 What’s In

The classical era which roughly starts from the death of J.S Bach in 1750 to the
deaths of Beethoven in 1872? In this era, Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn are the most
talented and well-known composers. Development of music takes place in where orchestra
become standardized. The classical orchestra was consisting of string instruments (first and
second violins, violas, violoncellos, double basses), two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two
bassoons, two to four horns, two trumpets and two timpani. Later Haydn introduces clarinet
as part of the wind instruments. In Military Symphony (no. 100) he introduces some
percussion instruments like triangle, hand cymbals, and bass drum.

Classical music departs from baroque style in that sometimes several voices may
move together as chords involving both hands, to form brief phrases without any passing
tones. Though such motifs were used sparingly by Mozart, they were taken up much more
liberally by Beethoven and Schubert. Such chords also appeared to some extent in baroque
keyboard music, such as the 3rd movement theme in Bach's Italian Concerto. But at that
time such a chord often appeared only in one clef at a time, (or one hand on the keyboard)
and did not form the independent phrases found more in later music. 

Beethoven and Mozart cultivated mood markings such as con

amore, appassionato, cantabile, and espressivo. In fact, it is perhaps because improvisation
is spontaneous that it is akin to the communication of love.

What’s New

Accompaniment, in music, auxiliary part or parts of a composition designed to

support the principal part or to throw it into relief. In secular medieval music and in much folk
and non-European music, instrumental accompaniments for singers accommodates unison
or octave duplications of the melody (sometimes with slight differences, creating
heterophony, the simultaneous performance of variant versions of the identical melody), of
novel rhythmic features, or of a drone (sustained note or notes) played on wind or stringed
instruments. In 16th-century European music, solo songs were sung with simple lute
accompaniments, both chordal and contrapuntal (using interwoven melodic lines).

At the beginning of the 17th century, the introduction of thorough bass or basso
continuo takes place. This is a type of harmonic accompaniment improvised at the
harpsichord or organ and based on chords that the composer indicated by figures. By 18 th
century, J.S. Bach his sonatas and solo cantatas are accompanied by thorough bass. The
accompaniment thus assumed a role as important as that of the soloist.

The term obbligato accompaniment came to be applied to accompaniments of this

kind, as hostile impromptu accompaniment, the unessential ornamentation or the optional
reduplication of a component, performed on a secondary instrument. Obbligato
accompaniments were sometimes written out, among them one originally improvised by
Bach for a movement of his Sonata in B Minor for flute and harpsichord.  In the second half
4
of the 18th century the obbligato accompaniment assumed a primary role, gaining increased
complexity and musical substance while the solo instrument was reduced to the role of an ad
libitum accompaniment. Thus, Mozart followed the example of a contemporary composer,
Johann Schobert, in writing four sonatas for harpsichord accompanied by the violin.

What Is It

Accompaniment is the musical half that provides the rhythmical and/or harmonic

support for the melody or main themes of a song or instrumental piece. There are many
alternative designs and kinds of accompaniment in numerous genres and designs of music.
In homophonic music, the most accompaniment approach utilized in music genre, a
transparent vocal melody is supported by subordinate chords. In music
genre and ancient music, the accompaniment elements usually give the "beat" for the
music and description the chord progression of the song or instrumental piece.

The accompaniment for a vocal melody or instrumental solo are

often compete by one musician enjoying an instrument like piano, pipe organ, or
guitar. Whereas any instrument will in theory be used as an accompaniment instrument,
keyboard and guitar-family instruments tend to be used if there's solely one instrument, as
these instruments will play chords and bass lines at the same time (chords and a bass
line are easier to play at the same time on keyboard instruments, however a
fingerpicking musician will play chords and a bass line at the same time on guitar). A solo
singer will accompany herself by enjoying stringed instrument or piano whereas she sings,
and in some rare cases, a solo singer will even accompany himself or
herself simply victimisation his or her voice and body

Alternatively, the accompaniment to a vocal melody or instrumental solo are

often provided by a musical ensemble,  in size from a pair (e.g., string and piano; stringed
instrument and double bass; synthesizer and percussion); a trio (e.g., a rock power trio of
electrical stringed instrument, electrical bass associate with drum kit; an organ trio); a quartet
(e.g., a string quartette in musical genre will accompany a solo singer; a rock
group or section in rock and pop; a jazz quartet in jazz); all the thanks to larger
ensembles, like concert bands, huge Bands (in jazz), pit orchestras in musical theatre; and
orchestras, which, additionally to taking part in symphonies, also can offer accompaniment
to a classical music solo musician or to solo singers in opera. With choral music, the
accompaniment to a vocal solo is often provided by different singers within
the choir, who sing harmony components or countermelodies.
