D. Discussion:

The term classical denotes conformity with the

principles and characteristics of Ancient Greek and
Roman literature which were formal, elegant, simple,
freed and dignified.

We have 3 famous Classical Period Composer,

the first one is FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN 1732 – 1809

Does anyone who is FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN? He is one of the most prominent Austrian composers of
the Classical Period. His life is described as “rags to
riches” story. He came from a poor family and his music
led to his rise in social status. He was hired by a rich
patron and eventually became a musical director for
Esterhazy family for 30 years.

Very Good! That’s correct! I have here a sample piece of His music reflects his character and personality;
FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN, and I want you to listen and mainly clam, balanced, serious but with touches of
observe. humor.

He also composed 100 symphonies and

developed them into long forms for a large orchestra.
He was named as the “Father of Symphony”. Most of
his works are “Surprise Symphony”, “The Clock” and
“The Military.” He also wrote chamber piano music and
choral works.

Next composer is WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART

1756 – 1791

he was playing the violin and harpsichord; at age
of six, he was recognized as an exceptional pianist
and at the age of seven he was already composing

era. He was a talented pianist and composer. His famous
compositions include 32 piano sonatas, 21 sets of
variations, 9 symphonies, 5 concertos for piano, 16 string
quartets and choral music.

Exactly! Very Good! One of the sample music that

Beethoven composed is the Fừr Elise that you’ve heard
earlier.

His music veered toward larger orchestra

What are the characteristics of Beethoven’s works? The sound was centered on the violas and lower registers
of the violins and cellos to give his music a darker mood.
All themes in a piece are tied together by one motif.
He also developed musical themes and motifs extensively
by means of modulation and used more brass instruments
and dynamics.
