violin, cello, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, horn, and piano. A concerto has three
movements: fast, slow, and fast.

4th Movement: Fast: typically Rondo or Sonata form
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.
