 What’s New

COMPOSERS OF THE CLASSICAL

PERIOD

Music of the classical period is also known as “Age of Reason” from 1750-1820.
This was preceded by the Baroque period. The track of the Baroque tended to be
pretty complex; it is still high-quality known for its use of counterpoints, in which a
couple of simultaneous melodies compete for attention. A single, clear melody
supported by means of a pleasing concord become taken into consideration.

Baroque melodies have a tendency to run on breathlessly for any number of

measures. The ideals of neoclassicism, on the opposite hand called for balanced,
well-proportioned structures, so the precise classical melody was constructed from
an even variety of terms of the equal length. This type of composing gives a totally
balanced structure that make the melodies easy for the average character to sing
and to remember.

This emphasis on clarity and ease inside a balanced shape does seem to have had
the effect that those composers of the Enlightenment were seeking-an art music with
an unusually customary appeal – and the effects were far reaching.

What I can Do

Question:

How does learning the classical period music help you? Write your answer in

SUMMARY:

The classical period music was an period of formality. The music was
characterized by careful attention to create and by elegance and restraint. The
formal structure was supported the utilization of thematic development and
harmonic structure. It tends to be more homophonic and lighter texture that the
Baroque. During this period, emotions were carefully controlled. This control is
obvious within the use of dynamics and expressive differences within sections or
movements of a composition.

One of the famous composers during this period were Franz Joseph Haydn,
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Van Beethoven.. They composed
hundreds of symphonies, sonatas, sting quartets, operas, mass settings and
concertos.
