I. FOCUS LESSON
The period from 1750 to 1820 is generally referred to as the Age of Reason and Enlightenment.
This era is considered nonreligious, impartial, logical, respectful to human welfare, and universal.
All of these characteristics are reflected in the music created in this time.
Texture Usually homophonic. There is one melodic line with a nonmelodic of less melodic
accompaniment, thus creating a simpler texture as opposed to the massive sound of the Baroque
Melody There is a strong emphasis on the melody in classical music. Classical melodies are typically
short, lyrical and easy to sing. Melodic lines re more diatonic than of Baroque music. There are
also elements of folk music that can be heard in themes of highly sophisticated classical
composition.
Harmony Classical harmony is a lot simpler than that of the Baroque. It is strongly tonal because key
signatures are firmly established during this period. It uses more of the primary chord - tonic (I),
subdominant (IV) and dominant (V)
Dynamics and In order to express different feelings, moods, and emotions, dynamic markings are widely used
Instrumentation such as forte (loud) and piano (soft). Dynamic levels cannot demonstrate through playing the
harpsichord. This led to the replacement of harpsichord by the piano, which was perfected by
Bartolomeo Cristofori- an Italian maker of musical instruments famous for inventing the piano.
Form Musical forms in the Classical period were clearly defined. Music was organized into precise,
well-balanced and clear sections. The ABA structure of music was commonly used which has two
basic melodies- Melody A and Melody B. However, this musical structure is called ternary.
Improvisation The importance of the basso continuo had been reduced during this period. This is why
improvisation had become less and less significant. Unlike Baroque music, classical music with
its specific harmony, ornamentation, dynamics and phrasing was clearly indicated in the musical
score. If Baroque music uses the basso continuo chord figure as the bass accompaniment,
classical music uses the Alberti Bass- a broken chord figure named after Domenico Alberti.

Sonata Is a large instrumental composition made up of several movements or sections. The first
movement of section of a sonata is written in a form called sonata-allegro form or first
movement form.
Exposition -where the basic theme is presented in the tonic key; modulation also takes place
for the subordinate theme from the tonic key to the dominant key; it concludes in a theme called
codetta.
Development-where the main theme is developed in different ways; the theme may be treated
in differen keys, registers, textures and timbres
Recapitulation-where the themes in the exposition are restated in the tonic key but not exactly
the same
Symphony Performing the symphony can last from 20-45 minutes.
The typical sequence of symphony are as follows:
First movement- fast and vigorous; in sonata form; usually in duple meter
Second movement- slow tempo; can be in sonata form, rondo or theme and variation structure
Third movement- dance-like movement; can be in minuet or scherzo form
Fourth movement- brilliant, lively and fast movement; often either in sonata form or sonata-
rondo form.
Concerto Is a major instrumental composition combining the virtuosity of the instrumental soloist and the
various textures and expressiveness of the orchestra. The soloist and the orchestra are equally
important creating a balanced dialogue between the two. The piano is frequently used as the solo
instrument. Other solo instruments like violin, cello, horn, clarinet, trumpet and bassoon can also
be employed. It is composed of three movement following fast-slow-fast structure.
Chamber Music Is designed in such a way that it is performed in a small room or in a palace, unlike the
symphony or concerto which is performed in a public concert hall. It is composed for small
ensembles consisting of only two or nine players and usually only one instrument to a part. The
most important chamber music ensemble is the string quartet. Its music is written for 2 violins,
1 viola, and 1 cello. It is usually composed of four movements: 1. Fast,2. slow, 3. minuet or
scherzo and 4. fast.
