$1.$ Innovator $$ introducing new forms and styles and compositions $($Ex; the symphony or opera$),$ advancing musical elements $($Ex: new harmonies$),$ new economic systems $($Ex: patronage system$).$

$2.$ Disrupter $$ taking the forms, music elements and styles of the period and $$blowing them up$$ using the music elements of the day.

$3.$ Best of $$ taking the forms, music elements and styles of the period musical elements and just being the best at it$.$

Example: Mozart could be considered a $$best of$$ while Beethoven is both an innovator and$/$or disrupter, depending on the genre $($symphony vs piano sonatas$).$

Your assignment is to take each of the terms and identify a composer who you believe best matches each term. You cannot use Mozart or Beethoven since I already have discussed them.

$$ Look through the list of composers on the midterm review and$/$or textbook $($or use one of the composers from Module $8)$ and choose an innovator, disrupter, and $$best$-$of$$

$$ Write at least a $200-$word paragraph$/$essay for EACH selected term$/$composer

$$ Include at least two links to musical examples from YouTube for each section.

$$ Use the text boxes below for each term.

$12$ point font, single spaced, submit as a PDF or Word doc.

$$ Grades will be based on accurate supporting arguments and music examples that clearly demonstrate the definition of the term.
