MUSIC OF THE
CLASSICAL
PERIOD
(1750-1820)
 Sonata
❑ It came from the word Sonare which means
“to make a sound”. Sonata is a musical
composition composed of multi-movement for
solo instrument or a small instrumental
ensemble.
❑ The term Sonare is applied to a variety of
works for a solo instrument such as keyboard
or violin.
 Sonata Allegro Form
❑ The most important musical structure that was
developed during the classical era consists of
three distinct sections:

Exposition
Development and
Recapitulation.
 Concerto
❑ It is composed of multi-movement work and it is made
for an instrumental soloist and orchestra. This classical
form of music is 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
❑ It is derived from the word sinfonia which
literally means “a harmonious sounding
together”.
❑ It is an elaborate musical composition for the
whole orchestra with generally four
movements.
 Symphony
❑ 1st Movement: Fast: Sonata-allegro form
❑ 2nd Movement: Slow: gentle, lyrical – typical
ABA form or theme and variation
❑ 3rd Movement: Medium/Fast: uses a dance
form (Minuet or Scherzo)
❑ 4th Movement: Fast: typically Rondo or
Sonata form
 Opera
❑ Opera is an art form that musicians and
singers perform a dramatic theatrical setting.
Opera This usually implies heroic or
Seria tragic drama that employs
mythological characters.
Opera This is from Italy. Comic opera made use of
everyday characters and situations, and typically
Buffa employed spoken dialogues, lengthy arias and
was spiced with sight gags, naughty humor and
social satire.
