Classical Period 1750-1820

Did you notice something? There was a difference between the ending date of the Classical period from the 1st slide to the 2nd slide. Why do you think that there is discrepancy over when the Classical period ended? Some place the end of the Classical Period at 1827 when Beethoven died. I prefer 1820, because Beethoven’s later music transitioned to the next period.

Style of music from Classical period Graceful, detailed elaboration Light, flowing melodies Short, simple phrases Homophonic – melody over accompaniment moving together Use of dance rhythms Variety and contrast were used Increased use of crescendo, decrescendo & sforzando Frequent changes in mood

(1770-1827) Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) 1770 - Born in Bonn, the capital of the electorate of Cologne (now part of Germany) 1789 – Might have briefly studied with Mozart 1789 – Mother died 1792 – Studied with Haydn 1795 – Public debut as pianist & composer in Vienna 1814 – last public appearance as pianist 1827 – died in Vienna

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) Could play piano, organ and violin His music is filled with assertiveness, aggression & passion Considered a transitional composer between Classical & Romantic Periods Life divided into 3 periods Youth/early manhood (1770-1802) Middle life (1803-1812), wrote all forms of music & most famous works Final period (1813-1827), personal stresses led to small number of works he produced; what he wrote was serious & intimate

Beethoven’s hearing loss 1796 – aware that he was losing his hearing 1799 – quit attending social functions 1800 – aware that it was getting worse & he would likely go deaf 1802 – went through depression Deaf before he turned 50. Broke strings on his piano because he was pounding the keys trying to hear the sounds
