At the heart of Tchaikovsky’s work are ballets and biographical symphonies, no wonder this Russian composer was known as a romantic! Much like how Tchaikovsky’s music charmed and enchanted those who listened, people are always amazed by your charm, which is why he would be your long-lost relative.
Our Tchaikovsky favorite: 1812 Overture / Nutcracker / Swan Lake

Mozart defined the classical era, which is what made him such an iconic composer. The work that Mozart did feels like magic and he had a heavy influence on later music history. One trendsetter to the next, he would definitely be your long-lost relative!

Bach’s spirit dwells in nearly every note he’s written, each piece containing a strong, emotional power. Bach was truly enlightened, to say the least, and you are both aware of your higher selves. Of course he would be your long-lost relative!
Our favorite Bach piece: Brandenburg Concerto

Antonio Vivaldi

Vivaldi left a distinct mark on the form of concerto and the style of Baroque instrumental music. He only held one full-time post because he preferred life as a freelance composer for its flexibility and entrepreneurial opportunities. He had no shame in wanting to lead a good life and wanting to make a good impression with his work, which is why he would be your long-lost relative!
Vivaldi work that we love: Four Seasons

Claude Debussy

Debussy created lyrical melodies, poetic piano works, and chamber music that feel light and airy. It leaves a gentle impression on you but is still inspiring and makes you stop and listen. You can almost feel the peace and ease that radiates from his work. That’s why he would be your long-lost relative!

Igor Stravinsky

Stravinsky’s music is precise, energetic, and brilliant! His style remained the same though he constantly reinvented himself and his integrated approach to art has been everlasting. If anyone were to be your long-lost relative, it’s Stravinsky!
Song by Stravinsky we love: The Rite of Spring

When looking from the point of view of sheer enjoyment, few can even come close to comparing to Haydn- his energy exudes out of every work! That’s exactly why he would be your long-lost relative.
