Who is John Williams
Some people today find classical music to be boring and not enjoyable to listen to but, little do they know that is the root of all music that we have today. Some of the most famous composers during the classical are Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. Beethoven's most famous piece is "Beethoven's Fifth Symphony" composed in either 1801 or 1802. Even if people don't know Beethoven as a composer they know him by the first movement of this symphony. It is featured in many television commercials and movies. This famous song gave inspiration to the future composers today such as John Williams. The composer of the "Star Wars" trilogy.
John Williams was born on February 8th, 1932 in New York City. His father was a musician and they put him in piano lessons at a young age. He moved to Los Angeles California with his family in 1948. He went to the University of California in Los Angeles in 1953 before he went on to Julliard's School of Music. He studied with Rosina Lhevinne. John dreamed of being a professional concert pianist, John Williams stated in a 2012 interview with NPR at Julliard he heard "players like John Browning and Van Cliburn around the place, who were also students of Rosina's, and I thought to myself, "If that's the competition, I think I better be a composer!" Some of John's other most known film scores are Jaws, Fiddler on the Roof, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, E.T The extra terrestrial and the first three Harry Potter Movies.
