is 1791, and you have somehow been able to invite the elderly Haydn, forty-something Joseph Bologne, thirty-something Muzio Clementi, thirty-something Mozart–who does not know that he is about to die–and twenty-year-old Beethoven to dinner. describe the evening. Your description should demonstrate what you have learned, from the textbook and other sources, about the personalities of the composers, about the type of music they most often wrote, and musical or other issues they might agree or disagree about.

3) Almost all operas in the Classic era we’re studying this week were written and sung in Italian, regardless of where they were being performed. The Italian language lends itself to better vocal sounds in opera music, making the music more aesthetically pleasing–but if you don’t speak Italian, you might as well be deaf when it comes to being able to follow the story.
Each of the following is a Youtube recording of the Mozart opera Le Nozze di Figaro (“The Marriage of Figaro”). The opera takes about three hours, so for each of the recordings, click somewhere in the middle and listen/watch about five minutes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IugFH6PxeMQ is a recording of the opera as it would have been performed in the late 1700s, in the original Italian, without subtitles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OYtlGpApc0 is a recording of the opera in the original Italian, but with subtitles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RICMDF1w5Cw is a recording of the opera, sung in English.
If you were going to attend a performance of this opera today, which would be the way you would want to experience it: sung in Italian with no supratitles (the words in English displayed above the stage), sung in Italian with supratitles, or sung in English? Why? Which would be the way you would least want to experience it? Why?
