I thought this might be an interesting game for us to play. The idea is that we choose a composer and represent them by the composers that we feel influenced their style the most.
I'll start:
Mozart:
- J.C. Bach
- Michael Haydn
- C.P.E. Bach
- Johann Schobert
- Leopold Mozart
- G.F. Handel
- Joseph Haydn
- J.S. Bach
- Gluck
Really loving the replies so far, I'm glad people like the idea . I was hoping for more obscure composers too though, along with the big names. For instance, I personally think it's incredible how much of Mozart's basic style you hear in the music of J.C. Bach (Or rather how much J.C. Bach in Mozart), and I'm really interested in finding similar cases of this.
Debussy
- Wagner (early on)
- Cesar Franck, Emmanuel Chabrier, Jules Massenet
- Liszt
- Erik Satie
- Palestrina
- Asian music, pentatonic scale, esp. Javanese gamelan
Saint-Saens was a kind of polyglot or hybrid of many influences (no surprises as to the names below, since he was a brilliant pianist), eg.:
- Liszt
- J.S. Bach
- Chopin
- Beethoven
- Mozart
- Wagner
Messiaen
- Wagner
- Debussy, Ravel
- His teachers, esp. Dukas and Dupre
- Second Viennese School, esp. Webern
- J.S. Bach
- & birdsong (the avian, not human, varieties of birds!)
