The influence on modern music is as profound as Qu Yuan's influence on China's classical poetry, and his philosopher-like mind has inspired all beings so far. Key words: Mozart; Beethoven; Music style; Classical School Mozart and Beethoven both belong to the Vienna Classical School. Beethoven worshipped Mozart very much and directly inherited and developed Mozart's art in many aspects. The most prominent feature of Mozart's musical style is that he maintains unparalleled fluency and singing skills from beginning to end. This obviously stems from his natural affinity for music; Beethoven is a revolutionary giant in music, and his piano sonata is a unique document that expounds the spiritual development of musicians. Mozart wrote 4 1 symphonies in his short life, which made important contributions to the development of symphonies. His symphonies in the 1960s were obviously influenced by J.S. Bach, and they were all immature works. In 1970s, when he visited Vienna, Milan, Munich, Mannheim and Paris, he got in touch with the most famous symphony orchestra in Europe at that time, which enabled him to further understand and master the characteristics of symphony. The 1980s in Vienna was the mature period of his symphony creation. These works are consistent with the classical paradigm of Haydn's four-movement suite form, but the contrast between the two themes in the sonata form of the first movement is greatly strengthened, and sometimes even the contrast thought in the same theme appears, thus making the theme more dramatic; In addition, under the prospect of the unified style of the whole work, he highlighted the contrast between the movements and increased the appeal of the work, thus reaching a higher artistic realm. Mozart's symphony first absorbed the expressive and poetic tunes of his opera and the factors of its dramatic contrast; Secondly, on the basis of the main melody harmony, polyphony is widely used, with flexible melody, great boldness of vision, transparent, pure and expressive body. Beethoven had only nine symphonies in his life, but it was his highest creative achievement. The style development of the nine symphonies just reflects his mature growth process and is the perfect embodiment of his revolutionary spirit. Beethoven's symphonies are centered on heroes who express revolutionary struggles. His broad conception, magnificent image, deep feelings and sharp contrast all make him prefer to adopt and expand sonata form. At the same time, the images he created are rich and varied, and the sonata form used in each work has its own characteristics. His handling of sonata form realized the internal unity of tone and image. He not only unified each theme within the scope of one movement, but also unified it in different movements of the whole suite. For example, the heroic horn sound of the first theme of the first movement of the third symphony also appeared in other movements, and the first theme of the first movement of the fifth symphony even played a leading role. He also applied the dramatic technique of opera creation to his symphony creation, making symphony a dramatic instrumental genre; He changed the original minuet in the symphony into a scherzo, which expanded the scope of expression. Beethoven and Mozart loved the creation of piano music best, and they both left a lot of piano literature for later generations. Mozart is proficient in all the expressions of piano music, with an amazing number of piano sonatas, as well as various piano variations, fantasia, concertos, minuets and so on. His piano works are amazing in number and have great influence. Its music is mild, bright, delicate and delicate, and its melody is very singing, which has a typical Vienna classical music style. There are many familiar melodies in it. For example, the first movement of Sonata No.331in A major is as quiet as a mother singing a lullaby to her child, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling. The theme of his piano variations in C major is Little Star, which everyone heard when he was a child. ..... Generally speaking, Mozart's piano music is full of tranquility, fantasy and romance-a kind of romance different from Chopin's, the difference lies in its simplicity and simplicity, but it captures the listener's most basic and beautiful feelings. What's even more amazing is that no matter how complicated the elements of musical style are, in Mozart's works, there has never been a situation of thinking stagnation or stubbornness. Many people have played the last movement of Mozart's piano sonata K.332 in F major, which is a lively scene full of strong southern Italian flavor. The opening of comedy, street tunes, clown's teasing, loud speakers, clever sentences, and sudden gloomy meditation-these seemingly unrelated messy pictures, adjusted by Mozart's skillful hands, are as natural and smooth as nature, which is incredible. Beethoven composed a large number of piano music, including 30 sonatas, 5 concertos and various sketches. The style of his piano works can be roughly divided into three periods, and there is no obvious boundary between these three periods. Beethoven's early style features, on the one hand, inherited and developed the classical traditions of Haydn and Mozart, such as simplicity, rigor and philosophy; On the other hand, his melody inherits Haydn's method of developing motivation, absorbs the deep affection of Mozart's melody, and forms the characteristics of simplicity, roughness, simplicity and enthusiasm. On the other hand, it has initially formed its own unique personality, and the sense of strength and imbalance brought about by frequent changes, divisions and pauses in rhythm; The disharmony in harmony and tonality and the expansion of unstable range; The dramatic fluctuation of strength constitutes the powerful appeal of Beethoven's music. The middle period is the prosperous and critical period of Beethoven's creation. He made great efforts to explore the expressive force of the extended sonata and the structural function of the divertimento, and made innovations and developments in many aspects, and also formed his own style and characteristics. Beethoven's piano sonata in D minor (Storm) Op 3 1No 2 2 is the most controversial among 32 piano sonatas. There are various opinions on his thought, content and position in Beethoven's piano creation all his life. In terms of ideology, Sonata of the Storm is the most prominent example of Beethoven's direct expression of ideas in music. This sonata is a triumph of aesthetics and ethics in conception. Beethoven's three piano sonatas No.31are the turning point in all piano sonatas, and also the harbinger and signal before the turning point in his whole audio-visual philosophy system. It is this kind of omen and signal that indicates the emergence of a heroic and revolutionary The Romantic Period in Beethoven's system, marching towards a new goal in Beethoven's mind. One of the style characteristics of Beethoven's later works is to carefully tap the greatest potential of theme and motivation, and the other is to intentionally blur the dividing line to obtain continuity. The abstraction and universality of Beethoven's later works are manifested in the increasing length and importance of counterpoint texture, which is also the style of his music creation at its peak. The works of this period are recognized by the world as "surpassing all previous music and soaring to the highest field that human imagination can touch". It can be said that when listening to Mozart's piano music, I chewed it carefully with a noble peace, as if I had walked into a flowery garden, quietly enjoying the classical architecture, the path in the courtyard, the street lamps in the moonlight, the grass flowers, the clear running water, the reflection of the stars all over the pool ... At the end of the song, I could sleep peacefully and quietly. However, when we appreciate Beethoven's piano works, our hearts are often restless. For example, in the sonata Moonlight, the first movement seems to be a bright moon in the sky, which is a peaceful scene, while the second movement is like the reflection of the moon at the bottom of the pool, and the third movement is hard to remind people of the moon anyway. His stormy performance typifies Beethoven's style. Therefore, the difference between Beethoven and Mozart is that they both give wonderful music to mankind, but the beauty is different, and the beauty is fast and slow; One enters the WTO and one is born; A face up to the difficulties of life, a tearful smile facing the harsh life.
