Composers have very distinct styles my teacher would joke Mozart adored the triad, Beethoven the octave and Chopin the tenth.

A fun game I like to play myself is "guess the composer". I think I shocked my friend the most when I watched West World with him and after seeing the intro only once I guessed correctly that it was the same composer as the Game of Thrones intro.

Sometimes I second guess myself too much between late Mozart and early Beethoven but I think most the composers have their own hallmarks.

Chopin in particular was quite idiosyncratic because his piano writing was fairly innovative. He came up with a lot of new ways to play the piano and his polish influences and focus on salon music is very distinct
