style distinguishing the music from those of the previous era. New music
forms emerged such as sonata, concerto, and symphony.

works and other long instrumental compositions such as symphonies,
concertos and overtures.

different social classes.

 What is It

VOCAL and INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

SONATA

A multi-movement work for solo instrument, Sonata came from the word
“Sonare” which means to make a sound. This term is applied to a variety of
works for a solo instrument such as keyboard or violin.

SONATA ALLEGRO FORM

The most important form that developed during the classical era consists of
3 distinct sections: Exposition, Development and Recapitulation.

CONCERTO

Concerto is a multi-movement work designed for an instrumental soloist and

orchestra. It is a classical form of music intended primarily to emphasize the
individuality of the solo instrument and to exhibit the virtuosity and interpretative
abilities of the performer. The solo instruments in classical concertos include violin,
cello, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, horn and piano. A concerto has three movements:
fast, slow, and fast.

SYMPHONY

A multi-movement work for orchestra, the symphony is derived from the word
“Sinfonia” which literally means “a harmonious sounding together”. It is a classical
music for the whole orchestra, generally in four movements.

CLASSICAL OPERA

Opera is a drama set to music where singers and musicians perform in a theatrical
setting. The two distinct styles of opera, Opera Seria and Opera Buffa, were
developed during the Classical Period. The Opera Seria (serious opera) usually
implies heroic or tragic drama that employs mythological characters, which
was inherited from the Baroque period. “Idomeneo” by Mozart is an example of
Opera Seria. The Opera Buffa (comic opera) from Italy made use of everyday
characters and situations, and typically employed spoken dialogues, lengthy
arias and was spiced with sight gags, naughty humor and social satire. “The
Marriage of Figaro”, “Don Giovanni”, and “The Magic Flute” are examples of
popular Opera Buffa by Mozart.
