Question 1.
The Classical period was an era of classical between about 1750 and
1820. The name classical is applied to the period because in art and
literature, there was keen interest in, admiration for, and emulation of the
classical artistic and literary heritage of Greece and Rome.
The characteristics of classical is mainly homophonic and it has lighter, a
clearer texture than baroque music. It also has contrast of mood which is
great variety and contrast of mood recieved a new emphasis in classical
musci not only are there contrasting themes within a movement but there
also may be striking contrast within a single theme. The mood may change
gradually or suddenly and will express surges of elation and depression.
Flexibility of rythm also adds variety of classical music. The classical
composition has many ryhmic patterns, where a baroque has relatively few.
The classical style also includes unexpected pauses, syncopation and
frequent changes from long notes to short ones. The texture is smoothly
from one texture to another. A work may begin homophonically with a
melody and simple accompaniment then change to more complex
polyphonic texture.
Classical melodies are tuneful and easy to remember. The tunes is most
highly sophiscated compositions may have a popular flavor. Classical
melodies also sound balanced because they usually made up of two phrases
of same length. Classical composers also interest in expressing shades of
emotion to the widespread use of dyamic change from crescendo and
decrescendo. The end of basso continuo was gradually abandoned during
classical period. The reason why basso continuo became obsolete was that
more and more music was written for amateurs, who could not master the
difficult art of improvising from a figured bass. Sonata form developed and
became the most important form. It was used to build up the first movement
of most large scale works but also other movements and single pieces such
as overture.
