The Classical music period is the time from about 1750 to 1820 when Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and
Schubert were the most famous living composers.
We often talk about “classical music” meaning European music which is not pop music or jazz or folk music.
It is music which has been written by composers who have studied the art of composition. Classical music is
talked about in this sense.
This article is about “Classical music” in the late 18th century and the early 19th century. The word
“classical” is often used to refer to the arts of Ancient Greece and Rome. It has also come to mean any art form
which has become very famous and is remembered for centuries afterwards. In music the Classical period
comes between the Baroque and the period of Romanticism.
In some ways Classical music is often simpler than the music of the Baroque composers. There is often a
tune with a simple accompaniment using broken chords called an “Alberti bass”. For classical composers the
form of the piece was very important. Composers started their work with a tune (theme) and this tune would be
developed in different ways: put in different keys, changed from a fast to a slow tune, changed from major to
minor or from minor to major.

Statements True False

1. The classical music period was the time when Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and
Schubert hadn’t been born.

composers.
