Classical Time Period

About the Classical Time Period Approximately 1750 to 1825 Came from “Classicism” or Viennese Classic, since many of the great composers worked in Vienna. Classicism was originally about the arts. While the Baroque time period was linked to the courts and royalty, this NEW style was much cleaner. There were clearer divisions between parts, brighter contrasts and colors, and simplicity was preferred over complexity.

Instead of counterpoint, music now moved towards homophony  where a melody is put over a subordinate harmony (chords) Since music was no longer as complex as counterpoint, there was a greater focus on dynamics and phrasing. There were many characteristic rhythms, attention getting fanfares, funeral march rhythms, and more that characterized Classical music.

Form (the shape of a piece) became more common. Concerto and Sonata form became clearly defined with specific rules that audience members could listen clearly for. Classical music is lighter, clearer, and less complex than Baroque music. Classical music used shorter melodies that ended in a cadence (final chords). Instrumental music was the primary form of music – sonatas, trios, string quartets, symphony, serenades, and concertos.
