Did you know that mendelssohn could also paint incredible watercolors?? And also, he had skills for literature writing, because at age 14, his translation of the play Andria by Terence was published (it was the first one in german), and is still used today as a reference! translation :o And I forgot to mention that he met Goethe at age 12, who was already impressed by the young boy's musical abilities, I mean, praised by Goethe isn't really common I guess 😅

Fun fact about the Diabelli variations: The blurb at 7:09 says Diabelli invited a number of composers (including Schubert and Czerny) to "contribute one variation each", but Diabelli actually had to publish Beethoven's contribution separately as Beethoven wrote 33 variations by himself. Beethoven's Diabelli Variations are considered to rival Bach's Goldberg Variations as the greatest set of variations for piano ever composed.

7:08 some extra trivia:
Beethoven was in fact one of the composers also called to write a variation for the waltz. Because Beethoven was Beethoven, he decided to write 33 variations, together spanning an hour-long work which is often considered to be one of the greatest variations sets ever written. Diabelli published it as the first part of his Vaterländischer Künstlerverein - the second part was the remaining 50 variations by 50 other composers, including Liszt and Czerny, but also Schubert (one of the multiple choice options).
Also, Liszt was a massive Beethoven fanboy when younger, which is why his variation and a lot of his early pieces sound like middle/late Beethoven.

For a school final, I wrote about Shostakovich and how he used music to express himself, and to go against the Stalin government. ClassicFM has an article about it and this man had one of the worst lives. I showed his 8th string quartet to a friend who doesn't listen to classical music and she was shocked at how horrible sounding it was. Btw, she also said that about Brett's lofi!! Lol

Is Brett’s first documented composition his lofi or are there earlier pieces that hint at the brilliance to come?
