Classical music from 1740-1820 placed an emphasis on clarity and homophonic textures. Composers like Haydn, Mozart, Gluck and Beethoven wrote extensively for ensembles like the symphony, concerto, and string quartet in forms like sonata form, using the expanded classical orchestra of flutes, oboes, bassoons, and clarinets. Melodies tended to be in straightforward 8 or 16 bar phrases contrasting between keys and moods.
