What Is It

MUSIC OF THE CLASSICAL PERIOD (1750-1820)

The Classical Era, also called “Age of Reason”, is the period from 1750-
1820. The cultural life was dominated by the aristocracy, as patrons of
musicians and artists generally influenced the arts. Significant changes in
musical forms and styles were made.

In the middle of the 18th century, Europe began to move toward a new
style in architecture, literature and the arts, known as Classicism. It was also
pushed forward by changes in the economic order and in social structure.
Instrumental music was patronized primarily by the nobility.

The term classical denotes conformity with the principles and

characteristics of ancient Greek and Roman literature and art which were
formal, elegant, simple, freed, and dignified. The same characteristics may
also describe the melodies of classical music. Harmony and texture is
homophonic in general. The dynamics of loud and soft was clearly shown
through the extensive use of crescendo and dimuendo. A style of broken chord
accompaniment called Albert Bass was practiced.

3
 When one hears the word “Classical,” it connotes several meanings. It
could mean:
 The art and literature of Ancient Greece
 The opposite of Romantic period
 The same as Art music
 The period beginning from 1750 up to 1820

Characteristics of Classical Music

1. An emphasis on elegance and balance
2. Short well balanced melodies and clear-cut question and answer
phrases
3. Mainly simple diatonic harmony
4. Mainly homophonic texture
5. Use of contrasting moods.

VOCAL and INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

1. Sonata
A multi-movement work for solo instrument, Sonata came from
the word Sonare which means “to make a sound”. This term is applied
to a variety of works for solo instrument such as keyboard or violin.
Below is an excerpt from the 3 movements of the Sonata no.16 in C
Major K545 by W.A Mozart

1st movement: Allegro-fast movement

2nd movement: Andante-slow movement

4
 3rd Movement: Minuet-It is in three-four time and in a moderate of
fast tempo.

2. Sonata Allegro Form

The most important form that developed during the classical era
consists of 3 distinct sections: Exposition, Development, and
Recapitulation.
Example: “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik”-by W.A Mozart

1. Exposition- the first part of a composition in sonata form that introduces

the theme.

5
 2. Development- is the middle part of the sonata-allegro form wherein
themes are being developed.

3. Recapitulation- repeats the theme as they first emerge in the

opening exposition.

3. Concerto
A multi-movement work designed for an instrumental soloist and
orchestra. It is a classical form of music intended primarily to emphasize the
individuality of the solo instrument and to exhibit the virtuosity and
interpretative abilities of the performer. The solo instruments in classical
concertos include violin, cello, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, horn and piano. A
concerto has three movements: fast, slow and fast.
 1st movement: Fast: Sonata-allegro form with expositions of
the orchestra and then by the soloist.
 2nd Movement:Slow: Has more ornamentation than the First
movement
 3rd Movement: Fast: Finale: Usually in a form of rondo,
resembling the last movement of the symphony and usually a
short cadenza is used.

4. Symphony
A multi-movement work for orchestra, the symphony is derived from
the word sinfonia which literally means “a harmonious surrounding
together.” It is classical music for the whole orchestra, generally in four
movements.

4 movements of the symphony:

 1st movement: Fast: Sonata-allegro form
 2nd movement: Slow: Gentle, lyrical-typical ABAform or theme
and variation
 3rd movement: Medium/Fast: Uses a dance form (Minuet or
scerzo)
 4th movement: Fast: Typically Rondo or Sonata form

6
Below is an example of theme from “Surprise Symphony” by Haydn

As the 18th century progressed, instrumental music was patronized primarily

by the nobility which led to the rise of public taste for “comic opera”. The music
was mostly of a simple yet pleasant character, while the singing was highly
flexible and sensitive and could freely express emotion through melody.

5. Classical Opera
Opera is a drama set to music where singers and musicians perform in
theatrical setting. The two distinct styles of opera, Opera Seria and Opera
Buffa, were developed during Classical Period. The Opera Seria (serious opera)
usually implies heroic or tragic drama that employs mythological characters,
which was inherited from the Baroque period. “Idomeneo” by Mozart is an
example of Opera Seria. The Opera Buffa (comic opera) from Italy made use
of everyday characters situations and typically employed spoken dialogues,
lengthy arias and was spiced with sight gaga, naughty humor, and social
satire. “The Marriage of Figaro,” “Don Giovanni,” and “The magic Flute” are
examples of popular Opera Buffa by Mozart.
