Ages refers to music from about 1750 to Beethoven's death 1827.
The germination of classicism took place in Italy in Baroque era. Later, due to the emergence of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven in Vienna, classical music was formed. Therefore, the "classical school" in music actually refers to the "Vienna classical school". Classical art, which first appeared in the field of literature and art, aims at restoring classical art in Greece and Rome, pays attention to symmetry and harmony in form, and mainly focuses on the pursuit of objective beauty. After the Renaissance, new music in the form of main melody rose in Italy and flourished in Germany and Austria with aristocratic society as the background. There were mainly three schools of music in the early days: one was the Berlin school centered on the second son of Bach, a master musician; The second is based on John Steinmeitz (Johann
Stamitz, 17 17- 1757). The third is the early Vienna school of music centered on Wagenza and Moon.
In classical music, although opera is also an important part, on the whole, classical music is characterized by instrumental music, especially sonatas and symphonies. Manheim School's chamber music and symphonies not only influenced Vienna School, but also directly influenced young Beethoven in Bonn.
Sonata form is a very representative form in classical music. That is, there is a contrast between the first and second themes in the presentation part, a development part in the middle, and then a reproduction part where the two themes are repeated. Mannheim Conservatory of Music had a fairly complete form at that time. Mannheim Music School also added minuets to the symphony form, and woodwind instruments also used double-tube arrangement in their symphony orchestration. Mozart added clarinet to his symphony, which he learned after listening to their band in Mannheim.

Period development:
When European music entered the classical period, that is, after Bach died in 1750, there was no polyphony in Europe, and the music style turned to a simple and practical theme. There were three great musicians at that time: Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn, the father of symphony! The theme of music has gradually changed from religious music that lasted for centuries to classical music with philosophical connotation! 1827 After Beethoven's death, the rigorous classical period ended. At that time, Europe was being baptized by romanticism. At that time, composers used composition as a means to express their inner feelings, which further developed the aesthetics of music and produced dazzling techniques and other musical expressions! Such as Paganini and Liszt. He was a very popular performer at that time! Music forms and styles are becoming more and more abundant, and there are some national composers who create in the national music language, such as sibelius of Finland, Grieg of Norway and Russian, who are all great composers of the national music genre ~
Because the three representatives of this period: Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven mainly lived and created in Vienna, they were also called "Vienna Classical Music School" or "Vienna Classical Music". Among the writers of this period, Mozart's serenade and roaming are very affinity. Haydn's cello concertos No.1 and No.2 will also be very suitable for beginners to enjoy. As for Beethoven's works, profound acoustics are within reach. Personally, I appreciate his violin sonatas Spring, piano sonatas Pathetique, Passion and Moonlight.
