The Eighteenth-Century Concerto Comes from the word “consort” (partnership) Contains 3 movements Fast Slow Fast Classical concerto commonly featured solo instrument with orchestra Most popular instruments Violin Piano

Concerto – Other Features Cadenza Improvisatory “show-off” time for the soloist Comes near the end of the movement Orchestra falls silent Double Exposition Orchestra – Introduces themes Soloist – Restates themes

Mozart and the Concerto Played a crucial role in the development of the piano concerto Written primarily for his own use Piano Concerto in G Major, K movements I. Allegro II. Andante III. Allegretto: Theme and variations

Beethoven and the Concerto Wrote 5 piano concertos Violin Concerto in D Major (1806) (p. 288) I. Allegro ma non troppo (Concerto form; 7-part Rondo Form ABACABA II. Larghetto (Variation form) III. Allegro (Rondo form)

The Classical Sonata... An instrumental work written for one or two instruments, consisting of 3 or 4 contrasting movements. The movements followed the basic same multi-movement structure as the symphony, string quartet and concerto. Written for either for a solo instrument (piano) or for a duo (violin and piano—equal partners with an equal say) Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven wrote music influenced by the Turkish Janissary or military band. (Mozart’s Rondo alla Turca) Beethoven’s Pathetique

Mozart’s Piano Sonata in A major, K movements, but acts like a four-movement work without the first movement Third Movement Rondo form Influence of the Turkish Janissary band (p. 294)

Beethoven’s Pathetique, Op. 13 One of the most famous Pathos 1798 Three movements I. Grave, Allegro di molto e con brio  Sonata-allegro form II. Adagio cantabile (ABACA) III. Rondo (ABACABA)

Sacred Choral Music Mass (church music) Requiem Mass (church music) Oratorio – Large-scale dramatic work, of a religious nature, performed by solo voices, chorus and orchestra; no costumes, acting or scenery

Haydn’s The Creation From Genesis and Milton’s Paradise Lost Recitatives, solos and ensemble numbers are assigned to three archangels – Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael, and to Adam and Eve (Description on p. 303)
