Artistic techniques and creative achievements Vienna classical composers put the role of tunes in the first place, and tunes with certain ideological, emotional or artistic image characteristics constitute the musical theme of their works. Structurally, this theme is often a complete paragraph, which can be divided into phrases, festivals and motives, and is organically linked with comprehensive folk songs and dances in Germany and Austria.
Motivation, as the smallest structural unit, is often the core of the theme and the seed of expression, and its interior often contains the contrast factors of potential motivation.
One of the great contributions of Vienna classical composers (especially Haydn and Beethoven) in composing techniques is to create the development method of motivation expansion, that is, to split the core motivation of music theme, and to enhance or change its characteristics by means of modeling, imitation, speed change, rhythm change, tonality change, harmony change and texture change, so as to break the stable and balanced state and create a development trend.
Because of the distinctive personality characteristics of motivation itself, people can recognize it through hearing even in the most complicated and intense changes. This opens up a new way for the content expression of music (especially pure instrumental music).
