The Classical Period: The Dominance of Form and Balance and the Music of Haydn, Mozart and More

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Music of the Classical Period is characterized by its unwavering attention to form and balance in search of perfection. Haydn and Mozart, the best-known composers of the period, epitomize the period perfectly, though their melodic styles are quite distinct. The book also discusses other prominent figures including Clementi, Salieri, Stamitz and Gluck and concludes with a view towards the following Romantic Period through transitional composers Beethoven and Schubert.
