Several composers in western music history studied law at colleges of law or at law schools. Did their studies influence their works of music? Three composers were chosen from three time periods:G. F. Handel (1685-1795) from the Baroque period,R. Schumann (1810-56) from the Romanticism period, and P. I. Tchaikovsky (1840-93) from the Nationalism period in the latter 19th century. According to the analysis of their symphonies, it became clear that they all respected the Classical or Baroque music form and construction. They correctly keep the music regulations of Classical time. Hewever, they were not just conservative but also adventurous because they attempted and produced new ideas and original methods in their works. As a result of this research, there appear to be three common denominators among these three composers, namely that they attached much importance to the traditional music form, worked steadily, and were musically adventurous. Therefore, it is conclused that there is a relationship between the music and the composer who has experience in studying law.
