Classical Style: There was a stress on clean and uncluttered music. Melody was the most important aspect. You could hum the tune of the song! More instruments appeared in orchestras, such as the woodwind family. They began to look similar to what we see in an orchestra today.

Mozart’s Later Life: Mozart married Constanze Weber, the cousin of Carl Maria von Weber Mozart composed 6 String Quartets and dedicated them to his friend, Haydn in 1785. He became very ill and passed away in 1791. At the time of his death he was too poor to afford a funeral and was not buried properly. We do not know where Mozart’s grave is. Mozart was a freelance composer. This means that he didn’t work for any nobleman. Yet, he was very poor. Mozart was writing his Requiem (A requiem is a song for someone who has died) when he died. Some people believe he wrote it for himself.
