Christoph Willibald (Ritter von) Gluck (] ; 2 July 1714 – 15 November 1787) was a composer of Italian and French opera in the early classical period.
 Born in the Upper Palatinate (now part of Germany) and raised in Bohemia, he gained prominence at the Habsburg court at Vienna, where he brought about the practical reform of opera's dramaturgical practices that many intellectuals had been campaigning for over the years.
 With a series of radical new works in the 1760s, among them "Orfeo ed Euridice" and "Alceste", he broke the stranglehold that Metastasian "opera seria" had enjoyed for much of the century.
Mannheim school refers to both the orchestral techniques pioneered by the court orchestra of Mannheim in the latter half of the 18th century as well as the group of composers of the early classical period, who composed for the orchestra of Mannheim.
 The father of the school is considered to be the Bohemian composer Johann Stamitz.
 Besides him, two generations of composers wrote compositions for the orchestra, whose reputation was due to its excellent discipline and the individual skill of its players; their performance style included new dynamic elements, crescendos and diminuendos.
 Composers of the Mannheim school played an important role in the development of the classical period's genres and of the classical symphony form.

The marble Kritios Boy or Kritian Boy belongs to the Early Classical period of ancient Greek sculpture.
 It is the first statue from classical antiquity known to use contrapposto; Kenneth Clark called it "the first beautiful nude in art" It is possible, even likely, that earlier Bronze statues had used the technique, but if they did, they have not survived and Susan Woodford has speculated that the statue is a copy of a Bronze original.
 The Kritios Boy is thus named because it is attributed, on slender evidence, to Kritios who worked together with Nesiotes (sculptors of "Harmodius and Aristogeiton") or their school, from around 480 BC.
 As currently mounted, the statue is considerably smaller than life-size at c. 86 cm (3 ft 10 ins), including the supports that replace the missing feet.
