So I was listening to “1812 overture” and I was like “Is that cannon fire?!”
Looked it up.
Yup.
Wow.
Way to go Tchaikovsky.

I'm doing Der Erlkonig right now for choir and I'm constantly blown away by the intro for it. And Schuber wrote it WHEN HE WAS 18!!!

Does John Williams' scoring count as 'classical'??? He's my favorite composer!! unless Lin-Manuel Miranda counts
My favourite is probably Chopin

He had a jar of dirt from his home country his whole life and was buried in it. There was more, but I forgot. He was just an interesting guy, I read a big book about musicians a few years ago and he stood out to me.
He asked to be quartered
He also asked his brother to destroy his manuscripts
He also had an affair with a female author (George Sand was her writing name) who dresses like a man

Ah yes he was the one who affaired George Sand. She also was a mountain climber.
I thought she was an author?
Oh and we did 1812 Overture at my old school and we built a cannon!
