MUSICAL PERFORMANCE PRACTICE OF CLASSICAL
PERIOD (1750- 1820)
Tuneful melodies and simpler textures also appealed to a
rising population of new audiences. During the late Baroque
period, public concert houses were being established for the
first time, allowing more people to hear concert music.
The number of public concert houses with a ticket-buying
audience increased in the classical period and became an
important way for composers and musicians to support
themselves. Finally, musicians no longer had to rely solely on
the church or court to perform their music and the practice of
writing music for public concerts. A practice that serves as the
origins for today's concerts and live performances was born.
