What were the similarities between Mozart Beethoven and Haydn?

Answer 1

Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven all have in common that they are from the classical period. Also, Haydn was Mozart's and Beethoven's teacher. They all could play the piano. They have all worked as a musician in Vienna. Haydn was born in 1732, Mozart 1756, and Beethoven was 1770. Haydn influenced both Mozart and Beethoven. Mozart became good friends with Haydn. Beethoven improved upon the Classical Music of Mozart and Haydn's time.

Answer 2

The three composers, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, are considered the triumvirate of composers of music in the classical style. Indeed, these three men gave us what is by far, the greatest music of their time. Sonata form was so pervasive that it invaded every genre of music of the time, even opera and church music. The three composers under discussion here each created works that are a hybrid of other forms and sonata form. Rondo form and variation form were often blended with sonata form. Mozart and Haydn were both born in Austria. Beethoven was born in Germany, but spent most of his life working in Austria. They all died in Vienna, Austria.

Answer 3

They were both composers of the Classical Period, they both worked and died in Vienna, they both had pushy musical fathers, they were both at the peak of their profession, they both considered Haydn a friend and mentor. Mozart may have tutored Beethoven briefly and may have been impressed with his ability.

Answer 4

The most obvious thing is that they are all composers. However, their styles and the eras in which they composed are quite different. Bach (who came first) had a profound influence on both Mozart and Beethoven. After getting acquainted with Bach's music Mozart promptly assimilated the rich counterpoint and polyphony. Beethoven was 'raised' by the Well-Tempered Klavier, one of the things that attracted people to the young Beethoven was his ability to play the Well-Tempered Klavier flawlessly.
