Roy was asking in the Livestream if the Galant style was receiving the same criticism that contemporary music is receiving today: I am sorry, I did not see the question until later. Probably not. Musicians were paid by the aristocracy to compose music that would please them.

Certainly, it's going to be a great classical month! I have decided to learn a Haydn Sonata Hob. XVI: 34 in E minor, beautiful music full of wonderful details.

I want to participate with Mozart sonata in D major K311
I've been working on this piece for like a month and I have roughly learned the notes for the whole thing. Now working on refining and memorizing the 1st mv. I want to do it really well, because I chose this for my exam!
So this challenge comes at a good timing for me to continue with my original plan while doing with everyone else would be extra fun!

I will learn the “Adagio” of Mozart K280 for the challenge. I will also learn the “Allegro assai”, but it is doubtful I will get it up to tempo by the end of the challenge time as I am working on other music already.
