Javier Perez 1 Jonathan Javier Perez Mr. Edward Yasick MUS LN12 Part 1 1. Identify the distinctive stylistic features of Classical music. Greater focus is placed on tonal harmony, single-line melodies, expanded ensembles, and simplicity in classical period music. 2. Explain the standard multimovement cycle? How many movements are included? Numerous exceptional pieces of instrumental music, such as the symphony, concerto, sonata, and string quartet from the Classical era, are composed of three or four conventional movements. 3. Discuss the rhythmic flexibility, texture, melody, dynamics of classical music as compared with baroque music. The majority of it is homophonic, with melody rising above chordal accompaniment (but counterpoint is still present, especially toward the end of the piece). The piece's diversity and contrast became more obvious. In contrast to the Baroque era, the Classical period featured more frequent mood and timbre shifts as well as a wider range of keys, melodies, rhythms, and dynamics. 4. Discuss the emergence of the piano as the favored keyboard instrument during the classical era. Because it could play considerably more quietly and softly than the harpsichord, it was the favorite. The extension of the orchestra was the second significant advancement in sound during the Classical era.

In sonata form, it is the form of a single movement, with the exposition, development, and recapitulation as its three sections; occasionally, a coda would come after the recapitulation. The variation and theme are A type of music where the main subject is repeated again, changing either the pitch, rhythm, melody, dynamics, harmony, or tone color each time it is performed either on its own or as a component of a bigger composition. A trio with a minuet is Three pieces make up this dance-inspired musical form: the trio, the minuet, and the minuet. 3/4 time, triple meter, and typically moderate tempo frequently heard as the third movement in string quartets, symphonies, etc. Rondos are the final movements of symphonies, string quartets, and sonatas. They are composed of a subject that is repeated in variation after the next theme. 6. Discuss instrumental genres such as the classical era such as symphony, concerto, and chamber music. A symphony is a major orchestral work that usually consists of three or four parts. It was the most significant kind of absolute music during the classical era. The steam roller effect and the rocket motif were the two new themes. A concerto is an instrumental piece with multiple sections for a solo (or group) instrument. Chamber music is a genre of instrumental music that consists of a small ensemble with one player for each part. 7. Discuss classical opera focusing on the operas of Mozart. Opera is a theatrical play that is entirely performed to music. It consists of vocal parts accompanied by instruments, frequently including orchestral overtures and interludes.
