Which composer were Stanford's teachings NOT based on?
Mozart
Brahms
Chopin
Haydn
Answer
Contrary to his contemporaries who drew influences from Chopin, Stanford primarily based his teachings on the German musical tradition. He greatly admired the works of Brahms, Beethoven, and Bach, which shaped his own musical style and pedagogical approach. While he recognized Chopin's technical brilliance and emotional depth, Stanford placed more emphasis on structural clarity and contrapuntal writing in his teachings.
