Presentation transcript:

Life in the Classical Period The word ‘Classical’ came from people at this time wanting to copy the ancient Greeks Order and reason Wanted to make art and music all look and sound the same. This means that things are less personal.

The Classical Style Style Galant is music that sounded light and delicate. Rococo Style is art that looked light and delicate.

Rococo Art

Characteristics of Classical Music Contrast of Mood- a single piece of music may show many different emotions Classical melodies are Tuneful, which means that they are very simple and easy to remember.

Characteristics of Classical Music Piano was invented to have better control over dynamics Hammer on the strings could be hit lightly to produce a light sound or hard to produce a loud sound Plucking strings on the harpsichord couldn’t do this!

The Classical Orchestra More players- closer to 60 Now use brass, woodwind, and percussion all the time. Each instrument family had a job Strings, specifically the violin, was given the melody while the lower strings added harmony The percussion was added to make the music more interesting The brass were added to give the song power! (Brass instruments are loud) The woodwinds were given melody also because they sounded so different from the strings.

Classical Forms Most of the new forms of this era have 4 movements 1. Fast movement 2. Slow movement 3. Dance-related movement 4. Fast movement

The Emancipation of the Composer Patron vs. Public If you had a patron, you were treated like a servant If you just composed for the public, you were not guaranteed to earn money.

The Emancipation of the Composer Middle Class  wants concerts halls of their own Composers write for public concert halls Middle Class  wants children to learn music Composers write music for beginners

Vienna During the classical era, the most popular city for composers, musicians, and nobility was Vienna, Austria

Vienna Music was an important part of noble life You were expected to learn an instrument A good orchestra was a symbol of wealth. Having a composer work for you also a sign of wealth

Vienna Vienna attracted the attention of composers Haydn Mozart Beethoven All three men knew each other because they all moved to Vienna.

Sonata Form Sonata form is used in a single movement of music that is organized into three sections 1. Exposition- the main melody is introduced 2. Development- the main melody is treated in new ways 3. Recapitulation- the main melody returns Exposition Development Recapitulation Stability Conflict Most Conflict Resolution
