a lifelong friendship. Ibert 's music is typically considered to be very "light" in character, often witty, colourfully orchestrated with attractive melodies. From 1937 he was director of the French Academy in Rome , and from 1955 to 1957 he directed the Opéra-Comique in Paris . He died in Paris.

Concertino (musical composition) is a short concerto in a freer form. It usually takes the form of a one-movement musical composition for solo instrument(s) and orchestra, although some concertinos are written in several movements played without a break. It should be distinguished from the concertino (violinist) who is the principal first violinist and leader of the orchestra.

Symphony . The word symphony derives from the Latin symphonĭa, which in turn comes from the Greek συμφωνία (symphōnía), meaning "consonance" as opposed to διαφωνία (diaphōnia), meaning "dissonance." In the Middle Ages and later, the word symphony was used to describe various instruments, especially those capable of producing more than one sound simultaneously in the sense of "sounding together." The word began to appear in the titles of some works by 16th- and 17th- century composers; by the late 18th century the word had acquired the common meaning assigned to it today: a work usually consisting of several distinct sections or movements and most often composed for orchestra.
