Gluck's operatic reforms, eliminating all that was undramatic, were a turning point in the history of the medium.
Gluck's musical legacy was around 35 complete operas, together with numerous ballets and instrumental works. His reforms influenced Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, particularly his opera Idomeneo (1781). Gluck left behind a flourishing school of disciples in Paris, who would dominate the French stage throughout the Revolutionary and Napoleonic period. As well as Antonio Salieri, they included Antonio Sacchini, Luigi Cherubini, Étienne Méhul and Gaspare Spontini. Gluck's greatest French admirer would be Hector Berlioz, whose epic Les Troyens may be seen as the culmination of the Gluckian tradition.
Though Gluck wrote no operas in German, his example influenced the German school of opera, particularly Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, whose concept of music drama was not so far removed from Gluck's own.
(I understand Christoph Gluck was the music tutor of "Princess" Marie-Antoinette, during her childhood in Vienna, at the court of her mother - Empress Marie-Therese.

I will never be tired of listening to this comfortable masterpiece again and again
I feel the deep relief and calm as I am held by my mother when
I listen to this pensive song .
This song has the magical power .
This song purifies the human soul .
Greeting from mysterious Japan .
Which national are you seeing this video ？

Thank you so much to your wonderful comment
In my garden of Tokyo,
(( Tokyo has a population of 14 million and has been the capital since1868,
40 million people live in the metropolitan area))
the autumn insects are chirping in thin voices , trying to fulfill their fleeting lives.
Soon,
the ginkgo and maple leaves will fall, creating the gorgeous carpet of yellow and red on the earth.
In time ,
cold rain and snow will fall, and the autumn insects will die out, leaving their offspring on my garden.
We will have the pleasure of welcoming Christmas and the New Year.
Someday please come to Japan
You will be astounded at the immeasurable heartfelt hospitality and unfathomable delicious Japanese peculiar foods and the comfortable function
Good luck
See you again
By the way
I am a Brucknerian and Proustien and Debussyiest

I played this at my grandfathers funeral on the flute a few years ago. He used to love to listen to me play so I thought I would play his favourite song. It was very hard to not cry whilst playing, but I am very glad and proud I did it.

I am Mexican and have lived in Los Angeles, California since 1973.
I have this beautiful piece of music recorded on an audio cassette that I recorded from a radio station in 1977, and today using Shazam (a program that, by playing the music on my speaker, finds the title of the song and now I am listening to it. listening in spectacular stereophonic sound. Magnificent work.

As a former drunk saved by playing piano classics and tennis, this is undoubtedly an uplifting tune.
